Starting Point: goo.gl/maps/MR... .
New Orleans is a major United States port and the largest city and metropolitan area in the state of Louisiana. The city is named after the Duke of Orleans, who reigned as Regent for Louis XV from 1715 to 1723, as it was established by French colonists and strongly influenced by their European culture. It is well known for its distinct French and Spanish Creole architecture, as well as its cross-cultural and multilingual heritage.[8] New Orleans is also famous for its cuisine, music (particularly as the birthplace of jazz),[9][10] and its annual celebrations and festivals, most notably Mardi Gras, dating to French colonial times. The city is often referred to as the "most unique"[11] in the United States.
Economy
New Orleans has one of the largest and busiest ports in the world, and metropolitan New Orleans is a center of maritime industry. The New Orleans region also accounts for a significant portion of the nation's oil refining and petrochemical production, and serves as a white-collar corporate base for onshore and offshore petroleum and natural gas production.
Tourism
New Orleans has many visitor attractions, from the world-renowned French Quarter; to St. Charles Avenue, (home of Tulane and Loyola Universities, the historic Pontchartrain Hotel, and many 19th-century mansions); to Magazine Street, with its boutique stores and antique shops. According to current travel guides, New Orleans is one of the top ten most-visited cities in the United States; 10.1 million visitors came to New Orleans in 2004.
A 2009 Travel + Leisure poll of "America's Favorite Cities" ranked New Orleans first in ten categories, the most first-place rankings of the 30 cities included. According to the poll, New Orleans is the best U.S. city as a spring break destination and for "wild weekends", stylish boutique hotels, cocktail hours, singles/bar scenes, live music/concerts and bands, antique and vintage shops, cafés/coffee bars, neighborhood restaurants, and people watching.
The French Quarter (known locally as "the Quarter" or Vieux Carré), which was the colonial-era city and is bounded by the Mississippi River, Rampart Street, Canal Street, and Esplanade Avenue, contains many popular hotels, bars, and nightclubs. Notable tourist attractions in the Quarter include Bourbon Street, Jackson Square, St. Louis Cathedral, the French Market (including Café du Monde, famous for café au lait and beignets), and Preservation Hall.
Entertainment and Performing Arts
The New Orleans area is home to numerous celebrations, the most popular of which is Carnival, often referred to as Mardi Gras. Carnival officially begins on the Feast of the Epiphany, also known as the "Twelfth Night". Mardi Gras (French for "Fat Tuesday"), the final and grandest day of festivities, is the last Tuesday before the Catholic liturgical season of Lent, which commences on Ash Wednesday.
Food
New Orleans is world-famous for its food. The indigenous cuisine is distinctive and influential. From centuries of amalgamation of the local Creole, haute Creole, and New Orleans French cuisines, New Orleans food has developed. Local ingredients, French, Spanish, Italian, African, Native American, Cajun, Chinese, and a hint of Cuban traditions combine to produce a truly unique and easily recognizable Louisiana flavor.
Sports
New Orleans' professional sports teams include the 2009 Super Bowl XLIV champion New Orleans Saints (NFL), the New Orleans Pelicans (NBA), and the New Orleans Zephyrs (PCL). The Mercedes-Benz Superdome is the home of the Saints, the Sugar Bowl, and other prominent events. Each year New Orleans plays host to the Sugar Bowl, the New Orleans Bowl and the Zurich Classic, a golf tournament on the PGA Tour. In addition, it has often hosted major sporting events that have no permanent home, such as the Super Bowl, ArenaBowl, NBA All-Star Game, BCS National Championship Game, and the NCAA Final Four. The Rock ‘n’ Roll Mardi Gras Marathon and the Crescent City Classic are two road running events held annually in the city.
Streetcars
New Orleans has four active streetcar lines:
St. Charles Streetcar Line
Riverfront Streetcar Line
Canal Streetcar Line
Loyola-UPT Streetcar Line

J Utah great stuff. How about Mardi Gras New Years Eve. Keep it up your doing great. Also Labor Day is called decadent weekend. Might not be able to show that one.
Salor
How about breathing some jazz stuff ??
Gorgeous city.
Great. I'm from Los Angeles and Pomona California. I love the way you take us to trip of almost every
other cities. Seems like almost African Americans is spreading all over every country I guess. It's
so amazing.
I hope the bus drives are not mean and nasty to peoples who have ride bus. I am praying 🙏 the bus drivers will get the Lord in there life
Have never been to the US before but watching this video it really reminds me of the cities here in Brazil! Lots of trees, the way the streets are, the sunny weather., different types of people, the architeture...
Man i miss New Orleans. No place else like it the atmosphere, people, culture, and food. Got to make it back soon. Time for a Winn Dixie run.
it's like driving threw a city in the Caribbean
Black Cherubim lol
Is no common see tall tower in the Caribbean country😹
Don't be such a silly bitch. If JB thinks it reminds him of some city in the West Indies then let it. In some ways New Orleans DOES look a bit like Havana or Santo Domingo or San Juan. Same people built all four.....psst… the Spanish!
@Jay B New Orleans is referred to as the most northern city in the Caribbean and we have a large Caribbean community, especially Haitian
Jay B: I feel like it looks like it could easily pass for somewhere in Europe, like maybe Spain. Some of the palm trees also look like palm trees in the Middle East.
Bonjour ! Hi ,merci beaucoup ,thank you so much ! i'm french canadian ,i live in Montreal ,Quebec ,i apprecIate the ride in french quartier ,i went in Louisiana 40 years ago but i cannot stop in new orlean and i like to see today what it look like ,and i like to see so many french name of the street ,Iberville ,Ursulines ,Dauphine ,Bienville ,Esplanade ave ,Toulouse . All vestige of France heritage . thank again .
Yes go back , stay in Garden City is cheaper and can walk to French Quarter. We met 2 girls from Quebec City last trip and they having a gay old time . Some people still speak french down there. 40 years is a long time ago. Greetings from Ontario.
At least 80% of ppl speak French here in Vermilion parish not sure about New Orleans most left after the storm.
Looks like parts of Montreal east of boulevard. St laurent.. I know I lived there 30yrs.
Yeah this place is basically a mini piece of France just with a few changes lol
New Orleans such a beautiful city indeed.
Along with Boston, New Orleans is one of the most beautiful city in the US. Gorgeous baroque buildings on the front side of street at. 09.14! Great vid. bro!
Absolutely agree, those are 2 of my top 3 favourite American cities. Sometimes I really wish I was there, and videos like this help.
lol, Boston? That not a city you hear mentioned much when you think of "beautiful." I'd think of San Diego, Denver, Austin, Seattle, etc.
Seattle is a beautiful city, best on the west coast. Unfortunately when I was there in fall of 2017, there were a lot of people sleeping in cars and on sidewalks right in the touristy areas. The spectacle of rampant human misery is very sad and tends to detract from the overall beauty of the place.
too many prejudice white poeple in Boston
I've never heard anyone say that about Boston. Interesting.
Jazz, food, retro, sunshine...beautiful city-!
New Orleans is awesome
Evidemment c'est nous qui l'avons bâtie..... (je plaisante)
Amazed. Such a gorgeous city!
Greetings from Dallas, Texas👍
I live here.
...
Why am I watching this?!
😂
Greetings from Brazil.
Gorgeous city indeed!
Rahmstation I drive down here everyday and have no idea why I’m watching this 😂
Me to but I'm near New Orleans
Is there any good paying welding jobs there because I been thinking a lot about moving from Detroit to New Orleans to start a new life
Jimmy Kulinski Yes there are a lot of high paying welding jobs down here. You should definitely consider moving here if welding is your skill set
thanks for the memories. ..I was born in new Orleans. ..but my family and I left just the year when the city was going to build the superdome. ....glad to see home.
Yours have to be the best driving videos on youtube. We are enjoying them so very much. Keep up the excellent work.
Mardi Gras starts this weekend. Bring on the jazz. Love this town.
Been wanting to go to Jazz Fest for a while now. Great city!
I freaking love jazz, nothing brings me more effing joy than trumpets right up against my face
Feels sunny here. Cheerful. I wouldn't move there though. Miami still remains for me THE city!
Just riding around with you and listening to my music. Very nice rides. Thanks for taking me along. Being disabled these videos let me see the places I can't go to anymore. Sure miss it. Tyvm Safe travels ahead. God bless.
I just have the biggest smile in my face....you've brought me back home....I know these streets like the back of my hand....thank you for filming this!!! 😍😍😍
Wow, what a TREAT!! The video is so clear and bright, it's almost like actually driving through the area!! I've never been to New Orleans, but I've been to Paris, France, and I can see the influence of the architecture. SPLENDID!! Thanks so much for sharing this!
Many French Know New Orleans as
*Notre petite colonie Louisianaise*
Paris is the Mother of New Orleans, we take after her Greatly
New Orleans and Paris have close ties
During Katrina, France Helped us, And during our Tricentinal I believe Some French Officials had visited the Former French Colony
New Orleans loves France her mother country with all her heart
We "Creole" Orleanians cried during the Louisiana purchase
Viva la Francaise Louisianaise
⚜🇫🇷⚜🇫🇷⚜🇫🇷⚜🇫🇷⚜
I loved this long tour and of course, I watched the whole thing. I actually prefer the longer videos. Thanks for posting these! I watch all of them, as I love exploring big cities and you always pick interesting, lively streets. Keep up the good work!
if you haven't been to New Orleans please go awesome city
You have no idea how much I needed to see this video even though it made me cry all night. I have been trapped in Arizona for 2-1/2 years and absolutely hate the desert. I don't have any way back to Louisiana though. I kept mentally begging you to go down Chartres so I could see my old apartment (which faces the Royal Orleans parking garage) but you didn't. You could have gotten a good shot of the Square at the point where you have to turn off Chartres - or on Decateur for that matter. Also, after you passed Tujagues, I kept singing "The 12 Yats of Christmas" all night, which just made me cry even more. And what about getting shots of the original Pelly Thomas streetcars on St. Charles? You need to drive through the Garden District, and Esplanade or Elysian Fields, and post that.
Thank you for the trip: the most human town of the USA
I love and miss NOLA so much!
From Brazil. ❤
Thanks Fatima! Greetings from the US :D
Fatima Nascimento Eu sou da Indonesia gosto de Brazil.
To a New Orleanian you're driving in the CBD and the French Quarter! 😉
Cheers! Thanks for commenting Christopher!
Naw-luns
That's how you know the tourists amirite Vern?😎
@@jutah Its just people who have moved there since Katrina aren't aware that downtown is the French quarter side of canal St all the way to Arabi and uptown is the cbd side of canal St, the CBD isn't even downtown and to a pre Katrina resident it burns when newbies call it otherwise. I wasn't trying to upset anybody or make anybody look bad, just offering correction, hopefully the title will change or something, if you can but I get it, every other city calls their business areas downtown, we just don't in New Orleans and it was something that set us apart, be nice to keep it that way. New Orleans distinguishes itself from other places bc of small things like that.
Looks like they built back super strong after that storm...☺
The Crescent City.🌉🎭
New Orleans and Miami are different yet simular in a lot of ways, they remind me of each other. New Orleans is the most unique city I've ever been to
Facts. That’s why I love Miami.
Fantastic Video of a Fabulous City! Beautiful CBD and French Quarter drive! I love New Orleans, my hometown, my heart and miss it every day of my life. Thank you for posting this video which brought back warm and happy New Orleans feelings.
Glad you enjoyed the video! I've had some great times in New Orleans. Its a special place!!
Sometimes I miss home, but damn sure wouldn’t want to live there again....beautiful city, and extremely fun....but dysfunctional....yet, it’s an amazing place to visit, one of the best in the world.
New Orleans is living!!!
I'm obsessed with New Orleans because of the book 'Me & Lee: How I Came to Know, Love and Lose Lee Harvey Oswald'
Never realized how big the French Quarter was. I always thought it was one or two interconnected streets.
I attended college in New Orleans. It will always hold a special place in my heart.
You look like a Xavier type of girl.
@@tswagg504 really??? What makes you say that??😊
@@kiaj.d.5855 Xavier had all the smart, classy, cuties
@@tswagg504 Well thank you kindly! I did attend Xavier! 😆

Clean and nice country.
Thank you, I'm taking a ride in New Orleans!! wowwwwww!!!!!! ''THIS WILL BE THE ONLY WAY I CAN SEE NEW ORLEANS''
Oh New Orleans is very high on my wish list! :) Nice video and nice channel!
I plays gangster new Orleans and I didn't see this video and I was never visited there So it's like a dream that that the city I only see in my game becomes real
Saint Denis looks great
Dude, really need to get the car tuned. lol I enjoyed the video very much.
Great city! 👍
What kind of vehicle are you in and what type of camera/how is it mounted? I assume it mounted outside of the car since you can hear noise from engines and such, but there's no other sound like wind noise or the sound of people that are around. In my videos in New Orleans, you can hear the noise from the people from inside the closed car sometimes.
Beautyful city!
Excelente vídeo!
beautiful trees in road
one of the nicest looking city's in the usa
a great ride, thanks for sharing , awesome city !
Very beautiful
1:44 They closed that GameStop.
This begins with Canal Street, a border street of the French Quarter. You are heading from the 1200 block towards the river.
Any Las Vegas/Los Angeles driving videos coming up?
If you read this yes look it up now in 2017 if this is when your here looking at this thank me later...😏
Beautiful city!
Merci⚜🇫🇷⚜
Downtown New Orleans looks almost like Downtown Las Vegas Fremont Street Beautiful City!!!!!!!!!!
So beautiful. And in 4K. Thank you!
i am enjoying the rides J Utah,thanks mate.....
we are used to see trams.is just the same as France.I did not know they have palm trees in their streets. Watching street names there must have been a certain Napoleontic influence.i recognize the mardi gras street.very Original city.
Definitely original! Thanks for sharing your feedback :)
new orleans was where nepolion was exiled too he died there after the nepolianic wars New Orleans was founded and settled by the french in 1617 by Bienville
De Cnijf Kris Napoleans brother (who he made King of Spain) sold it to the USA?
De Cnijf Kris the trams (here street or open cars ) are unique being in only a few cities unfortunately.
They dont have street names in france?
This video must have been recorded at high noon judging by the sun, shadows, and the lack of traffic and people. I see the Clover Grill..best hamburgers in The Quarter!
Must be a nice city, very warm down there in winters, but hot af in summers
Awesome video
Great quality! What did you film this with?
Love your vids! Thank you and please go to Mexico City! Cheers!
I'm from a small town in the west of Ireland, I've never seen such a big place in all my life as this, I would love to go to American some day
I would love to go to Ireland one day. It's a beautiful country.
@@shante70sb you are more than welcome here, look me up if you ever come here

Is this Canal Street?
Correct - That is the street the video starts on. Thanks for commenting :)
J Utah Love your Driving in..........videos
Chris Draper some

Clearly New Orleans is the cultural capital of the United States.
Of Music, Food and Jazz, And High Society/Aristocratic Sophisticated Southern Culture yes
Politically is Washington DC
Tech is San Francisco
Movies are Hollywood
Industry of the South goes to Houston, Atlanta
But without further ado
Yes we are very much "One of America's Culture Capitals"
Tennessee Williams once said
America has only three cities
New York, San Francisco and New Orleans, everywhere else is Cleveland.
Goddamn beauty city
Great.
Never seen the French quarter this clean up. Nice video though!

LAWD, I MISSED MY HOMETOWN N.O (504)
чудове відео!!!!!!!
Дякую, що поділились!
і ви висилайте ще подібні відео. а ви де мешкаєте? в якій країні і з якого міста?
Bela Cidade
and the French they speak today we can still easily understand. to know: mardi gras means 'rich/fat' Tuesday just after the catholic fasten. We still have carnivals in major cities in Europe but that exists also in USA (Mobile Al.and another place I cannot remember) I think. There people fill pig blatters with air. We don't do that for hygienic reasons so th say.remarkable. In former times there was no plastic and the pig's blatter was used to make balloons and balls. Plastic and rubber came from America around 1870 I think.But rubber tires were only spread after the coe of Americans in second world war. People who want to see original carnival costumes should go to Venice Italy. Also the word carnival contains the word 'carne' which means meat in southern European country languages... a revival of the meat because people could not eat meat during fasten. and all those things...
Interesting customs. Did not think about the word carnival like that before! Thanks for sharing :)
De Cnijf Kris fasten = Lent, yes?
Hell yeah
Why the cameras (shoting) just the front of the road only, do not want to shoting left and right direction of the surrounding nature ?
This is what a modern Saint Denis would look like. If you know enough RDR2, you'd understand.
Who is the statue in reference to or who is the guy? Is it Marquis De Lafayette or Lafite?
Nice
Gusto kong tumira dito. 🙂
Please is this before or after Hurricane Katrina.
In other words does this look like today.
Linda Willis yes it still looks this way. This part didn't get hit very bad . Most of the city is back and running.
Bienvenue New Orléans
I used to visit a website named USA SMALL TOWN GEMS filled with beautiful pictures... But they cancel it due to money shortage for server... Does anyone know any similar site...
Are their pubs there that you can just go in and have a few pints?
There are pubs everywhere in this area!
Looks a little bit like Vegas with those palm trees. Annoying red lights.
Like to see a place called Seekonk,Mass....
