A Hoopla in NOLA!
New Orleans is one of the world's most fascinating and exciting cities. Steeped in a history of influences from Europe, the Caribbean, Africa and beyond, it is home to a truly unique melting pot of culture, food, and music.
It is an indisputable fact that no place loves its food quite as sincerely - or as indulgently - as New Orleans. Some people eat to live, but in New Orleans people live to eat. As a result, NOLA offers one of the most incredible - and incredibly diverse - concentrations of exceptional dining and unforgettable cuisine in the world.
The original settlement of New Orleans, called Vieux Carré, French Quarter or simply The Quarter, is the oldest neighborhood in the city. Established by the French in 1718, the location was, and is still, a valuable site for trade due to its strategic position along the Mississippi River. European influence is also seen in the city's famous above-ground cemeteries. The practice of interring people in large, richly adorned aboveground tombs dates from the period when New Orleans was under Spanish rule. These hugely popular “cities of the dead” have been and continue to be an item of great interest to visitors.
In NOLA, you find bowls filled to the rim with gumbo, late nights in jazz and party clubs, strolls through historic neighborhoods, tantalizing festivals, and casino gaming. So, don’t miss the opportunity to join RAMP in NOLA and be part of the hoopla!
