Under the guidance of a chef at the Culinary Institute of New Orleans prepare and enjoy a Creole-style meal and then sit back and relax with an evening of jazz. Be creative in a mask-making class and board a steamboat in the French Quarter for a river cruise that takes you back to the slower-paced days when cotton-growing dominated life in the South.
