  I am from Toronto and visited New Orleans for the sixth time this past March. It is absolutely beautiful. Everytime I go to New Orleans I end up loving it more. The best way to describe New Orleans is that it is a mix of France, Spain and the USA all in one. The food is amazing and nowhere can you eat so well for so little money. The music is as good as the food and the people are real characters. The architecture of the French Quarter is simply outstanding and the Garden District and Faubourg-Marigny is equally beautiful. Bourbon Street is at times a nightmare, but if it gets too tiresome, drop down one block to Royal and you're in a different world. Judging from my past visits, the best time to visit New Orleans would have to be in April or early May. March seems to be touch and go. It could be 80 degrees, or like this year it could be 50 degrees which is a little too cool. Summer is oppressively hot- unbelieveable acutally, and should be avoided. Visit New Orleans and you will absolutely love it, I guarantee it.
