New Orleans

Down by the Bayou come spring, the avenues of New Orleans are full of rhythm. Always colorful, chaotic, and soulful, there’s no better way to discover the city where jazz was born than by attending its crowning fête, Jazz Fest (April 24–26 and April 30–May 3, 2009), a 7-day cultural event where musical acts from across the globe perform on multiple local stages and Louisiana cuisine and crafts are showcased at the Fair Grounds Race Course. Home to the richest musical heritage in America, New Orleans is a city on the rise once again and Dave Matthews Band, James Taylor, and Joe Cocker are just a handful of the big names on hand to prove it.

How: Fly direct to New Orleans (MSY) from New York (Continental, JetBlue, Delta, American; about 3.5 hours), Chicago (American, United, Southwest; 2.5 hours), Miami (American; about 2 hours), Denver (United, US Airways; about 3 hours), and Los Angeles (Delta, United; 3.5 hours).
