Falling in love with a city never felt so easy.
NOLA is known for their gumbo, crawfish, beignets, jambalaya, and more.
Here’s a little look inside my trip.

I was enamored with the Britsh-inspired decor, the spacious suite-like rooms, and the excellent service.
The talent in this room was incredible!
What we sat at the Acadeny was a teaser for what was to come:Shorty Fest.

Both the academy and the music festival are epicenters for creativity.
I was forced to pick my jaw up off the floor multiple times while sitting in the audience.
The Trombone Shorty Academy,Sun Ra Arkestra, and more artists put on an unforgettable show.

But the weekend of music didn’t stop there.
In 2023, more than 460,000 people came out to enjoy the celebration of music and culture.
And could I really consider myself a NOLA tourist if I didn’t visitBourbon Street?

It was 13 blocks of debauchery, dancing, and drinks.
I asked locals and checked TikTok to see which establishment had the best beignets.
They were so yummy and basically reminded me of a thicker funnel cake.

The Windsor Court: I had my first NOLA meal at my hotel.
This was also where I ate breakfast for the majority of my days.
Acura hosted a meet-and-greet dinner for the team and press.

Pardos: When I tell you I licked my plates clean at this place!
For me, the potato gnocchi was the star of the show.
I made sure to thank the chef because my taste buds were already doing so.

), visit some museums, attend more live music shows, and more!
