Peter my husband worked in a Nuclear Power Plant in New Orleans in 1979 . Louisiana, had plenty of work in the Electrical Industry so we lived there for one year. In our opinion New Orleans has very hospitable and welcoming people, we never felt as outsiders being New Yorkers. We experienced Mardi Gras unfortunately not in New Orleans at that time the police were on strike and only The city of Gretna,La. had the Mardi Gras celebration and I will tell you it gets pretty crazy at least in 1979 did. However,we enjoyed the experience at that time. Bourbon fun street ! As mater of facts I just found out that Elvis filmed a movie on this street. Interesting and creative man the tribe/shop owner, it was a pleasure to listen to. Very sad and big disaster Hurricane Katrina caused,so many lives lost ! what a big Catastrophe! We thank you for the video Peter, also thank Christopher amazing interview. You bought back some memories, as always your videos are so interesting and educational. Arrivederci!

I live in New Orleans and was raised here and it was great to watch but me being here, there is so much more to know and to see, I’m still learning and discovering each day, it is impossible to catch it in one video, it has so much history, and so many famous historical places that isn’t in this video as well. Hospitality and culture, the good and the ugly, and the food, if you come to the city you will want a budget for food, and don’t sleep on the hot plates look em up, that’s most soul cooking of Louisiana gems you can get at a time saver or corner store for 8-10.99. Most places you don’t even have to hit the restaurants because the corner store is cheaper and has family hospitality, and pass down recipes. Look for the hole in the walls always But if you want a po boy aka “poor” boy gotta go to parkway avenue for a good first timer, it’s a experience, Obama and bush showed a visit, probably some of the best po boys in the city yaheard me ⚜️ go all the way and get em dressed all love always ⚜️

Interesting, as always, Peter! Having lived and worked in New Orleans for a bit, my tour might be completely different! The food scene in New Orleans is legendary and your host barely touched on it! It’s literally one of the top culinary cities in the world! Galatoire’s, Commander’s Palace, Tujague’s, Antoine’s, all of the Brennan restaurants, Pascal’s Manale, Acme Oyster, and hundreds more! The music scene is equally legendary and not really mentioned here either. You can literally hear anything from Voodoo Swamp to High Opera within a few blocks of each other, but the funk is what New Orleans does best!

New Orleans native, now live north of Lake Pontchartrain for the past 35 yrs... A note about the 9th ward. Many houses were owned and past down through families. After owners died , no succession was done, ownership was not officially transferred. Those families who lived there had no proof of ownership of the property. Therefore they received no help from fema. They never had insurance. They lost everything. Katrina affected us all in ways that are never forgotten. I love my city but it's nothing like it used to be. I carry our culture of New Orleans forever in my heart, we are so much more than Mardi Gras and jazz fest. Great job Peter. ❤❤

Swede here. New Orleans remains my absolute favorite city after visiting it in the mid 90's during a backpacking Amtrak "loop-de-loop" US. I would love to come back and have such a splendid guide like Christopher. I just love it. The then mixed with the now, the when and the how. The scent, the sounds. Everything, even almost dying from food poisoning. It was a splendid few days. Thanks for letting me revisit from home. The US south is magnificent and the people are just great. So many good episodes, and new dreams of travelling to see it start sprouting.

I grew up in Lafayette and Slidell, I absolutely loved New Orleans as a kid. Im so grateful for the culture, hospitality, and food I got to be raised around. The absolute best people imaginable...and THE MUSIC! I go back every few years, including 2006 right after Katrina, and I pray NOLA will keep hanging on. If you have never been, I highly recommend the trip.

Peter, I moved down here to South Louisiana 26 years ago. I spent 22 years working in New Orleans. I had the advantage of many coworkers and friends actually from New Orleans to share the culture and teach the history and show me near every part of the city. There is a lot to take in here, so I completely understand you getting overwhelmed/confused at times. But you did great in that short time in conveying some of the city’s essence. Thanks!

What impressed me the most was Christopher's depth of knowledge about New Orleans. As someone who has lived a very transient life since I was born, I've never lived in a city long enough to get to know it this intimately. I hope you will take Christopher up on his offer to go back and allow him to guide you more in depth through other aspects of New Orleans culture. BRAVO!! My favorite episode ever!😊

I'm really enjoying this episode! While active duty Coast Guard I served two tours in N'Awlins- in the 90's and again in the mid-00's- living on Short Street just off St. Charles and later just a few doors down from Cooter Brown's. I really fell in love with the place and the people. The old architecture, the music, the festivals, Mardi Gras are just what meets the eye and ear. There were also so many groovy little markets, restaurants, pubs, and music stores that it might take a lifetime to see it all.

So many memories & flashbacks of NO in this video. Thank you. I've made many trips there due to family & still have some there. When Katrina happened, we ended up with 21 people in my home in TX & still had room. A couple of the family members relocated to Tx for a while but are now back in La., others went back as soon as they could (after a few months), but then, the elders ended up dying due to complications of the mold, and the aftermath effects. My heart still aches. I may be going back again soon and I appreciated the update to know what to expect. Safe travels. Love your podcasts.

This video of you wandering New Orleans' streets brought back a flood of memories from my childhood in the 1950s. Back then, my father, a World War II veteran, was a student at Tulane. We lived in converted military barracks that eventually became part of the university campus. Watching you explore the French Quarter, especially, reminded me of shopping trips with my grandmother. She and my grandfather, both Italian immigrants, had grown up in NOLA. The sights and smells - fresh fish, crabs, shrimp, all so vibrant and delicious - took me right back to those days. Honestly, this video had me in tears. Thank you for capturing the real beauty and spirit of that amazing city, and for reminding me of so many wonderful memories. You will clearly know and love New Orleans the way I do after this tour.
