+This graticule is located at [[29,-90]]. It contains southwestern New Orleans.
-New Orleans is split among 4 [[graticule|graticules]] [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=30&long=-90&zoom=9 NW (30,-90)] [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=30&long=-89&zoom=9 NE (30,-89)] [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=29&long=-90&zoom=9 SW (29,-90)] [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=29&long=-89&zoom=9 SE (29,-89)]. Because all 4 graticules contain large amounts of water (Lake Pontchartrain and the Gulf of Mexico), whenever it comes time to choose a location suitable for meeting, the closest to New Orleans that is not located in a body of water should be chosen.

-== Alternative Meeting Points ==
-Because New Orleans is a [http://wiki.xkcd.com/geohashing/Category:Split_Cities Split City] and is surrounded by water and swamp, an alternative meeting point may be useful for most meet ups.  Use this [http://geohashing.electronicwar.net/ Alternative Meeting Point Implementation] and specify "New Orleans, LA" for the location.  This should provide a location that is at least on land, and near to the actual geohash point.
-Alternative meeting points may also include bars, parks or other interesting locations around New Orleans.  Please suggest alternatives here:
