It`s everyone`s seamy underside, the city where respectable citizens go to get drunk, puke in the gutter, dance on tabletops, & go home with strangers, all without guilt. It`s the metropolitan equivalent of eating standing up-if it happened in New Orleans, it doesn`t count. ...

While New York has Dutch & English forebears, New Orleans has the French & Spanish to thank for creating a unique blend of eighteenth & nineteenth century architecture that has made it one of the most photographed cities in the world. Then there is the madness of Mardi Gras & the lure of its international jazz festival that has helped give it the nicknames; ”the City that Care Forgot” & ”the Big Easy.” Before the rise of the railroads it was the most prosperous city in the South. The city fell early in the Civil War, but the dwindling importance of cotton & river trade on the Mississippi led to the city`s real demise in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Today, tourism is an important industry & despite the inundation of floodwater from Hurricane Katrina in 2005, visitors have flocked back to the city.
