Howdy everyone. I'm heading to New Orleans for five days or so at the end of this month. I'm doing my own research on places and things to do, but personal experiences are always better.

Bars to visit, good places to eat, places where I can make it rain on some hoes. Stories about your horrible and savage drunk adventures are also welcome! I will be in the Quarter.

I've heard that people in NO aren't too fond of rain. Might want to find something else to do with the hos.

I would've gone to New Orleans when I was in USA in 2005. Unfortunately they had some problems with a hurricane at that time :-(

I spent some time there working. We didn't get too much time to go out (we were on the other side of the bridge) but I didn't really like the French Quarter when I was down there. There were a few nice karaoke bars but mostly it was a dirty mess, including the women.

I'll try to remember some of the names of the nicer places we went to there, though.

Eat at Emeril's Del Monaco. It's reasonably priced and really quite good.

good places to eat: Jacquimo's for fancy dinners

voodoo barbecue for amazing cheap meals.

Lots of good bars downtown and uptown. Really can't go wrong with walking around, just avoid the ninth ward.

I live in New Orleans. Honestly if you want the most fun you'll need a lot of money for places to eat and drinks to consume. You can walk all over the french quarter and find good food almost anywhere. If you want expense food you can try out Restaurant August near the quarter. You'll probably want to do some of the big touristy stuff. Grab some beignets at Cafe du Monde on Decatur (and I love the frozen coffee but its not famous), get a hand grenade at a tropical isle on bourbon an alcoholic drink that is mostly everclear and comes in a green plastic grenade with a cylinder tube attached to the top (warning: will probably get you really drunk if you're not a drinker--but you should have one regardless =]), also get a hurricane at pat-o-brians (a rum drink) on bourbon. The bars are all to your preference throughout all the quarter. Most of the tourists stay along bourbon street, and yes its very very dirty. The street is cleaned up every night at around 4-5am though so don't be too concerned with your health. That being said feel free to go crazy like everyone else, just don't hurt anyone. You're welcome to hang out in the quarter all night and drink to your content. The police don't like people who carry glass containers though because they are worried about you breaking the bottle (they might ask you to throw it away). You can walk anywhere you want and unless you're a girl who is smoking hot and wearing nothing but skanky clothing made of $100 dollar bills you'll probably be fine as long as at night you stay in the quarter. As a rough guideline id say dont go too much farther past the east side of elysian fields (the street), as far as your west side goes just don't go really far away from the quarter on foot (at night).

If you don't like bourbon street go to Decatur. There are some more bars along Decatur and its a good place to be. If you're still not happy or just looking for more than come out to some Frenchman Street bars, this and on Decatur near this street is where most of the locals hang out.

I haven't listed any bars because you can practically go from one bar to the next. My favorite bar is probably One Eyed Jacks, I have seen some incredibly good shows there.

If you're looking for day time activities, you should check out our Aquarium of the Americas. It is a really good Aquarium and unless you hate life you'll enjoy it. Our zoo wasn't as impressive but I haven't been in quite awhile (I plan on checking it out in the spring/summer next year). Also we just had an insectarium open up about a year ago and im going this weekend. Also dont forget you can drink and eat all over the city during the day too.

Here is some random shit to avoid:
1) Most tourists wear mardi gras beads regardless of what time it is during the year. It makes you look like a tourist, so people will identify you as a tourist which could be both a negative or positive experience.
2) When someone bets you a dollar they can tell you where you got your shoes at, the answer is on your feet/socks/or other random bullshit thing to try to guilt you into giving up some money to a bum.
3) Same thing for how many babies your dad had (none--your mom had them all).

I could go on, but you should come out and take a look around, there are a lot of things you'll find out just walking around or talking to people. Most of the people here are friendly, but there are assholes too just like everywhere else.
