New Orleans: The Birthplace of Jazz
In New Orleans, you'll find the roots of jazz and a blossoming culture that has been long described as being unlike anything else in the United States. Founded in 1718, it is one of the nation's oldest cities and has an atmosphere with a mix of Native American, French, Spanish, African American, Caribbean, Irish, Italian, Haitian, German, and Vietnamese influences, all creating an energy that can be described as something greater than the sum of its parts. Though hit hard by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the city continues to rebound and thrive, and it remains as one of the top tourist destinations in the U.S.
