New Orleans in November: Keep the Meals and Music Close Together
New Orleans in November is better when each day belongs to one part of the city. Let a meal and music plan set the neighborhood, then leave enough slack for the street life in between.

Make these decisions first
- Do not schedule dinner across town from the music or bar you actually want that night.
- Give the French Quarter its own window, then spend another day somewhere less compressed.
- A long lunch can be the anchor; it does not have to be a detour from the itinerary.
