New Orleans: French Quarter, bayou, the blues, southern hospitality and original cajon cooking


The jokes on you New Yorkers who think the city has everything other cities have. The most ridiculous statement I've ever heard. Even San Jose, CA is better than New York.
You know your right! Especially the part bolded.

New York does not have alot of things. Nor does any city in America. For instance, LA does not have a Space Needle like Seattle either.

So now please find the posts where New Yorkers claimed that we have a Space Needle, a New Orleans French Quarter, Transamerica Building etc.

Good Southern cooking =Atlanta.
Met the actor/critic Rex Reed about a year ago. He said that he flies down to Atlanta a couple of times a year to dine at the Colonnade; he's yet to find anything comparable in NYC.

I have worked with people in South Queens who sometimes brought in some kind of Southern food now and then. The South Shore of Queens has a large population of black Americans, many of them from the South and many from the Islands. I honestly don't remember if I ever saw a "Southern" restaurant" that only sold Southern food but I saw plenty of Carribean and Island restaurants.

Maybe, Infamous can answer this better because he used to live in South Jamaica.

That's not a fact, it's a subjective opinion. One that's fine to have, and it's great your happy in NYC, but I think this kind of thing is why New Yorkers sometimes get an image of being a bit full-of-themselves.

I'm known for getting wild and crazy at various nightclubs throughout the Eastern Seaboard. Thus Infamous + Past = Me!

qwedsr and nycricanpapi said New York has everything, and what possibly New York doesn't have other cities have. No, I don't hate New York. I like the people there since they made it pleasant for me when the city was so bad at that time. I just out to said the record straight that New York, ofcourse, doen't have everything other cities have, but that is ok. I like New York for its energy, people and buildings. I also like Washington sq. park in Grenwich Village/Soho. Little Itali is alright but no longer authentic like in years past.
