Some call it The Crescent City, some call it The Big Easy, and some call it N'awlins. Usually, this is a dead giveaway that these people are not from New Orleans as most New Orleanians simply call it by it's name, or NOLA for short.

Other nicknames are "The City that Care Forgot" referring to the laid back attitude of the city, "Hollywood South" since so many movies are filmed in the city, and "The Northernmost Carribean City" since some say its culture is very similar to that of carribean islands. It's all explained on Wikipedia.
