When I think of New Orleans, I think of the French Quarter, Mardi Gras, the Saints, Hurricane Katrina, food and jazz.
The French Quarter is a historical site that brings tourist all around the world to visit. It has a coffee stand called Cafe du Monde where tourists and natives go to get some coffee and beignets. Beside the coffee stand, there are little shops that sell either souveneirs, masks, and clothes. A big part of the quarter is the Jackson square. In the Jackson square, there are local artists that sell their artwork and fortune tellers. Also, there is a St. Louis Cathedral nearby where people can admire its beautiful architecture.
Mardi Gras is a big thing in New Orleans where people whether from New Orleans or not gather on the small streets of the city waiting for the extravagant floats to pass by as they excitedly catch their beads and enjoy the booming music coming from the high school marching bands.
An extremely big thing for New Orleans, is the Saints. Since they won the Superbowl, that Saints is a very big deal for the city and the people. As a matter of fact, there was even a Saints parade whether they won or not. Everywhere you go in New Orleans, there is always someone wearing a Saints Jersey or a who dat shirt. Even cars have saints flags or houses have banners saying "Go Saints".
A more traumatic and emotional image of New Orleans is Hurricane Katrina. Although it occur about five years ago, it is still being reflected on. Houses are still being built and some are still left abandoned. There are even tours that focus on the effects of Hurricane Katrina.
The last two images of New Orleans is jazz and food. In the city of New Orleans, you will always see a random person playing jazz. Usually they are found in Jackson square or sometimes I even find them near the aquarium. The famous jazz player of New Orleans is Louis Armstrong.
A big part of New Orleans is their food. New Orleans has cheap seafood where you can buy a pound of crawfish for just three bucks. Besides its seafood, there are different types of food here such as Cajun food and Creole food that it is unlikely you will find it outside of New Orleans.
