True, hear the food is good so have to try it.

Mostly agree!, some interesting places, but the downward spiral is getting steeper, don't mind day visits, wouldn't want to stay overnight, not on my bike anyway.

PACK!

Katrina missed a good opportunity to erase Bourbon Street.

Enjoy your trip!

Good advise

Why in the heck would you want to erase Bourbon Street? It's one of the most awesome places in the country!

If you are from Detroit you will be fine in nola. The crime is the same, most of the city is a wasteland except for the business and tourist districts. The only difference is it will be hot and humid, have good food and a jazzy atmosphere

Fat City was fun back in my party days, don't even know if it still exist.

I have no had any personal aversion to a ho. LMAO! The transvestites don't bothet me, and I don't bother them. And urine? Well, I fly the traveling American public around on a daily basis - I've smelled a lot worse. 😆
