American playwright and author of "A Streetcar Named Desire," Tennessee Williams once said that "America has only three cities: New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans. Everywhere else is Cleveland." The largest city in Louisiana with a population of almost half a million, New Orleans welcomes more than 10 million visitors annually. They come to experience America's largest Mardi Gras festival and the thrill of riverboat gambling, or simply to immerse themselves in the city's remarkable "joie de vivre." The thriving tourism industry is not the only source of work here. Hurricane Katrina had devastating consequences in 2005, but the city has responded in force by creating new businesses in areas including high-tech business and alternative startups. New Orleans serves up more than bourbon, gumbo and jazz these days.
The jury's still out as to why this vibrant city is often referred to as "The Big Easy." Some theories attribute the name to the city's long standing support for musicians, others to its relaxed attitude to alcohol, and still more to its relatively low cost of living. No matter which of these factors gave New Orleans its nickname, there's so much to know and like about this fascinating city. A melting pot of culture, signature culinary delights, and live music, this is the fascinating city whose residents stood up to a hurricane and came out the other side stronger and more determined than ever.
