Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Cafe Du Monde, the French Quarter, Bourbon Street…these are the images that most people associate with New Orleans.  That is no surprise.  The city’s tourist industry, like all tourist industries, is designed to promote particular hotels, attractions, and events.  The industry’s end goal is to generate money for the local economy.  No shame in that game; however, that leaves many travelers, newcomes, and locals who want to know their city better under served.  You want to know answers to questions such as these:  Where can I find a good Internet café?  Where do the locals go for music?  Does anyone know of a local dog park?  Can you recommend a Catholic church?  I want to eat like a local—can you name a “down home” restaurant?  What events are taking place?  Are the streetcars wheelchair accessible?
