#4 - New Orleans, Louisiana
New Orleans is just a fun place. It's also an American cultural treasure and surprisingly pet friendly, ranking it at #4 on Lana's Top 10. Thanks to the extraordinary resilience of its residents, the prime tourism areas such as the French Quarter, Downtown and the Garden District are fully back in business. Lana had a blast when she was there in 2007. Go between mid October to mid April unless you really like high heat and humidity.
