Have you noticed?

Everyone's all abuzz about New Orleans.





I don't blame them. I love that town. Especially because it holds a special place in the history of Mr. W and me. Besides that, it's just a genuine, colorful, delicious and overall awesome place. It's a city that wears its heart on its sleeve. It's real.

Here are more reasons to go:

• This year's festival. The line up is INCREDIBLE!

• Food is ALWAYS a good reason to visit. I especially loved this recent post from The Meaning of Pie.

• Iced coffee and a beignet or two, or three!

• A new wave of hospitality.
