Things to do in New Orleans

New Orleans is unlike any other American city, shaped by French, Spanish, African, Caribbean and Creole influences that show up in its architecture, its music and above all its food. Tourism and conventions are central to the economy, but so are the Port of New Orleans, the energy companies that run offshore operations in the Gulf, shipbuilding, Tulane University and a large healthcare sector led by Ochsner Health. The city’s calendar is packed with festivals, from Mardi Gras and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival to major sporting events at the Caesars Superdome.
