Actually, you don't have to choose—you can wander from one nightclub to the next, and settle in where you feel most comfortable. Among the best: <a href="https://www.afar.com/places/the-spotted-cat-music-club-new-orleans">Spotted Cat,</a> which is always hopping with local trad jazz and the occasional Cajun band. Finish off your stay with a detour to the <a href="https://www.afar.com/places/louisiana-music-factory-new-orleans">Louisiana Music Factory</a>, where you can pick up CDs of your favorite discoveries from your rambling through the city's clubs.
