Whether this is your first time to New Orleans or you're a seasoned visitor, the city's invigorating spirit is sure to inspire, captivate and motivate you to jump in and see and do so much. With so many options and many things to do all the time, narrowing the playing field can be a challenge. To truly get the most out of your experience while being in New Orleans, let's do a little math and think of it this way: divide how much time you have by what your priorities are-history, art, music, culture, and the like- and then add a little time for the spontaneous joy that is the Crescent City's calling card. Subtract a few hours for sleep, multiply your dining pleasure by at least three times a day, and you have the perfect equation for an unforgettable New Orleans experience. The only missing element in this equation, of course, is you!
