There's an SNL skit that makes the rounds locally on social media in New Orleans. James McAvoy and Heidi Gardner poke fun at something every person who has traveled to an amazing destination is guilty of- romanticizing their trip and trying to bring a little bit back home. You know: the cousin who visited Italy on summer vacation and says "ciao" for a month after returning, the couple who took a trip to the Caribbean and can't shut up about how much more relaxed the island life is... The joke of the skit is that this couple, who just returned from New Orleans are "those people"- they harp on about the relaxed, laissez-faire attitude while it becomes clear to the table that the rubes were relieved of all their possessions in an "alley" during what they wanted to believe was a Voodoo ceremony. But the best part is Kenan Thompson, repeatedly telling them he's FROM New Orleans, lived there for years, while they completely ignore him. My goal is to give folks local recommendations and history so they can have the best experience in my hometown- one of the truly great American cities.
