Description
The city of New Orleans is known for its music, food and nightlife; it�s like sensory overload. The French influence is present in almost everything that makes up the city, but New Orleans has become much more than a city influenced by the French. The Crescent shaped city has been a major center of commerce in North America since before the Constitution of the United States. Gateway to the Midwest via the Mississippi, New Orleans is one of the most important port cities in the South. Many of the traditions including the music and the food, travelled north via steamboats spreading the unique flavor of the city.
Of course, being one of the oldest ports in the United States, New Orleans has a history with pirates. Jean Lafitte was known to hang out in New Orleans and with the beer, the food, the music and the women, who could blame him.
