New Orleans is a melting pot of varying music, cultures, and atmospheres; and is by far, my favorite place to visit. New Orleans music is a mix of Jazz, Gypsy, and Cajun music, which seems to uplift your soul and make you want to dance. The culture there is a true melting pot of international backgrounds that mix together, like a good bowl of Jambalaya. And the atmosphere is like magic, with its café’s and street performers. There is almost never a dull moment in New Orleans, and the energy there is extraordinary.
Within the heart of New Orleans, there are varying types of music that contribute to the spirit of the people. My three favorite types of music featured there are, Gypsy Jazz, Zydeco, and Cajun music. Gypsy Jazz which is basically Jazz with and accordion. Zydeco, is very folksy and uses particular instruments like a rub board. It’s typically music that is in more rural areas and sung in Creole French.

This coffee shop is best known for its beignets, which is fried sweetened dough with powdered sugar that just melt in your mouth; and its chicory coffee with milk, otherwise known as café al lait. When you’re sitting in the partially enclosed café, you can hear lots of different music from brass band to jazz performers, right across Jackson Square. You see the horse drawn carriages walking the street in front of you carrying tourists, locals, and those celebrating an occasion. And in the square itself, you see individuals with their own table set up, either performing, selling handmade goods, or doing Tarot readings. Therefore, Café du Monde is open 24 hours a day and accommodates to millions of people each year; and is also a favorite of the locals. This café is a landmark and a must go, to get a feel for the true atmosphere of New
