Tourist Who Knows Too Much

You don't live here—yet—but you know things. You have strong opinions about which neighborhood has the best music, where to get a proper muffuletta, and why people who only go to Bourbon Street are missing the point. Locals eye you with suspicion because you know too much for a visitor. You've done your research, paid your respects, and earned the right to have preferences. The question isn't whether you love New Orleans—it's when you're finally going to make it official.
