Best vacation place for a single guy to go over Christmas and New Years?
I'm planning to go away over Christmas and New Years 2009. I'm a single virile and want some place that is hot and just want to relax and have a great time. Has anyone been somewhere that they would recommend?
Under consideration visiting New Orleans!
New Orleans has a number of holiday events and attractions, including a NYE "descent the ball" even in the French Quarter. The city has mild weather from late October to initially May and the city stays green all year most years (rarely freezes and almost never snows). We pay for the moderate winters with hot, humid summers – particularly in July & August.
NOLA is one of the dialect birth b deliver's special places with an ambience unique in North America, and remains so even after Katrina devastated it in 2005.
Katrina flooded about 80% of New Orleans with spiciness water, and the water stayed for almost a month. Much of the city is still struggling to recover and all you have to do to see devastation is require around. It will take years for NOLA to fully recover from Katrina.
However, the parts of the city that tourists on the whole visit were not flooded. It's not a coincidence - the French Quarter and other old parts of the city were built on less high ground and only suffered wind damage from Katrina. Almost all of the damage has been repaired and you have to look closely in the FQ and borough center to see that Katrina happened at all. You should visit and see for yourself.
Note that the City of New Orleans is only part of the greater New Orleans extent. The GNO area had a population of about 1,400,000 before Katrina and is estimated at about 1,200,000 now (July, 2007). The withdraw 200,000 are mostly from the City of New Orleans and the parishes of Plaquemines and Saint Bernard, which were the worst-flooded parts of the metro section. Jefferson Parish - just to the west of the City - suffered only minor flooding and has fully recovered.
You can gulp the water, the electricity & phones work, and services like the post office, hospitals, schools, and policemen/fire/EMS are operating. Restaurants, stores and shopping centers are open.
Municipal services like high road cleaning & trash collection collapsed after Katrina. Those services were fully restored in new 2006 and it is no longer an issue.
I recommend staying in the French Quarter (Vieux Carre") if you can. There is a very wide line of selections available, from moderate guest houses to very exclusive "boutique" hotels. Search Yahoo Rove and Travelocity for ideas and also check the hotel websites. Go to www.frenchquarterhotels.com for some non-chain hotels.
You don't sine qua non a car to get around in the French Quarter, Central Business District, or Warehouse District. Also, the parking regulations are Byzantine and there are lots of Parking Be in control of Agents. If you drive or rent a car, leave it in a lot or garage unless you are traveling away from downtown.
The regional progression authority (www.norta.com) sells 1 and 3 day passes that offer unlimited use of buses and streetcars for the day(s) you restricted. There are also lots of taxicabs.
Regarding crime, use the same common sense necessary in every major metropolis in the world and there is little chance you will be a victim of anything except a need to visit the gym:
Things to do:
There are many sightseeing opportunities in the greater New Orleans square, including carriage rides/tours, plantation tours, swamp tours, ghost tours, and even Katrina calamity tours. The steamboat Natchez also does a harbor tour. There are numerous tour companies and your motor hotel can help with the arrangements. Try to avoid scheduling an outdoor tour until you know the weather presage for the day in question.
The Saint Charles Streetcar is the oldest continuously operating street rail in the world and is a "tourist attraction" in its own right. It is part of the public transit system, as are the Canal High road and Riverfront streetcar lines: http://www.norta.com/
There is always music, but the bands change: Go to www.bestofneworleans.com and click on Music then Listings or to www.bizarre.com and click on Listings, then Music. Note that music clubs often advertise "No Dress", meaning there is no charge for entering. However, clubs with "No Cover" often lack that customers buy a beverage each for every "set " of music (which can be every 20 minutes) so know the penalty before you sit down. The clubs do that because some people will sit in the club all evening drinking water or nothing. It is also a good idea to pay for each ball-like of drinks (in clubs on Bourbon Street) as it s delivered so there can't be any confusion at the end of the evening.
Wander around the French Division, enjoy the architecture, watch the street entertainers (do tip), and visit some of the historic buildings that have been turned into museums (go to www.frenchquarter.com and click on Consequential Attractions).
Assuming the weather is good, you can collect a sandwich lunch and eat in the riverfront greensward (watch the shipping) or in Jackson Square (a very nice park).
The Riverwalk shopping center has an air-conditioned nourishment court with dining overlooking the river (www.riverwalkmarketplace.com). The Canal Place shopping center is in the French Mercy and has a cinema and higher-end shopping (Saks 5th Avenue, Brooks Brothers, etc.)
The lobby for the Westin Canal Okay awkward Hotel is on the 11th floor and overlooks the French Quarter. It is a great place for an afternoon rot-gut/snack:(www.westin.com).
Cafe du Monde is in the French Quarter and you shouldn't miss having cafe au lait & beignets (www.cafedumonde.com). Another inordinate coffee shop is the Croissant d'Or (at 615 Ursulines Street), which is open from 7:00am to 2:00pm and has subsistence in addition to pastry.
The Palm Court restaurant is very nice, has moderate prices, and household live jazz starting at 8:00pm: 1204 Decatur Street, tel 504-525-0200 (reservations are weighty and they are not open every day). The Palm Court is closed from about July 25th to about September 25th each year.
All of the famous restaurants (Antoine's, Arnaud's, Brennan's, Commander's Mansion, etc.) have reopened. The Pelican Club (on Exchange Alley in the FQ) is not as well known but is the same type experience. Reservations are a passable idea, and probably essential on weekends. Tujaques Restaurant (823 Decatur Concourse) is very traditional and has moderate prices: http://www.tujaguesrestaurant.com/
Cafe Degas is a very French restaurant closer City Park at 3127 Esplanade - which is not within walking distance of downtown (5 to 10 minutes by drive). They are closed on Mondays & Tuesdays (504-945-5635).
The Napoleon House restaurant is at 500 Chartres Drive in the FQ, and has a menu of great local dishes: http://www.napoleonhouse.com/
There is a free ferry across the Mississippi at the "foot" of Canal Drive. It is a short trip but like a harbor cruise w/o a guide: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/canal_terrace_ferry
The Aquarium and Audubon Zoo are world-class attractions (www.auduboninstitute.org) and you should see them if you can. The Zoo is several miles from downtown. You can approach to the Zoo (which has free parking) or take public transit from the French Quarter.
The Louisiana State Museum is in the French Fifteen minutes: http://lsm.crt.state.la.us/ New Orleans is also home to a number of other museums, such as the National World War II Museum (www.ddaymuseum.org) and the New Orleans Museum of Art (www.noma.org). Both can be reached by noted transit: The WWII museum is in the central business district but a long walk from the French Rooms. NOMA is not within walking distance of downtown but has free parking.
Check www.frenchquarter.com for ideas about other things to do.
Fancy you have a great time, wherever you go!
How do I get a new tile to a single wide mobile home in nc that was lost?
My hide bought a single wide mobile home in nc and has lost the title how do we get a new title?
You do not go to the DMV go to your county clerk and recorder mediation, the same place you go to get your lic. plates for cars (which is not the DMV) they will be able to get you a new title, they ask for proof of identity when you go in.
