Spring is peeking around the calendar corner. It’s that delicate time between the chill of winter and the sauna soaking heat of late spring and early summer. In other words, it’s the best time in New Orleans.
For many of us, this means it’s time to plan our spring and summer breaks. Lucky for us, we live within driving distance of some of the best beaches, roadside attractions, resorts and coastal fun in the U.S. Whether you are looking to pack up the car for a day or weekend road trip, or need a longer getaway, we have you covered from the Texas coastline to the emerald beaches of Florida. Our annual Gulf Coast getaway is one you’ll want to bookmark for future trips along the shoreline.
Closer to home, there is still a long list of ways to have fun outside. We have parks aplenty and big changes are under way at many of those green spaces as spring cleaning takes on new meaning at some of our favorite places. Playgrounds, picnic spots, people watching, plus outdoor performances and recreation, New Orleans-area parks have some great options for friends and family get-togethers, long meditative walks and all manner of exercising the mind and body.
As always, we highlight the best of the season, with a roundup of Lenten menus and recipes, ways to have fun across the area and spring style for you and your home.
It’s a great time to get outside and enjoy the natural resources at our doorstep. So grab your walking or running shoes, pack up the car for an impromptu road trip, maybe stash an umbrella, and enjoy the fresh air. It’s the best time of the year.
