I wouldn't put Miami above New Orleans at all.

You put New Orleans over DC the nations capital. So I wouldn't take to your opinion or judgement either.

But to non-Americans?

I would say some dude in Venezuela or gal in Russia would be somewhat more familiar with Miami than New Orleans.

I would imagine New Orleans is the more iconic, romanticized, and more desired destination than DC. I can't imagine people from certain parts of the world know anything about DC outside of the White House and monuments. It's not like DC is New York or has the flair of Miami. I can't tell you how many people I've met that fell in love with NOLA after one visit or people coming and never leaving. I can't imagine DC has that draw, people move to DC for QOL and jobs more than anything.

I wouldn't. I would always put them right next to each other in that category. Remember New Orleans has history with the Caribbean and Latin America so that helps. I'm sure a guy from Medellin will be more familiar with Miami, but when it comes to other places I'd say it's a draw.

You're thinking domestically. The op stated internationally.... DC is more known internationally than New Orleans. People fall inlove with DC aswell, with it's historic beauty and amentities.

Btw Miami is also more known than New Orleans but by the looks of your comments I can tell you're a homer and that you live in New Orleans so you will make any argument valid or not to prove your point

If we're talking internationally:

NY
LA
Chicago
DC (it is our nations capital)

That is it. For fun and vacation recognition I guess Las Vegas and Miami
