In 1860, New Orleans was the fifth largest city in the United States. As a seaport and major point of entry for the country, New Orleans always had a transient population of seamen, immigrants, and tourists, and what might be called a \"hospitality\" industry -- restaurants, theatres, operas, bars, gambling houses, and redlight establishments. This industry has always been much larger than what the resident population alone would support. The streets near the docks -- in, above, and below the French Quarter -- were lined by bars, flophouses, and clip joints. Restaurants offered foods of many cultures, as well as the distinct local cuisine -- \"Creole\" cooking. The first operas in America were performed in New Orleans in the 1790\'s, and fancy balls kept the numerous musicians fully employed. Ante-bellum New Orleans was the music capital of America. The city also boasted two particularly opulent hotels, the St. Charles and the St. Louis, whose restaurants, bars, and shops, constituted entire small cities themselves. Each took up an entire city block and could sleep and feed 1,000 guests. Visitors of all classes seemed to enjoy the luxuries, and perhaps the depravities, of the city that care forgot. Residents also enjoyed cultural and recreational opportunities far beyond what most cities of New Orleans\' size could offer.
