Travel + Leisure does its annual best cities ranking
Posted by Kevin Allman @NOLAKevin on Thu, Jan 20, 2011 at 5:55 PM
Not so hot: Our rankings as a family vacation destination (No. 33 of 35); as "athletic/active" (No. 34, only beating Memphis, Tenn.) and — uh — cleanliness. Don't tell Sidney Torres, but residents rated us at No. 31, while visitors put us dead last in the nation when it came to cleanliness. (But we have giant wheeled trash cans now! And lemony-fresh scent to disguise the stench of rotting crawfish carcasses!) And we came in only at No. 4 in the category of "big-name restaurants" — New York was No. 1 (sure), Las Vegas was No. 2 (celebrity chef mania at work) and Chicago was No. 3 (huh?).
We did score No. 1 in overall food and dining among visitors, which is great, and No. 2 in "ethnic restaurants," just below New York ... which raises the question of whether America thinks Creole, Louisiana, and soul cuisine is "ethnic" food. (Probably.)
