The difference between the two is that the New Orleans italian population is Sicial, which technically is not Italalian. Sometimes, they are grouped together by people who don't understand the Italian culture.
Also, NYC has a much higher percentage per capita.
You probably would not understand this unless you were from NYC, Chicago, Boston, Philly, NJ or were italian yourself.
HaHa, but technically they are. They may show pride of Sicily before the mainland of Italy, but they are Italian. Besides that I understand that there may be a cultural difference and that such a difference also exists between the North and South regions of the Italian mainland. Therefore you can't compare the two at all because each region's products will be different.

Who cares about chain restaurants?
I mean I rather go to Angelo's over Pizza Hut, or Katz Delicatessen over Subway. In the end, no matter where you are, what is more convenient when you're on the move?
Cici's is horrible though. *Blech* I'm glad they're none (that I know of) by me.
I will also add about Atlanta the misconception that it's the most sprawled out, suburban oriented, conservative, backwards, no soul having city on the planet.
So I cant add other neighborhoods that have a suburban feel besides those two?
Geesh, thanks for making up rules as you go along.
The fact that you are getting so incredibly defensive over this is telling...
Anyone who's been to ATL knows you're right. But some people just can't take the fact that ATL is a glorifield "suburb". Even a lot of the blacks love living in the suburbs there. Where traditionally, blacks enjoy the "city' life more.
There are no real cities in the deep south. People leave their offices and head to the burbs after work down there, the density levels prove that. Imagine if the cities up north weren't constantly losing their populations like they are, their density levels would all be well over 10,000 per sq mile.

From what I know of Atlanta, this is true. That said, I don't see why people from Atlanta seem to dislike people referring to the city as being way more suburban than urban? If your city has some really cool and unique suburban neighborhoods that add a lot of flavor and culture to the city, what's the big deal? It's not like people are comparing Atlanta to Fresno, San Bernardino, or New Jersey (well parts of NJ). I don't think anyone would make that comparison.

They are VERY touchy when bring this up. They have a complex about it if you ask me. They want their big "new" homes, 2 car garages, chain restaurants and malls, yet they want to be considered "city slickers".
I really get a kick out of those people who refer to ATL as "The Mannhattan of the South". Those people are VERY dillusional to say the least.
