Louisiana. They speak a variety of French called Cajun French. However the number of speakers has been declining because of the popularity of English. Yet there have been revival attempts to bring the language back through school education.
It's also fairly common along the east coast, in places like New Jersey

The state of Louisiana is largely French-speaking, especially in the New Orleans area. In the mid-1700's, the French-speaking Acadian people were expelled from Eastern Canada because they refused to swear allegiance to the British queen. Many of them went to Louisiana, where they became known as Cajuns.
French-speaking Acadian people also live in many of the states along the north eastern coast, particularly in those closest to the Canadian border.

It varies. the common licence is 11pm, yet any weeknight you will discover extremely some places open 'til one million, and the unusual later one 'til in line with possibility 3. At weekends 3/4 is extra elementary, extremely with the nightclubs. interior the port section that's a danger to drink 24/7 in case you recognize the place to pass, besides the certainty that this is notoriously journalists who maximum use those! Admittedly this is been some years because of the fact I ever ventured right into a variety of dodgy places...

In Louisana they speak Cajun French and Creole French due to the fact that most Cajuns were displaced Acadians from Canada.

Anywhere near the Quebec border (Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine & a little corner of New York.)
Anywhere where French or French-Canadian immigrants settled in clusters especially in Lousiana and East Texas. (The area that the USA purchased from France with the Lousiana Purchase.)
"Even the name says it" - VERMONT (Green Mountains.)
