About New Orleans

New Orleans, on the Mississippi River in Louisiana, is famous as the birthplace of jazz and for Mardi Gras, Creole and Cajun cooking and the historic French Quarter. Its port is one of the most important in the United States, and tourism, music and festivals keep visitors arriving all year.

The city is on Central Time: UTC-6 in winter (CST) and UTC-5 in summer (CDT), when clocks go forward. New Orleans shares its time with Chicago, Houston and Dallas, and is one hour behind New York and two hours ahead of Los Angeles. For many live music venues the evening programme starts late, so a local clock is handy for planning a night out.
