Top 33 Magical Destinations To Visit In Your Lifetime

New Orleans

There’s never a bad time to visit the Big Easy, but 2018 is an especially good year, as the city is celebrating its tricentennial. Expect celebrations big and small, from a special edition of the Tennessee Williams Literary Festival to the opening of a new beverage museum by the Sazerac company. What better excuse to check into the Drifter, a boutique property in a repurposed motel that opened last summer and savor a few 25 cent martinis over a decadent lunch at Commander’s Palace, which is celebrating its own milestone anniversary—125 years of gumbo and grits.
