N4. New Orleans
New Orleans is the center of Cajun culture, and this Louisiana charmer leaves no doubt as to why the U.S. consistently ranks among the fattest countries in the world.
Find a front porch, a balcony, or a rocking chair and enjoy some Creole goodness, backed with the near-constant smooth beat of the city’s famous music scene, whether it be jazz, blues or rock n’ roll.
Start with beignets, the official state doughnut of Louisiana since 1986, fried crawfish, or jambalaya, and tuck in for the night with gumbo, étouffée, and red beans and rice.
Or you could just do something nice for someone and build some houses for those in need. It is one charity that lets you do that, and in the end you’ll be happy of the work you did.
Plus, you will be too busy and sore to think about other things, and you’ll return home slimmer, fitter and with good, positive energy.
