NEW ORLEANS, LA -A horse drawn carried gives a guided tour in the French Quarter in New Orleans, Friday, Nov. 11, 2011. While most of the nation is in a post-Thanksgiving turkey coma, interests in New Orleans' key industry, tourism, are giddy over the start of a run of major tourism events that should keep the city's hotels, restaurants and other tourism businesses fat and happy well into 2012. Starting with this weekend's Bayou Classic football game between Southern and Grambling State, the city will play host to three major football bowl games, including the BCS national championship, the NCAA Final Four basketball tournament, Mardi Gras, a PGA golf tournament and the globally popular Jazz Fest. Then there's the usual drama with the New Orleans Saints, who appear poised for a run at the NFL playoffs. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert)
