Why is New York called the 'City that Never Sleeps' when last call is at 4 a.m.? The pumping dance floors and packed balconies of gay nightclubs in New Orleans go to dawn and beyond, while neighborhood bars in and out of the French Quarter offer a more relaxed, intimate atmosphere. People in the Big Easy have never had a lot of patience for attitude, which helps give the LGBT nightlife scene in New Orleans its laid-back, unpretentious air. Conversations come easily, and you just never know who might cross your path on any given night.
