New Orleans
Spring 2014
It took me a shameful amount of time to get myself down to New Orleans after my loveliest friend relocated there. Once I did, I understood the intoxicating adoration that lights people's faces when they talk about NOLA. Locals welcome you with open arms and rambling stories, jazz slips down the streets like smoke trailing from a cigarette tip, and of course, there is a drink waiting for you at every turn.
