New Orleans, Louisiana is located on the Mississippi River about 110 miles upstream from the Gulf of Mexico on the southern shore of Lake Pontchartrain.
The City was named Nouvelle Orleans (New Orleans) in honor of Philippe II, Duc d'Orleans, the regent of France under French King Louis XV. |

New Orleans seduces with Caribbean colour and waves of sultry Southern heat. Enshrouding us in dreams and ancient melodies, its sweet-tasting cocktails are laced with voodoo potions. The unofficial state motto, laissez les bons temps rouler ('let the good times roll'), pretty much says it all.
Called by some 'The City That Care Forgot,' New Orleans has a well-earned reputation for excess and debauchery. It's a cultural gumbo of African, Indian, Cajun and Creole influences. Whether you're looking for history, drama and intrigue or just a damn good boogie in the street, New Orleans is it.

New Orleans is a city that is rich in the history of dining and drinking. Did you know that the first cocktail, the Sazerac, was invented in New Orleans? So were Peychaud's Bitters, Herbsaint, the Ramos Gin Fizz, the Grasshopper and the Hurricane.
But brunch was also invented in the city that loves to eat! And where would this city be without gumbo, crawfish etouffee and the po-boy?
