There's something unique and beautiful about every neighborhood. Favorite time of year in New Orleans? Middle of October to mid-November. Magical. Favorite place in the city that tourists don' t know about? Crescent Park – It's an escape from the city in the city. We go roller skating as a family in the evenings. Favorite New Orleans memory? Toomany to recount! I've got hundreds
