New Orleans Ranked #2 Best City in North America

New Orleans has been named the “#2 Best City in North America” by Travel + Leisure magazine.  Further, New Orleans was named #2 in the nation for dining, and #1 in the world for nightlife.

Travel + Leisure’s annual reader survey “ranked the world’s greatest cities for features such as arts, shopping, dining, and romantic ambience.”  About New Orleans, the magazine writes:  “No doubt readers loved iconic dining experiences like the oysters Rockefeller at Antoine’s or the beignets at Café du Monde, but the city’s biggest fans also know how to wander off the tourist grid for a fun evening—whether that means the free jazz clubs along Frenchmen Street or the new People’s Health New Orleans Jazz Market in Central City.”

The Top 10 Cities in North America are:

  1. Charleston, SC
  2. New Orleans, LA
  3. Mexico City, Mexico
  4. Savannah, GA
  5. Santa Fe, NM
