New Orleans\r - The Big Easy has been through a lot these past six years, but it’s still a gem. With a diverse culture all its own, this city offers fun, great food and an incomparable musical history.\r\r\rWhat to Do: Eat gumbo, beignets and jambalaya. Visit the Musician’s Village, conceived by NOLA natives Harry Connick Jr. and Branford Marsalis, or stroll through the French Quarter. The city hosts free concerts every Wednesday into October. The Celebration in the Oaks in City Parks, where centuries-old oak tress are lit up, is a magical must-see.\r \r\r\r(Photo: Mario Tama/Getty Images)
