GNO, Inc. Sunday Night Highlight – NOLA Top 5 Big City in the USA

In Conde Nast Traveler’s 37th annual Readers’ Choice Awards, New Orleans was ranked the #4 Big City in the United States.

Writes Conde Nast:
“It’s easy to experience New Orleans through its most popular attractions: Mardi Gras and Bourbon Street, Cafe du Monde (which is great, don’t get us wrong), and Preservation Hall jazz (also fantastic). But there’s so much more to this soulful city. Its Creole, Cajun, and French roots inform everything from the music on Frenchman Street to the food and cocktails in the French Quarter over to the Bywater. It’s also worth exploring the revitalized Warehouse District, home to the city’s Ace Hotel, where you could easily stumble on half a dozen excellent galleries all within a few blocks’ radius, or spend a whole day in contemplation at the National WWII Museum.”

To develop the ranking, more than 575,000 Condé Nast Traveler readers across the United States submitted responses rating their travel experiences across the globe to offer a comprehensive look at the places they eagerly anticipate revisiting.
