NYC2NOLA Road Trip 2011

The latest in our Go Beyond series – we urge you to get out and explore the neighborhoods, parks and cemeteries outside the (in)famous Bourbon Street in New Orleans.

Ah, the South. In a land where Mac’n’Cheese is considered a vegetable, we did manage to find some fantastic vegetarian options on our Great American road trip through the South this year. Caution: this post will make you hungry!

We spent the last two days in the Carolinas – visiting Charlotte in North Carolina and Charleston in South Carolina.

We escaped the hurricane by driving west from D.C. instead of heading to the beaches of North Carolina. An excellent decision, as we had a sunny day and a drive through some spectacular scenery!

Stop 4 on our NYC2NOLA road trip! Safe and sound in the sunny Appalachian mountains in North Carolina, we just love Asheville, Biltmore and hiking the AT…Also taking suggestions for our next stops in Charleston and Savannah

Every day spent in New Orleans leads us closer to hiring a real estate agent – we are loving it here in NOLA that much! Read on for a recap of our third day in N’awlins – some hootin’, a little hollerin’ and a lot of learnin’ about Creole culture.

The best part of traveling, in particular this current NYC2NOLA road trip, is catching those glimpses of people around the world going about their every day lives…

We extended our Great American Road Trip 2011 from New Orleans up to Chicago, with a stop in Memphis, TN. 3,000 miles, 15 states, and a lot of deep fried fixin’s later, NYC2NOLA road trip has finally come to an end. Read on for updates on the last days and find out where we are headed next.

Yesterday in Philadelphia was all about the food, so today we dedicated ourselves to discovering the role that Philadelphia has played in US history. Both of us knew about the main attractions/events like the Liberty Bell and the signing of the Constitution, but we were actually very surprised to understand just how much of the American way of life is revealed in the city.

From a mini self-hosted TV tour of NYC to a fabulous foodie Philly experience, we’re now on stop two of our Great American Road Trip from New York City to New Orleans. Watch this space, as we provide daily updates from each stop. Today we are in Philly!
