There's no shortage of summer fun in New Orleans. With so many great outdoor events in June, July, August, and September, and an average high temperature hovering just above 90 degrees during those months, it's imperative to keep your cool in the sun and crowds. Here are your keys to keeping the heat and humidity at bay, New Orleans style:

Daiquiris

Delicious and refreshing.
