Couple of guys Ive talked to who lived in NO a while ago say they have the hottest chicks there.
Is this true or not??? cause me being born in Dallas, I know hot chicks when I see em.

I would say that if you like the dark hair/eyes look, you will be in heaven...how can I say this.....however, all that rice, beans, and fried food eventually catches up!

 

[Death Valley]

We have beautiful women down here. The girls from the river parishes and bayou towns usually look the best for some reason. But yes, they are all over. And no, just because we serve a lot of fried food doesn't mean that all of our women are fat. Just come down here and look around and see what I mean.

Tiger Darlin, with all due respect. Please do not send them to Mulate's. I mean the food is okay but that's what all the tourists do. I'd rather them get to the maybe lesser known places but that have better food. Mulate's isn't horrible but I think they should eat at the real New Orleans places. About the only thing I would go there for is the music they do.

well i liked it last year because we went to the Les Miles show, we got to meet with Les Miles, i guess that made it better than it really is. i don't know. i actually liked the food. but in my opinion, the only way to find anything you like is to walk around and find something. there's really just too much..

I spent 15 months at Keesler AFB and visited New Orleans many times. I am sure it has changed quite a bit since the late 80's but it sure was a blast.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Yeah guys. With Carnival, the NOPD has the expertise to handle large crowds, and we have lots of mobile paddy wagons. Do- not-fuck-with- NOPD. I'm talking life threatening stuff. And right now the New Orleans jail is not where you want to be. Not college town lock up. You can get hurt inside before you get a chance to get out. Seriously.

Its funny my grandfather was a biker and used to ride down there almost every year for MG. He used to tell me that exact same thing almost word for word as far back as the early 80's when I was 10-15 years old.

Also, I will just back up what Gator is saying from 1st person eye witness experience. NOPD cops are cool as hell with all the tourists but if you fight they will fuck you up. I saw one lone cop break up a fight that was going on almost half a block wide..I shit you not. Bunch of FSU and UF college kids got out of hand and had a VERY bad day.

 

[Muck]

well i liked it last year because we went to the Les Miles show,

The Les Miles show?!

Does he do magic tricks? Juggle footballs? Drop his pants and regale the crowd with his world famous blue humor?

Seriously WTF?

I'm surprised at the complete lack of love for New Orleans here. As an international tourist destination, New Orleans is one of the few cities that the United States can brag about. Usually, when people come to visit New Orleans, they are absolutely blown away. Here are some comments I found on the internet about New Orleans about a year ago:

"In many ways New Orleans reminds me of India and France"

"Whenever something reminds me of New Orleans, ... [it] always make me want to make a trip there again. I don't think there is a more magical place. I love that city ... boy oh boy, did I enjoy the mystery of [the French Quarter] area. I would often walk the streets and feel as if I had lived there in another time."

"New Orleans? French Quarter reminds me of the sexy city of Paris - it has that seductive European 'feel' that I feel 'connected'"

"I went to New Orleans to visit, and I was like, 'Wow, this is where I need to be.' I wandered about New Orleans. When I first moved here, at first it reminds me of Paris, it reminds me of Paris. It's just very European."

"yeah, I have a 'thing' for New Orleans. The French Quarter reminds me of the 'old cities' of europe. There is an ambience there you don't find in many US cities - a continental flavor more like Paris."

"I like New Orleans, because it reminds me of Europe (I am from Germany)."

"I enjoy walks through the French Quarter. It reminds me of Paris, a city I have grown fond of and find myself missing very much in recent days. The cafe's have me completely taken. There is a particular cafe, Cafe Sbisa, that has delectable pastries. I enjoy them so much that the waitress smiles as she brings me what I wish without me speaking a single word. I have enjoyed my time in New Orleans tremendously. The streets seem almost alive with the music and art that bleeds into the city. The colours entrance me and bring about such inspiration that I have often taken my sketch pad along with me as I lose myself in New Orleans' sweet, sultry embrace."

"New Orleans reeks of French influences and kind of reminds me of Paris, only the romance in the air is much more uncivilized (a.k.a. ?trashy?) and the people are 50 times more inebriated. I have also never heard more live music in such a short period of time. Everywhere you walk in Orleans there is great live blues, jazz, and Zydeco pouring onto the streets from the bars and the street musicians and artists in Jackson square rival anything I?ve seen in Europe."

"New Orleans is the most European city in the US, both in looks and in attitude."

"New Orleans reminds me of Harlem in that you can just feel the history surround you."

"New Orleans reminds me of Jamaica because we play jazz in Jamaica and we try to play different kinds of music and New Orleans is more like R&B, jazz and blues"

"New Orleans is a city with the very obvious feel of history that real cities have. Indeed, much of the French Quarter reminds me of home [born in Trinidad and Tobago but spent last 20 years in Brooklyn] and one cannot escape the city's French heritage."

And from that same internet search, I found these quotes of people comparing other great places on the planet Earth to New Orleans:


"The Zona Colonial, the oldest section of Santo Domingo [in the Dominican Republic], reminds me of the French Quarter in New Orleans. The scale of the buildings, huddled shoulder to shoulder, is the same. Both cities have an interesting blend of storefronts and homes. Balconies line narrow streets. Both, of course, were established under Spanish rule."

"I'm in love with the old city of Nantes, the area around the Cathedrale St. Pierre et St. Paul and the Chateau des Ducs de Bretagne (which has an honest-to-God moat): with its narrow cobblestone streets, funky little shops and restaurants, and interesting people to look at, it reminds me of the French Quarter"

"In Paris, we visit the L'Arc de Triumphe, the immense victory arch that Napoleon built in 1810. We had to walk through a rather apartment filled area to get there. The buildings here are so ornate and each window has a small balcony. Reminds me of New Orleans."

"Cape Town is just AMAZING. Much of the architecture reminds me of New Orleans, French Quarter."

"Key West reminds me of New Orleans French Quarter. I got some great pix of all the history and some very old churches which was cool."

"Amsterdam is a very interesting place it kinda reminds me of new Orleans or key west put together"

"Istanbul in some ways reminds me of New Orleans"

"Havana, Cuba reminds me of New Orleans. It even has a lot old trees and beautiful flowers."

"Havana, Cuba reminds me of New Orleans. I loved the restaurant I ate at with a spectacular location on the landmark Cathedral Square (Plaza de la Cathedral). A great people watching place. The seven person group is hot, featuring congos, cowbell, and bongos that give you a driving Cuban beat similar to that of Santana"

"This historical district in Puerto Rico reminds me of New Orleans? French Quarter. Businesses, restaurants, museums, plazas, fortifications, street musicians, shops, flowers, trees, churches, hotels, narrow streets, and cobblestones fill the area."

"The historical district of Plaza Machaca (in Mazatl?n, Mexico) reminds me of New Orleans both in style and design of construction"

"Old town [in Mazatlan, Mexico] reminds me of the French Quarter in New Orleans, especially at night."

"St. Thomas in the Caribbean. Reminds me of the French Quarter"

"St. Thomas -- Passing through the commercial district on the way to the hotel, there are endless shopping opportunities here, so we decide to return for lunch and shopping after getting settled in. Soon we're back having lunch and shopping in the narrow streets and alleys, which reminds me of the French Quarter in New Orleans"

"Panama City -- The old city reminds me of the French Quarter in New Orleans. Narrow streets. 2 story buildings."

"Bangkok reminds me of New Orleans. The food is spicy. The people are so nice. It's colorful and happy."

"Seattle's public market reminds me of New Orleans' French Quarter, with musicians singing and playing instruments along the streets, and of the open-air market of historic Charleston, S.C., with artisans selling their wares"

"Phnom Penh in Cambodia reminds me of New Orleans, with its vestiges of French architecture and the crusty baguettes sold around town each morning. The coffee is divine, too ? dark and rich and delicious. And like New Orleans' courtyards, gardens are tucked away behind the walls of white villas, revealing flashes of brilliant color from hibiscus, bougainvillea and orchids."
