Catholicism is the most practiced religion in New Orleans
Voodoo is a popular belief system in New Orleans brought from Africa when slaves were exported to Louisiana. Many consider it to be evil or a form of witchcraft when in reality, it is a spiritual belief. Acting upon voodoo is referred to a hoodoo.
Seafood is a popular export due to the location of the city being so close to the Gulf of Mexico. Cane sugar is largely grown on plantations as well as grains and petroleum. Imports include coffee, inorganic chemicals, and rubber.
The school system is very poor with upper class sending their children to private Catholic schools as the alternative to the public school system
French or Cajun French is spoken as well as English.
I chose to use a picture of Cafe Du Monde beignet mix because that is what I think of when I think of food that tourists would want to eat. Other common foods I think of when I think of New Orleans are gumbo, jambalaya, and etouffee. If it is spicy, and has seafood, I typically feel like it is a New Orleans or Cajun dish.
Fleur de lis is a popular symbol many people think of when they think of New Orleans largely due to the football team, New Orleans Saints. I even have some as souvenirs in my home. This is actually a French symbol, and became popular in the city from the French presence in New Orlean's history.

Louis Armstrong was a popular jazz musician from New Orleans. New Orleans is often thought of as the birthplace of jazz with performers often standing on the street performing.
