America's Favorite Cities 2012 - New Orleans | Travel + Leisure

See why New Orleans is once again America's sweetheart!   No surprise that we rank so highly in music and people watching, but personally we love that NOLA is #1 for Happy Hour!

A new app for NOLA

There's an app for that!   iPhone/iPad users can now download a great new tool from the city's convention and visitors bureau.   Features attractions, restaurants, lodging (you already know where to stay, though!) and more.

You can search for it under "GO NOLA" but here's the rather clunky URL:  http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/go-nola-official-tourism-app/id523868920?mt=8

New Orleans tops for shopping!

Okay, we don't have a Costco (yet) nor does Crate & Barrel grace our fair town, but readers of Travel & Leisure magazine don't care.   They just named New Orleans as the best shopping city in America thanks in large part to our great boutiques, flea markets, and antique stores.    We enjoy browsing Magazine Street on Saturdays and always love a stroll down Royal when the weather is nice, so I guess it's not so much of a surprise after all!
