10 Reasons Why New Orleans Is Underrated

People in the rest of the country tend to think that New Orleans is nothing but a party town. We know better. Our city has a rich history of diversity and resilience. Here are 10 reasons why New Orleans is underrated.

1. New Orleans is laid-back. We don't take ourselves too seriously here, and we can't think of a better way to spend the afternoon than at the fishing hole.

2. Speaking of fish, our Audubon Aquarium of Americas is simply jaw-dropping.

4. We have the most diverse, and most flavorful food in the country.

5. Not only do we have the best jazz music, we bring our tunes right out into the streets.

6. But when we're ready for some peace and quiet, it's easy to find at Audubon Park.

7. You can't beat New Orleans for history and architecture.

8. We have the best public transit. Who needs boring buses when we have historic trolleys?

9. Our history is rich...and old. 1718 was a long time ago!

10. We're strong, resilient and beautiful. We've pretty much been through it all - from floods to hurricanes - and we're still here.

What are some more things about New Orleans that just can’t be beat?

We can’t imagine ever leaving, but if you’re crazy enough to live elsewhere, here are 9 things you’ll miss.
