New Orleanians just HATE it when out of town individuals post erroneous information about our city, the visuals don't match up with the narration, some streets names are mispronounced as well as names of foods etc. Any information about New Orleans should be produced by New Orleanians only! ⚜️⚜️⚜️
I really do not like the narrative on the plantation. That was a place of suffering, bloodshed, and you talk about it like it's Disney freakin' land...be respectful of those "enslaved individuals." 😢
Its not about glorifying it. It's important to keep these places around to visit so people learn from history. It's much different to visit than read about in a history book. Same with concentration camps in Germany- survivors actually wanted the camps to be preserved for visitors because they didn't want anyone to forget and for history to repeat itself. @@miarobinson968
@@miarobinson968it’s literal history. Even if you don’t like it, slavery played a part in shaping the region, the resilience of the people there and the current culture. Personally, I love the plantations that have kept the actual history intact. The slave houses, blacksmith shops and slave kitchens have the visual ability to show people alive today, who have never been or owned a slave, what life was really like then. It’s a visual of what they went through. Why would you deny people to see that? It’s living history. It tells the story in a way pictures in a book never could.
@@hardtogetnamehere There’s a difference between respecting history and glorifying the past. Have you ever heard of a wedding happening at Auschwitz’s?? No, because German culture doesn’t glorify their shameful past the way Americans do.
I noticed that too, along with them being referenced as "workers." Like yall just gone skip over that fact that they were forced to work for free. Along with tons of other sickening facts of theie daily lives.
One nice book that helped me a lot in my traveling to New Orleans was "Exploring New Orleans Like A Native" by Brandy Cole, I got that superb book on Amazon. I would have been lost without that book Thanks to that dude❤
For those who have visited New Orleans multiple times, what keeps you coming back? Any hidden gems or favorite spots that you always make sure to revisit?
The entire area is so charming. I go every few months . The vibe of the city keeps me returning. It is like a second home in a so comfortable in. Do my normal /favorite things and mix in something new every trip
The French Quarter is heavily patrolled by police and has a strong tourist presence, making it relatively safe. However, be cautious in less crowded areas, especially late at night. Central Business District is another popular area for tourists, with many hotels and restaurants. It's generally safe, especially during the day when there are more people around. My personal favorite hotel is The Monteleone Hotel located in the heart of the French Quarter, love to visit the famous Carousel Bar after a day around town. My second pick would be the Hyatt Regency in the Business District right next to the Superdome.
