New Orleans Travel Tips

When to Visit - Arts and Events

The arts are well represented in New Orleans, the ‘City of Jazz' and, in character with its lively nature, the city enforces no legal closing times for clubs or bars.

New Orleans Dining

New Orleans is the home of Cajun cuisine, spicy, strong and distinctive, as well as classic French-influenced Creole cooking. Seafood is very much the order of the day - those who feel adventurous might try fried crawfish tails, crab chops, shrimp bisque or the famous gumbo. If that doesn't appeal, other possibilities include traditional American cooking and a variety of international styles.

New Orleans Tipping Advice

Throughout America tipping is more or less compulsory. In restaurants waiters expect around 10 to 20 percent, as do taxi drivers and hairdressers, while porters and bellboys anticipate around one or two US dollars per piece of luggage. You are not expected to tip in fast-food restaurants or cinemas.
