New Orleans Interesting Facts
You cannot escape music in this city. It comes out of bar doors, car windows, and even random street corners. Jazz was born here, and it’s still throwing a party every day.
Louis Armstrong isn’t just a statue. He’s a vibe. The city named the airport after him, but locals still call it “Moissant.” Try saying that three times fast after a Sazerac.
And here’s a weird one: the city has a law against playing the trumpet while drunk. Ha! Good luck enforcing that on Bourbon Street.
You Can Get a Frozen Drink 24/7
New Orleans has “go-cups.” It’s exactly what you think—a plastic cup for booze you can take to go. You grab a daiquiri at 9:00 AM and nobody bats an eye. Nobody.
The best part? Daiquiri shops are drive-thrus. Yes, you can get a frozen margarita without leaving your car. I’m not saying that’s a good idea, but I’m not saying it’s not.
Remember: the open container law only applies to glass. So you can walk down the street with a plastic cup of wine. It’s like a cheat code for life.
