| New Orleans | Staying in New Orleans Posted: Thu October 22, 2009 05:54 PM UTC
Next summer my friend and I are planning to spend about a week in New Orleans. Where is probably the safest area for two females to stay? I know how to stay safe (beware of surroundings, no dark alleys that sort of thing) but we really don't want to stay in a seedy area either.

| New Orleans | Transportation to/from Marriott Hotel Convention Center Posted: Tue September 1, 2009 01:09 AM UTC
My wife and I will be arriving in New Orleans this Thursday around 11pm and will be staying at the Marriott Hotel in the Convention Center. We would like to know what is the best transportation to use when we get there and when we leave?
We know that the airport shuttle is $30/ea round trip, but we would like to know if taxi or bus would be cheaper and easier to travel? How long would it take for the types of tranportation to/from the hotel to the airport? We both will be carrying only a small carry-on luggage for 4 days. PS how far is the convention center to the French Quarter? Is there a streetcar or trolley available around the convention center? Thanks for any advices. |

| New Orleans | Restaurant for Parade watching Posted: Wed August 19, 2009 09:51 PM UTC
I know there are a few restaurants on St Charles that provide food, drink and a place to watch the parade for a fee. Can anybody give me any suggestions? I have found two so far. Cannon's Restaurant and Michaul's Restaurant. We are coming the Thursday before Mardi Gras and have to leave on Sunday because of prior commitments but are planning on finding a place to watch parades on Saturday for Endymion.
Let me know Ideas. |

I was thinking about taking a holiday in New Orleans next Summer, to celebrate completing my first year of university. The problem is I'm extraordinarily pale skinned. Will I be burnt to a crisp, or baked alive in the blistering heat?

| New Orleans | Hotel for Mardi Gras? help ... Posted: Wed August 12, 2009 12:22 PM UTC
We're going to Mardi Gras in Feb 2010 and looking for suggestions of the best place to stay without paying over $200/night. We'd like to stay within a couple blocks of Bourbon Street, minimum 3 stars.
We went to Mardi Gras in 2002 and stayed in a Courtyard Marriott in the CBD but in walking distance from the French Quarter. Got it through priceline.com and it was only $90/night! I've just checked and it's fully booked for 2010. Also, when we went last time there were no buses from the airport to the city - has that changed? We'd like to avoid taxis if possible ... more money for hand grenades!!! :) Any tips would be appreciated! Happy travels, daniele :) |

| New Orleans | Nice hotel in the French Quarter Posted: Wed August 12, 2009 10:08 AM UTC
Hi there,
I'm helping a friend book a trip to New Orleans with his new(ish) girlfriend. He is attending a conference at the Morial Convention Centre, but is looking to stay in the French Quarter. Preferably a good hotel that doesn't cost the earth and is not enormous (ie. not a 300+ room mega hotel Marriott/Hilton/Holiday Inn, etc). Maybe something with a bit of character? Many thanks in advance, Hayley :) |

| New Orleans | Cab Fare & Food Posted: Sat August 8, 2009 09:00 PM UTC
Though I've been to New Orleans many times, I haven't been back since before Katrina. I heard that the Rock N Bowl has moved to a new location. What is the approximate cab fare to get there now from the French Quarter?
Also, where are the best meat pies & fried green tomatoes in New Orleans, preferably in or closer to the French Quarter? |

| Louisiana | New Year's in Louisiana Posted: Tue August 4, 2009 05:29 PM UTC
Hello everyone,
We'll be spending the Christmas Break in New Orleans and surrounding area. We were looking for somewhere we can spend a quiet New Year's -- we're not into partying. Looking for a charming small town or something off-the-beaten path in Louisiana or Mississipi that would have some low-key celebrations. I was thinking of Natchez, Vicksburg, or Natchitoches; hoping there might be some other ideas out there .... Thanks!! |

| Louisiana | Remnants of the Hurricane Posted: Wed July 8, 2009 04:25 PM UTC
Hello,
I am planning a trip to New Orleans in mid-August. One thing I would like to do is visit areas and neighborhoods most significantly affected by the hurricane. Maybe ones that haven't been fully rebuilt yet. I want to be careful about expressing my reasoning as it seems somewhat wrong to be a tourist of these areas. However, I would like to gain a better understanding of the hurricane's significance from a firsthand perspective, as I have only been affected by small clips on the news so far. A few of my friends went straight down to volunteer after they heard the news, and I wished my schedule would have allowed it at the time. Can anyone suggest an area to visit, within a reasonable distance of New Orleans? Thanks! |

| New Orleans | Where is Ignatius O'Reilly (and other Statues)? Posted: Mon July 6, 2009 02:21 AM UTC
Going to New Orleans with our 7 year old next month. Would like to show him some of the statues as we tour the city. Know about Robt. E. Lee, Andrew Jackson & Joan of Arc. I was led to believe that there is a statue of Ignatius O'Reilly somewhere (possibly on Canal). Any help, hints, directions or suggestions about other statues or sculpture would be a big help. Thanks

Hi! I am full of questions! We are senior citizens.My wife and myself are passing thro New Orleans this winter. We would like to stay in a safe, clean hotel..not too far from the french Q & action. I have selected the Days inn @ Metairie (I-10 service rd) (about $60/day). The reviews sounds ok. Does any one have a better one to recommend What will be the the cost of the taxi from Metairie to Canal st/Elk Pl (Greyhound bus ). It is roughly about 10 Km (6 miles) distance. Are the main streets in the French Q safe till say 8pm. What are the best shopping area (curios , boutiques ,small shops and good malls with character. |

| New Orleans | New Orleans on 4 July and then driving to Nashville. Posted: Fri May 22, 2009 12:51 PM UTC
Hi Virtual Tourist!
We are planning to visit New Orleans on the 4 of July. What are the musts and what should we avoid? Heard that there are some bad neighbourhoods around there. We are travelling across the whole country so we can't book any hotels unless without loosing all spontaneity. Therefore we plan to pick any hotell downtown or slepp in the car. Good or bad idea??? Next thing we will be dring to Nashville. Is there anyting we should see along the road or is it better to just close our eyes and drive?? :-) We need to be in Nashville on the 6th of July so we have about 2 days to drive... Thankful for any advice! |

We are looking at staying in this area but am getting somewhat nervous. Has anyone stayed there? Is it safe? I understand about taxi's at night but is the general area safe. Can't get a real sense from google maps or anything else. Renter is telling us it is safe.
