Well, I like architecture and New Orleans has a special type of architecture that is special to itself. To walk its streets (The Garden District!) is to wallow in beauty, in my opinion. I also love its history. Great for antiquing as well.
My wife is a fanatic for antiques and insists on going with me as often as possible. She just can’t afford them. I go for the charbrioled oysters, although we have to travel to Metairie for them (Drago’s).
