Let’s Celebrate: National Tourism Week with the State of Louisiana Icons
What comes to your mind when you hear someone mention the state of Louisiana? For many, it’s typically Mardi Gras, New Orleans and the Cajun Culture. While those definitely are some of the main features of the state, this is so much more.
Food, Glorious Food: It’s quite easy to visit Louisiana and return home a little heavier than you were at the beginning of your trip. The food here in is something else. 
You really haven’t eaten in life until you tried a po’boy, muffuletta, gumbo, crawfish, etouffee, boudin and jambalaya – just to name a few dishes. You can’t forget dessert either – try some beignets or pralines, followed with cup of cafe au lait 
or Cafe Brulot. To really experience the flavors of Louisiana, follow the culinary trail.
Listen to the Music: Discover new music in Louisiana.The state is also a melting,- or maybe the correct term is,- a gumbo pot of music as well. Aside 
from jazz, you’ll find Cajun music , swamp pop and Zydeco being played throughout the state. Find the best places to enjoy the music by following the state’s music trail.
