New Orleans' vibrancy and bar/restaurant excitement focuses primarily on the French Quarter, and not downtown.
KC has a great pretty vibrant downtown, compared to New Orleans more corporate one overall, I think. |

The Quarter is the actual downtown. Not the CBD, that's an Uptown neighborhood historically. But the CBD is now considered part of downtown (since about 20-40 years ago) so that's even more restaurants and bars. The Warehouse District isn't corporate and is full of newer restaurants opening up. The warehouse district has about 30-40 restaurants alone. Then you have the CBD, then the Quarter.
New Orleans and corporate are not words you often see together. |

Yea New Orleans has been seeming to focus on tourism rather than corporations since katrina, a lot of the corporate growth along the gulf coast has been going to Houston or Mobile-Pensacola area |

That happened in the 60s and again in the 80s after the oil boom. They all moved to Houston. I don't know if its true that Mobile has outpaced New Orleans on that front. |
