One of my favorite things about vacation is unexpected places…read more Places that you ran into on vacation that you either had no idea existed or no idea how great they were. French Market in New Orleans was definitely that for me on my trip out there. I had heard of it before i arrived but I truly didn't know how great it was. I stumbled upon it after visiting Cafe Du Monde near Jackson Square. I decided to walk off those beignets off and stumbled upon the French Market. It was overwhelming. Just rows and rows of vendors and food spots. It's an open-air market though it is covered. My favorite spot in there was Loretta's Pralines and her famous savory crab beignets-which is in competition for my favorite bite in all of New Orleans. It's a perfect spot to buy darn near everything a tourist would want to buy on a New Orleans vacation. It's located right near the outer edges of the French Quarter and the Riverwalk. It covers about six blocks and dates back to the early 1800s. It truly is a piece of New Orleans history. I feel it's a true "must-visit" spot for anyone coming to the wonderful city of New Orleans.

The other section had a lot of stalls selling trinkets, clothes, and artwork. I bought a couple of cute dresses and my friends and I all bought some artwork to bring home.

What I will remember the most about the French Quarter was the parts of it that you don't see on…read moresocial media. The parts where people actually live. Believe it or not there is a residential part of the French Quarter. I saw actual schools in the French Quarter that are there for the little kids who live there. I never would've known that if I hadn't went off the beaten path in the French Quarter. There are little markets and little community sports bars that are 100% filled or used by locals, not a tourist in sight. The architecture in those sections of the French Quarter are a little beat up in comparison to the more popular parts like Bourbon Street or Jackson Square. But the buildings still look pretty awesome. So my recommendation would be if you find yourself in the French Quarter, take a walk away from the touristy parts and venture off to the hidden part of the French Quarter-it's pretty awesome.

What can be said about the French Quarter that hasn't already been written a thousand times?…read more Plenty--once you see it the right way. If you've never been, skip the chaos of Mardi Gras and visit during the quieter stretches of mid-spring, preferably during the day. That's when the Quarter reveals itself. The crowds thin just enough to let you move at your own pace, to look up at the wrought-iron balconies, to hear the music before you see the musician, and to take it all in without fighting your way through it. History here isn't something you read about--it surrounds you. Spend time at Jackson Square, anchored by its iconic statue of Andrew Jackson, and framed by the stunning St. Louis Cathedral. Artists line the square, musicians fill the air, and street performers remind you that this city doesn't separate culture from daily life--it lives it. And then there's the food and music--both deeply rooted, unapologetically bold, and unmistakably New Orleans. Yes, the flavors can lean spicy, but the kitchens here know their audience. Just speak up, and they'll meet you where you are. But here's the truth: no photograph, no movie, no travel piece ever quite captures this place. The French Quarter isn't something you observe--it's something you experience. And once you do, you'll understand why people keep coming back, trying to put into words what is, at its core, impossible to fully explain.
