Situated at the mouth of the mighty Mississippi River, the city of New Orleans is the largest city in Louisiana, with an urban population of nearly 350,000 people but anchoring a larger metro of just over 1 million.

Jazz, Dixieland and zydeco are commonly heard echoing through the streets, both from the street buskers and the local venues. The city is also noted for its pride in its NFL team the New Orleans Saints, whose 2009 Superbowl win provided a huge morale boost for residents still recovering from Hurricane Katrina a few years earlier.
