The first sign that you are a tourist is if you pronounce New Orleans as N'awlins. Locals actually pronounce the city name as New Awlins. People from other cities hear N'awlins because of the way locals drag out and connect their words. Most locals actually hate hearing people say N'awlins or New Or-Leans.

When in N'awlins you can drink beer with your breakfast and no one gives you a second look. The bartenders are friendly, the atmosphere is free and the smell of the exotic flowers blooming in the spring is intoxicating.

The way any local of the great city of New Orleans will pronounce it. If you say New Or-leans we will know you came from somewhere north of the Mason-Dixon line. And nothing will make us want to take your money faster....
