Comparative Essay On New Orleans

Growing up more than half of my life in New Orleans, Louisiana and then moving to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I find that the distance of the two cities is so close. Baton Rouge is far behind New Orleans in many ways. Although there are some features of the two cities that are alike, there’s an abundance of differences.

For Instance, in New Orleans the food is full of soul. It’s compared to country food because of its fatty, tasteful, and very unhealthy, but it taste so good. A better word for it is Soul Food. Pickled Pork Tails and Tips are the most popular meats used to cook various meals in New Orleans such as Red Beans, Cabbage, etc. As far as music New Orleans is known for its traditional Jazz music.

One reason being is that they are more family oriented. Their priorities are lines up because they are not too much as worrying about partying because of the limited opportunity and they are not trying to keep up with the next person. Therefore, Baton Rouge people can spend more of their money on something that’s important other than the typical New Orleans
