Welcome to New Orleans: It all began in the 18th century when the Acadians, deported from Canada to the United States, founded New Orleans. As time went on the influence of the Spaniards, the Native American Indians, and the West Indians blended customs and traditions to create the state of Louisiana and the Cajun culture. The old French Quarter, the foundation of New Orleans, to this day retains its local charm and joie de vivre, particularly on Bourbon Street, the Quarter's most famous thoroughfare. The Cajun, where the Mississippi meets the Hudson, invites you to savor the New Orleans atmosphere by partaking in its authentic Cajun/Creole cuisine, and listening to some of the hottest jazz in the Big Apple. If you are visiting us for the first time, prepare yourself for sounds to “make the good times roll" and flavors richly seasoned by generations of evolving cultures. If you are returning, we welcome you back and are glad you are joining us again to re-experience New Orleans in New York.
