You didn't answer my question. Do you think people go to New Orleans and Nashville for the same reasons?

Off the top of my head, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Nashville, Miami and Key West stand out as party destinations....
The only difference (with exception for Miami/Key West beach activities) is that New Orleans has a lot of history built into it and offers a lot more than the drinking and partying.
I concede that New Orleans, along with the others, is a party destination. I think that New Orleans just offers a lot more outside of that. The others (minus beach activities), not so much.

I'm done with this. Keep enjoying your trips to NOLA spending amost of your time on Bourbon and eating at Mulattes and drinking hand grenades.

You better learn the diffence.
You should tell the New Orleans Visitors Bureau to learn the difference as well. They seem to think that traditional New Orleans food includes cajun food:
quote:
ANDOUILLE
This spiced, heavily smoked pork sausage is a key flavor in many New Orleans dishes. Originally brought to Louisiana by French colonists, today's Cajun andouille is the best-known variety in the U.S. - and the spiciest. The sausage is seasoned with salt, cracked black pepper and garlic and is smoked over pecan wood and sugar cane for up to eight hours. Andouille can be found in gumbo, jambalaya, on a po boy and served along side red beans and rice.
CRAWFISH ÉTOUFFÉE
A local favorite, crawfish étouffée could be called gumbo's spiced-up cousin. Stemming from the French word for "smothered," this thick Cajun creation employs hot spices including cayenne pepper, a mélange of onion and green pepper and hints of garlic. With loads of fresh crawfish, this tantalizing Southern treat is typically enjoyed over rice.

No you're not. You need to get in touch with the New Orleans Convention & Visitors Bureau and give them a talk about what constitutes traditional New Orleans food.

As a current resident of Houston and former resident (born and raised) of New Orleans, it's so annoying that threads about Houston always devolve into a pissing match between the two cities. Both are great cities with much to offer, and both are uniquely Southern.
The blame falls on both sides for having to measure dicks based on their city of origin or current residence. It's so stupid. Everyone needs to get over themselves.
Me to...and +1.

That means nothing to me.
There is a difference between Creole and Cajun food. What NOLA's Visitor Bureau states is irrelevant.
ETA: As I mentioned earlier, with the recent restaurant additions and Besh checking out space in The Gulch - you better brush up on it.

There's only so many ways to make a taco.

I think Nashville is well on its way to being the Austin of the South, but I don't view it as a destination along the lines of New Orleans or Miami or Vegas.
Honestly, I'd rather live in Nashville than any of those places, but that's not really what we're talking about.

Yeah, what the hell do they know about New Orleans. If only there were a place for prospective visitors to go, preferably online and created by New Orleans locals, to learn a little about traditional New Orleans food.

It's not the job of the visitor bureau to be factually correct. Their job is to draw visitors to the city; one of the ways they do this is by perpetuating and exaggerating inaccurate stereotypes. They also make it seem like Mardi Gras is year-round and half the population practices Voodoo. Both of those are inaccurate as well, but they believe constructing that perception draws visitors to the city so they continue with those media campaigns.

Texans dont season the water for a crawfish boil. They put it on after.

Are those not traditional New Orleans foods? You should get in touch with the New Orleans Convention & Visitors Bureau. Tell them to update their Traditional New Orleans Food list
But lets do a test to see if you can get on track: What is the difference between a "New Orleans Gumbo" and a "Acadian Style (Cajun) Gumbo"?

So what you're saying is that the city, on it's own merit, is so unappealing that the city's visitors bureau has to create the appearance of certain traditions that aren't endemic to the area? I'm not sure how that's a strong argument for New Orleans as a city with tourist attractions outside of partying. Especially when you admit that they create the perception of year-round Mardi Gras to attract visitors.

Walked by a crawfish boil being held in public in Houston 2 weeks ago. Saw the boiler pour in 2 huge tin cans of pineapple juice and telling people "it's the secret ingredient to great crawfish"
I almost pulled out my phone for an interview, but just walked away in disgust. Typical try hard shite in Texas when it comes to trying to replicate culture
