I love to travel. I also love to try new things. So whenever I get the chance to do both I love it. Recently I have been able to call up on my network of amazing travel writer friends for their advice on what to see, where to stay and which are the best restaurants when I travel. They gave me great advice when I went to Iceland, so I called out to them again for a trip to New Orleans and they did not let me down.
Here is the best advice from travel bloggers on things to do in New Orleans.
