If you can’t have a good time in NOLA, then that’s a personal problem

Baltimore is ranked ahead of Prague


Lol. Saw this too. Baltimore is great for an O’s game and dinner on the Port. But there are so much cooler stuff to do in Praha.

like visiting WestWorld


I find this a very appropriate comparison. The key differences are that in Westworld you can understand your assailant, and his weapons are antiquated.

NYT makes a point of saying all the obvious destinations are removed from the list, like London, Paris, and Tokyo among others. So NOLA didn’t beat out as many cities as you’d expect from being ranked number 1

I have to agree and I'm from Baton Rouge up the street.

I haven't visited some of the major international cities but No city evokes that mystique and intrigue and just a general feel good vibe like New Orleans. Even Vegas and NYC are contrived like you're supposed to feel good when you descend into those cities. New Orleans has a much more organic feeling of "yea dis gone be fun" as well scratching the itch for the more cultured appreciations like food,history,architecture.

Colombia looks fricking BEAUTIFUL in Narcos. NO LIE.

New Orleans: Come for the food, stay because you were murdered.

I am most impressed by the beautiful article from NY Times. This makes me want to visit all of these places. But not Nola.

It was pretty awesome visually.

I want to be the person whose job is to visit all of these places in 2018.

If I can skip Branson and Disney.

No thanks. I'll stick with living and visiting Charleston, Nashville, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Austin, Seattle, and so forth.
