Why visit
Use New Orleans as a focused stop for music, theater, and performance where the calendar supports it, museums, galleries, and collections, markets, public squares, streets, and ordinary civic space. For New Orleans, the route should stay tight enough that streets and institutions can be compared directly. A useful visit should work from a few anchors rather than from a long itinerary. The streets around the main site often explain the place as clearly as the site itself.
When to avoid
Do not visit New Orleans expecting every worthwhile stop to be close together or easy to improvise. In New Orleans, opening hours, transport, weather, crowds, and distance can shape the day more than the list of sights. In New Orleans, distance, heat, parking, car dependence, and uneven transit can matter more than the list of sights. For New Orleans, do not make weak transit carry the whole day. Use a ride or car when it keeps the route sensible.
