New Orleans’ culture revolves around leisure time: time to slowly simmer Creole stew, time to practice and listen to music, time to celebrate and parade. To enjoy your leisure time Big Easy-style, go to restaurant Cochon for their hearty Cajun menu, or Franky & Johnny for the city’s best po’boys. Then head to Vaughn’s, a locals’ favorite dive bar that serves up authentic Louisiana barbeque along with live jazz and blues.
