Eat Your Way Through the Signature Flavors of New Orleans for Five Days & Four Nights with Economy Class Air for Two, Including a Dinner Jazz Cruise, a Demonstration Class at the New Orleans School of Cooking and a $200 Gift Card Toward Dinner

There is so much to do in New Orleans, from distinctive cuisine, to riverboat cruises, to enjoying the jazz that is inherent to the region.

You have three fantastic options for accommodations. Choose the timeless hospitality of the Windsor Court Hotel, where luxury is in the details - including a superb art collection dating back to the 17th century. Let the good times roll at the fully restored Hyatt Centric French Quarter New Orleans, located adjacent to Bourbon Street within walking distance of the city's most popular attractions. Or experience one of the most unique hotels in the French Quarter, the Maison Dupuy. Just two blocks from the heart of it all, this upscale hotel is set inside the city's historic Vieux Carre district and offers a distinct mixture of history and luxury.

Step aboard the Paddlewheeler Creole Queen and cruise into the night as you enjoy a lavish Creole buffet. On another night, bring your appetite to one of New Orleans' finest restaurants! Commander's Palace has been a landmark since the 1880s, where modern New Orleans cooking meets haute Creole. Chef Hao Gong showcases his artistic flair at Luvi - the place to go for Chinese & Japanese dishes prepared with a twist. Chef Justin Devillier puts his creative spin on traditional New Orleans cuisine at La Petite Grocery, where you'll find much-loved dishes like Turtle Bolognese and Blue Crab Beignets. Internationally renowned Galatoire's Restaurant brings recipes inspired by the familial dining style of France to America. Find old-world elegance at Brennan's Restaurant, a Big Easy tradition since 1946. The Creole menu borrows influences from French & Spanish ancestry with modern updates and seasonal offerings.

The entertaining demonstration class at the New Orleans School of Cooking is held in a renovated molasses warehouse, built in the early 1800s in the heart of the French Quarter. The popular lunch class will teach you the basics of food, folklore and Louisiana cuisine and includes generous samplings of the demonstrated items as well as recipes, coffee, iced tea and beer.
