During the cold war, travel between the USA & the USSR was very restricted. Only a few highly placed Soviets were even allowed to leave their country, let alone visit the USA. And, once they got here, the restrictions continued, as shown on this map from the Rockefeller Archive Center (via Slate).
I don't understand the reasoning behind some of the off-limits areas, but who ever said these things had to be logical? Maybe they just didn't want visitors to have too much fun in New Orleans and not want to come back.
