The best hop, skip and jump spots for aficionados of jazz in its birthplace where the music never stops and feet never stop tapping
RIDDHI DOSHI

It's three in the afternoon at the iconic French Quarter of New Orleans in the US. The city's oldest neighborhood is a vibrant hub of food and music. The narrow streets lined with beautiful, old buildings and their ornate French windows, are bustling with tourists. The bars, some dating back to the 1700s, are busy serving the city's iconic Hurricane and Sazerac cocktails. In its kitchens, orders for Gumbo and Jambalaya are piling up. In the midst of it all, a group of street musicians play foot-tapping jazz sets. Yes, as early as three in the afternoon. That's exactly why New Orleans is called the Big Easy. Two trumpets, one saxophone and a bass drum. That is enough to get the entire neighborhood grooving.
