RE: Crossing Off The Bucket List
Bourbon Street at night is one of the biggest draws to the city if you're into the night life at all. It's an experience. St. Louis Cemetery is pretty amazing and it's usually pretty free of tourists. There are bigger cemeteries though. Museum of Death is less than 5 minutes from St. Louis Cemetery. If you want good food, shit... where to even begin... Ruby Slipper is nice and it's all over NOLA, all of the local places are probably going to blow away most food that you've had in restaurants (personal opinion, but I've traveled around the U.S. and tried plenty of restaurants and it's basically no contest). Just walking around the garden district, the French Quarter, or the River Walk during the day can be fun too. In general, it's hard to have a bad time taking a trip to NOLA unless there's a hurricane going on.
For sure Bourbon street is a must, but thought that night time would be a bad time because of how things could be sketchy.
Museum of Death is a must! I haven't heard of it yet but with you telling me, omg who wouldnt?
I will make note of going to the Ruby Slipper. It sounds interesting with just that name.
We are making it there just after hurricane season apparently. Hoping we are lucky to not catch any.
Bourbon at night is, in my opinion, no more dangerous than going to a bar. Sure someone might get drunk and make an ass out of themselves, but its pretty heavily patrolled by mounted cops, so it really doesn't get out of hand except during Mardi Gras. I generally advice people to not go during Mardi Gras as it's just pure chaos. Crim did a post from walking around Bourbon at night on her blog within the last 6 months, so that's probably like 4 or 5 posts back if you wanna see it, but that was during a festival, so it was more packed than what you'll probably see.
That's good to know, would suck a bit for just drinking indoors in our hotel room lol.
I'll go check out her post for sure! Thanks for helping out and sharing some tips with me. I greatly appreciate it.
