New Orleans is a trash city, filled with every type of scammer known to man. You cant walk one block without people trying to scam you out of money. The natives as a whole are rude and unwelcoming. The cart and horse tours are trash. Our tour guide was racist against Asians. Making it clear that she had to spray the COVID that the Asians brought to New Orleans off of the blankets that she offers her riders. How petty. There was a homeless man sleeping at the entrance of a restaurant and the staff wanted patrons to just act like he wasnt there. It was very disturbing. Dont go to the French Market, they up charge whenever you try to buy something. If the sign says T-shirts ten dollars, they will claim the T-shirt you chose is actually thirty dollars. All of the food, no matter where you go all taste the same. Every restaurant has the same sorry menu. New Orleans is all hype

I love New Orleans! I've visited twice this year! Whatever you do - DO NOT drink a Hand Grenade. (Which actually means, definitely try the Hand Grenade! They're delicious and will get you drunk before you even realize it. And if you go out drinking on Bourbon Street just beware. Those drinks will get you smashed drunk. I've got some incredible memories from being there in June. What a fun time. If Bourbon Street is too wild for you, check out FRENCHMAN street! That's where all the locals go to party. Also check out the waterfront near the Mississippi River. There's a little outdoor vendor market near there too. I also recommend checking out the Garden District. Lots of great stuff in NOLA, coming from a Californian. :) HOWEVER: they currently have a vaccine mandate and when I visited in September I was asked to show proof of vaccination at multiple restaurants. NOT cool.

Its odd I have had a feeling pulling me to New Orleans for years now. . but I havent listened. . New Orleans sounds complicated and also easy at the same time. I prefer the French quarter and the cemetery some type of history lesson with it. something that would intrigue me Im scared that. I will miss all the parts I need to see. and perhaps. my luck not get a taxi I always travel in 3s. do they charge 15 dollars for kids to. that bites. hmm Uber sounds more like it for me. they have a vampire ball every year. I want to attend. but scared theyll try to eat me. I had the same pulling feeling to New York and was quite disappointed. food sucked. and. no one was singing Christmas carols like they do on tv.

Rideshare
As a LONG TIME lyft/uber driver in NOLA our rates are cheaper, our cars are cleaner, our drivers are friendlier and you will know who you are riding with. Our drivers are background checked a few times each year. And I can personally tell you horror stories of rub cabbies changing the rates on passengers to maximize their profits unrealistically. but, hell. take a cab if you can't understand the LARGE SIGNS that are CLEARLY displayed showing you that the Lyft/uber pick up zone is 8 feet from the hotel shuttles. WHICH ARE EVEN CHEAPER then riding rideshare! Just say'n

I would pay the kids beating on plastic buckets to stop. It is awful and endless. We travel there most every other weekend because as we have a loft in a warehouse there. We rarely go to the French Quarter. So many restaurants all over town. City park is awesome and bigger than Central Park. Dont stand in that line at Cafe Du Monde in the French Quarter to get beignets. That are many other places that have them that are equally good. There is a Cafe Du Monde in City Park.

New Orleans is a very friendly place. All major cities have sketchy aspects. Paris has pick-pockets. Nola has the Shoe hustle. The history of the city is hustling tbh. Locals are a hoot, super fun and friendly. Everything is walking distance in the French Quarter/Frenchman. Be kind and respectful of the culture!

I went to New Orleans a couple months ago to interview at UNO, I stayed at the City House Hostel on Canal & Burgundy Street. It was a great experience. Bare bones, but all I needed. Right on the edge of the quarter and a fraction of the cost I would have spent at a hotel nearby.

I have always wanted to visit NO. But I'll never be able to as I have a criminal record. After checking up there's not a chance in hell id even make it out the airport. Lol. I only have myself to blame.
So envious of anyone who visits or lives in NO.
