New Orleans from WikiPedia:
New Orleans (pronounced /nju? ??rli?nz/, /nu? ??rl?nz/, or /?n?rl?nz/ by locals, /?nu? ?r?li?nz/ by many non-locals, and in French: La Nouvelle-Orléans [lanuv?l??le??] ( listen)) is a major U.S. port and the largest city in the state of Louisiana. New Orleans is the center of the New Orleans Metropolitan Area, the largest metro area in the state.
New Orleans is located in southeastern Louisiana, straddling the Mississippi River. The boundaries of the city and Orleans Parish are the same. It is bounded by the parishes of St. Tammany (north), St. Bernard (east), Plaquemines (south) and Jefferson (south and west). Lake Pontchartrain, part of which is included in the city limits, lies to the north and Lake Borgne lies to the east.
The city is named after Philippe II, Duc d'Orléans, Regent of France, and is well known for its multicultural and multilingual heritage, cuisine, architecture, music (particularly as the birthplace of jazz), and its annual celebrations and festivals, particularly Mardi Gras. The city is often referred to as the "most unique" city in America.
