A Personal Ad to New Orleans Visitors

A personal ad in the local New Orleans newspaper (you know the one):

"When was the last time you talked to someone who lives in New Orleans?  I'm not talking about your bartender or your Uber driver. When was the last time you sat down and had an in-depth conversation with an honest-to-goodness New Orleanian?  Never?  Here's your chance.

"Walking around New Orleans, you never know what you'll find when you turn a corner.  It's the same way when you talk to someone who lives here.  A New Orleans conversation moves in unexpected and delightful directions.  

"Would you like to talk about New Orleans over a meal?  I'm your man.  I'm your man-about-New Orleans, your agent in the field.  I'm an armchair historian, an amateur philosopher, a bon vivant, your personal New Orleans goodwill ambassador, and, I am known as being a raconteur extraordinaire.  

"What do you want to know about New Orleans?  No subject is taboo.  No stranger to New Orleans culture, there are very few bars I haven't been to and there are very few local personalities, very few traditions, and very few out-of-the-way haunts I don't know of.  Discover what it means to be in love with New Orleans.

"I'll pick the restaurant.  I'll make the reservations so that we're sure to get the best table in the house, the VIP table.  You buy the meal and you pay me for my time and company.  Good memories are made in New Orleans.  Let me help you make some.  Be a New Orleanian while you are here."

I wonder who placed that ad.

Every path leads to paradise in New Orleans, Louisiana.
