People tend to make certain assumptions about places they've never been to based off of the things they've heard from others, articles they've read, or simply the nicknames ascribed to those places. For example, most people who have never been to Chicago but are familiar with it being called "The Windy City" aren't aware that the origin of that name had more to do with the city's politicians being 'full of hot air' than the city itself being really windy. However, for those who have visited Chicago during the winter months you might feel that referring to it as "The Windy City" is perfectly apt; maybe you've gone to a Bears game in December and sat in Soldier Field losing sensation in fingers and toes, or maybe you've tried to stroll down the Magnificent Mile in January or February and become acquainted with the gusts of cold air that seem to penetrate down to your core. Chicagoans have a name for their wind "The Hawk" - and politicians aside there must be something to Chicago and its wind as well. With stereotypes, things can very well not be what they seem but then there are times when there's concurrently truth in them as well. New Orleans is a perfect example of this sort of dichotomy. For a great many of the people who have never been to New Orleans the hearsay revolves around Bourbon Street -- the famous, or infamous, bar and strip club riddled street, and Mardi Gras '" the decadent carnival season which focuses on indulgence just prior to sacrifices about to be made in honor of the Lenten season. And yes, New Orleans is about Bourbon Street and Mardi Gras but there's also oh, so much more. There are people who visit New Orleans only for these two things. They don't eat in any of the world-class restaurants, they don't visit any of the museums or galleries that can hold their own aside major metropolitan cities known for their culture like New York or Chicago. They don't take in the unique architecture or the impressively extensive history. Of course, any tourism is a positive thing for a city or town; and for New Orleans this is especially important because despite the fact that Hurricane Katrina struck more than five years ago the city is still trying to recover. And of course New Orleans will continue to drawn the tourists who only want to party and that's fine '" but it's also unfortunate that that's then what is passed on from ear to ear. In a survey of a small group of friends '" some of which have been to New Orleans and some that haven't '" they stated what their first impressions are when someone mentions "New Orleans" to them -- "A wild and crazy place," "Drinking and dancing," "Mardi Gras," "Boobies, beads, and alcohol" were just some of the identifications made by the people who have not yet been to New Orleans. But for those who have visited the Big Easy, the responses were a bit more diverse: "The Saints," "Amazing food," "Masks and colors," "Beignets and cafe au lait," "History," "Anne Rice," Cemeteries," "Riverboats," "Music," "Voodoo and vampires," "Jazz," and "Hot weather." For the 20-something year-old college student who tells her mother, "Oh, you wouldn't like New Orleans," or the businessman who comments: "I'm not all that impressed with New Orleans," one might wonder if either of these people paid attention to anything other than what they saw and did on Bourbon Street while visiting the city. So who would enjoy visiting New Orleans, and why? Let's see -- Museum goers -- New Orleans itself is a history lesson that you can walk through. Take a stroll through the French Quarter and one can easily forget which decade or even which century they belong to. The city's array of museums, large and small, punctuate this. There's The National World War II Museum, the American Italian Renaissance Foundation's Museum & Library, the Amistad Research Center, The Cabildo and The Presbytere, the Historic New Orleans Collection, Louisiana's Civil War Museum, The New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park, the Old U.S. Mint, The Backstreet Cultural Museum, the Pharmacy Museum, Tulane Museum of Natural History, New Orleans African American Museum, Old Ursuline Convent, The 1850 House, Beauregard-Keyes House, The Edgar Degas House, Gallier House, Hermann Grima House, and the Musee Conti Wax Museum -- just to name a few. Food and wine enthusiasts -- New Orleans is gastronomic-Nirvana. Good food in New Orleans is as abundant as the heat. If all one wants to do is dine at amazing restaurants, then that's easy as can be; but there's even more to be had for the foodies who might come in through the Big Easy as well. For example: the Southern Food and Beverage Museum, Tales of the Cocktail, The New Orleans School of Cooking, New Orleans Cooking Experience, and the New Orleans Wine and Food Experience, the French Quarter Wine Festival, the New Orleans Seafood Festival, the Crescent City Blues & BBQ Festival, Po-Boy Fest, the Treme Creole Gumbo Festival, the Louisiana Oyster Jubilee, and much, much more.

Music lovers -- It's simply not possible to make a list of every great place to hear music in New Orleans. Music is as much a part of New Orleans as the Mississippi River.

Italy isn't the only place to take a gondola ride either, you can do that in New Orleans with your sweetie as well. Volun-Tourism -- If you want to visit an amazing place but make a difference while you're there then the Big Easy is for you.

Or maybe just a tarot, palm, or tea leaf reading is more your spooky style. Now that's just a few groups and points of intererst; to try to list off every type of person that can visit and appreciate New Orleans would take a very, very long time. New Orleans is considered a small city in contrast to the likes of a Los Angeles or Miami, but it packs a punch when it comes to its culture and diversity. If you ever find yourself on Bourbon Street and have the random thought that 'you're not all that impressed with New Orleans' then please make your way on to another street, get yourself a po boy for lunch and then start to explore all of the other things that this amazing city has to offer.
