About New Orleans
Whether you know it as "The City that Care Forgot" or "The Big Easy," New Orleans is a lot more than just a party town. Completely unique thanks to its French, Spanish and African-American cultural legacies and a history rich with heroes and scoundrels, New Orleans is also a city of profound resiliency. It's a city that refused to be swept away by the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. And while scars remain in some neighborhoods, especially the Lower Ninth Ward, key destinations like the French Quarter, St. Charles Avenue, Magazine Street, and the Garden District are once again the vibrant, bustling centers of activity they always have been. Residents, too, have been energized by this renaissance, welcoming visitors with a characteristically warm embrace. New Orleans' signature charm is unmistakable, and one day among its live oaks and gracious architecture - or one night spent on bawdy Bourbon Street - will have you yearning for another visit before you've even completed the first. Voodoo and the bayou. The Superdome and Mardi Gras. Saints and sinners. Steamy jazz and muggy nights. Po'boys and beignets ... Laissez les bon temps rouler, indeed!
Did you know?
Just how many nicknames does one place need? In New Orleans' case, the answer is obviously "many." Some know her as the "Crescent City," an allusion to the route the Mighty Mississippi takes through the city on its way to the Gulf. To many, she's the always laid-back and casual "Big Easy." Others, meanwhile, honor her legendary joie de vivre by calling her "The City that Care Forgot." And it doesn't stop there! Depending on what brochure you read, New Orleans is also known as the "The Paris of the Americas," "America's International City," "The Gateway to the Americas" and "The Queen of the Mississippi."
