Editor's note: A grand old city and the birthplace of jazz, New Orleans is also home to some of the best food you’ll ever eat. The short list: soft shell crab po boys, shrimp etouffee, bread pudding with bourbon sauce, muffuletta, and gumbo, a thousand times gumbo. It’s also got lovely architecture and incredible tropical plants literally everywhere, but take it from us: arrive hungry! In the meantime, enjoy some gorgeous New Orleans wallpapers.
