I Hate New Orleans
in June, July, August and September. February is not so bad.
I can deal with ovens. (This is my first time spoofing another thread!) But it is how I misread the OP.

Get off my lawn!

Try Savanna, GA in August. One day the heat index was 135! It was hard to breath, and truly felt like a sauna.

When I think of New Orleans I think of the movie "No Mercy" (1986 Richard Gere - Kim Basinger).

Been there in July a few times. It's brutal. But everyone needs to see it once.

My ass crack is still sweaty from the 2019 API conference there in June…
I was going to start a thread with this very topic but actually don’t hate New Orleans…

I just hate the French Quarter. I gotta say Lackland AFB in August wasn't much fun...but it was boot camp too.

 !Jazz Fest was my calling card (not really a Jazz fan), but it's just an all types of great music extravaganza also in the clubs ... but alas .... it's all corporate now too  . The French Qtr. is NOT my thing either.... but a first timer will likely think it's what Nawlins is all about .... it isn't. All of the bands from there used to hit the road during the summer months... for a reason. I love New Ovens

If I went there, sometime other than MG, could I still get some beads for my Civic's rear view mirror?

Hate is a strong word, but certainly not a fan. Unusually high concentration of poor decision makers.

^^^ read the first post.
It would have been 'I Love New Orleans' if someone didn't hate their new oven.

New Orleans. Only reason for me to go is 2-3 days of eating. I could see doing that some weekend a few years from now on the bucket list.

What?!?!

"This is like...Africa hot."
Well, this is Biloxi. I reported to my new duty station at Ingalls Shipbuilding Pascagoula Ms. in August. ...they didn't say it was going to be that hot. OMG, the humidity. Seems like all I did was sweat 24x7.

Don't drink more than five Hurricanes. That's my rule. I liked Alex Patout's restaurant before it closed in NO and the big storm took out his New Iberia location. It was especially tasty on big oil's dime. I blame my heart bypass procedure on those two restaurants. Just sayin' - not for certain.
