Eventually I had to google it and learned to make them myself.
I miss the French Quarter.
Yes, they're called 'porches' in NO.
They're also called 'verandas' and 'stoops' . . . so just about anything goes.
NO is a bit of a melting pot, so the vernacular varies, according to the neighborhood. Back when I was growing up there (I'm now 61, so that was a good while ago), we just went with the flow.
