New Orleans, LA

About

New Orleans is the most celebrated city of the American South, and the largest city in Louisiana (some 255,000 in the city, 1.2 million in the metropolitan area as of March 2007, and still re-growing), as well as the state's top visitor destination. The city has a reputation for historical roots, hot and muggy weather, good food, good music, and over-the-top debauchery. Despite being hit hard by Hurricane Katrina recently, New Orleans is still the tourist hot-spot it always has been. Jazz music still rules the city's streets and Mardi Gras is still celebrated every day of the year.
