Christmas New Orleans Style – Part One
This great city has so much to offer on its own, now with the upcoming Holiday Season, you could make your trip to New Orleans just that much more special.
Reveillon Dinners are part of the traditional French holiday season. New Orleans takes that a little bit further by offering a list of 37 restaurants that specialize in the Creole holiday dinner. Prix fixe menus are offered consisting of four to five course dinners with that authentic New Orleans flare.
Seeing the Christmas light decorations on homes is a highlight of the season and what could be more extraordinary that seeing these lights on the historic homes along St. Charles Avenue. It’s as easy as hopping aboard the St. Charles Street Car on Canal Street and riding up past the mansions and universities. For only $2.50 return, it can’t be beat.
Another way to get into the holiday spirit in New Orleans is at the ‘Miracle on Fulton Street’ located at Harrah’s Casino. This free family event provides is a festive holiday experience complete with Santa and his reindeer. And the best part? Starting at noon, it snows every hour on the hour. Now how cool is that?
