New
OrleaNs 新奥尔良
I’ve only been in New Orleans as a tourist once —
in 1998, for a wedding. My most vivid memory
from that trip is of a brisk, dark drive along a
river road, whizzing past railroad tracks and the
Mississippi River levee. Eventually, a well-lighted
150-year-old shotgun house loomed: Mat &
Naddie’s restaurant, where I encountered the
city’s penchant for savory cheesecakes and the
cozy restaurant-in-a-house design model of
some superb Uptown eateries — Brigtsen’s, Dick
& Jenny’s and Bistro Daisy among them.
It’s a subtler memory than the others I’ve
carried from that trip — the warm Brie and
sugary pecans at the reception; the grab-and-go
daiquiris in the French Quarter; the brass band
soundtrack that seemed to follow us everywhere;
the heavy heat; the stiff juleps. I realize that this
list reads like your typical guidebook’s description of Big Easy highlights, but even now as a
seasoned local, I still get warmhearted at the
prospect of experiencing any of the above. That’s
because some of the city’s most obvious charms
can also be the best portals for accessing its
contagious, cautiously reckless joie de vivre.
I was living in Jackson, Wyo., at the time, but I
knew after that whirlwind weekend that I wanted
to know this place more thoroughly. It was pure
luck that my then-boyfriend, now-husband
moved to New Orleans for medical school the
following year and invited me to join him.
I once told my mom that I had chosen Matt
as a mate because life with him would never
be boring. I had a similar intuition about New
Orleans. It’s through discovering and rediscovering the city’s signature attractions — jazz,

“新月城”
难以抗
拒的魅力无处不
在sara roahen
带您一同领略
我只在 1998 年作为游客去过新奥尔良一次,
那次
去是为了参加一场婚礼。
对于这次旅行,
使我记忆
犹新的一次愉快的经历是在夜色中沿着河岸公路开
车兜风,
我驾驶着轿车掠过长长的铁轨,
在密西西
比河的堤岸一路飞驰。
最终,
视野中隐约映现出一
座灯火通明、
愈有 150 年历史的盒式房屋: Mat
在
& Naddie’s 餐厅,
我领略了这座城市对美味的奶酪
蛋糕的热爱,
而一些住宅区里精美的小餐馆则被设
计成了舒适的家庭式餐厅,
使人流连忘返–其中便
有 Brigtsen’s、
Dick & Jenny’s 和 Bistro Daisy。
对于这次旅行最让我感到微妙的回忆是接待处
奉上的温热的布里干酪和糖核桃;
法国街区即取即
走的代基里鸡尾酒;
与我们如影随形的管乐队演
奏;
酷热的天气;
还有烈性的冰镇薄荷酒。
您也许
会认为这份清单与您经常在介绍
“快活之都”
热门
景点的旅行指南中看到的没有什么不同,
但即使现
在我对新奥尔良早已轻车熟路,
但仍会为这些充满
情趣的街头特色感到亲切不已。
这便是因为这座城
市最使人难以抗拒的魅力所在源于它那具有感染力
的、
谨慎而又随意的生活趣味。
我当时还居住在怀俄明州的杰克逊,
但自从经历
了这个旋风般激情四溢的周末之后,
我意识到我想
要更透彻地了解这座城市。
幸运的是,
我当时的男朋
友、
现在的丈夫决定在第二年搬到新奥尔良就读这
里的医学院,
而我被邀请与他同行。
我曾告诉过我的母亲,
我之所以选择 Matt 作为
伴侣,
是因为与他在一起的生活从来不会让我觉
得无聊。
对于新奥尔良我有同样的直觉。
在探索和
重新探索这座城市最迷人的特色中–爵士乐、
小龙
虾、
狂欢节–我们之间的爱变得越来越炽热。
当我
感到我们的关系有些沉闷的时候,
我便会拿出我的
汤勺,
尽情享用一份秋葵汤。
或者,
我会跳上圣查尔
