New Orleans: Why The Big Easy Has Become The Destination for an Epic Guys Weekend Getaway

When it comes to planning a guys weekend, New Orleans may not get the love some other major metro cities command.

At first glance, the Big Easy doesn't seem to carry the hype of say Miami's South Beach, or the Big Apple, Sin City, Hollywood or a number of other storied favorites of years past.

Those cities all have their obvious charm and appeal when you want to get the boys together for that much-needed getaway from the rigors of life's routines.

However, a peek behind the curtain reveals that what New Orleans may lack in flash, it makes up for with plenty of substance.

Regardless of your crew's weekend extravaganza agenda, it's the perfect new spot for adventure, exhilaration, indulgence and relaxation.

It's a city filled with culture, pride, resilience, art and joy.

There are plenty of cool exhibits and museums to see that can give you insight into the history of the city, its people and its enduring spirit that's felt as you roam its streets.
