New Orleans is the most populous city in Louisiana and one of America's most culturally distinctive cities, home to approximately 380,000 city residents and 1.3 million in the metro area. It operates on Central Time (CST/CDT). New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz music — the uniquely American art form that grew from a fusion of African, European, and Caribbean musical traditions in the city's uniquely diverse cultural melting pot at the turn of the 20th century. The French Quarter (Vieux Carré), established in 1718, is the oldest neighbourhood in the city and hosts Bourbon Street, one of America's most famous entertainment streets. Mardi Gras, the annual pre-Lenten carnival, draws over one million visitors and is one of the world's largest street festivals. New Orleans cuisine — Creole and Cajun traditions featuring gumbo, jambalaya, beignets, and po'boys — is one of America's most original and celebrated regional food cultures. The Port of South Louisiana, serving the wider New Orleans area, is the largest port by tonnage in the Western Hemisphere.
