New Orleans

Pros: Such a diverse city
Cons: a bit wild

My husband went to Tulane so he used to talk about New Orleans long before I actually had a chance to visit the city. Talk about the city that never sleeps!! New Orleans has everything from the "high society" to the night life that starts...

Pros: Nice leisurely pace, low cost, pleasant meals
Cons: long duration

Amtrak runs a dedicated line from NYC to New Orleans. The train leaves the Atlanta station at 9:45 a.m. est and is due in at 8:30 p.m. cst. This 12 hour ride went by amazingly fast. The seats in coach seem to be comparable in comfort and size to 1st...

Pros: Historical Beauty, Old World Atmosphere, Party City....
Cons: The Cons and Scammers are always on the lookout for tourists.....

New Orleans is such an eclectic city. Where else can one go that - in 4 city blocks or less - you will see schools, bars, churches, witchcraft & voodoo shops, psychics, mimes, restaurants, art galleries, antique shops, tourist trap shops, the...

Pros: lots of fun, many places to see and go, good experience
Cons: tiring, crowded

I currently live in New Orleans. The city has a great nightlife. If
you're looking for a good place, go to the French Quarter. It's always
fun and interesting at any time. The French Quarter is a great place for
daylife too. There...

Pros: Great food; great music; fun people; warm weather; great architecture--dripping with atmosphere and ambiance
Cons: Can be hot and sticky. Have to watch where you walk and where you stay.

FRENCHMEN STREET (Insider’s Guide) PURPOSE OF THE ARTICLE: There's more than just the French Quarter. Really! You have heard of Bourbon Street and the French Quarter. But, have you heard of the adjacent Marigny neighborhood ...

Pros: Beautiful architecture, Great tours and places to visit, easy to get around...no car needed
Cons: Crime, large amount of people

I know that many people travel to New Orleans for the drinking and the parties but the city has many other things to offer. I spent 4 days in New Orleans without every going to a party and had one of the best trips of my life. The main place to visit in ...

Pros: Excellent Food! Awesome Music! Wild nightlife. It is definitely a party atmosphere
Cons: Bourbon Street smells kind of funky. Hot and Humid

I just came back from New Orleans and I had one of the best vacations ever!! We sayed there for 7 nights, 8 days. At first I must admit, I thought that this would be too long, but it turned out not to be enough time. This city just has something to do...

Pros: Lots to do and see even if you don't drink.
Cons: Beware of coming in the heat of the Summer. Food is pretty expensive here.

I have lived only about an hour away from New Orleans for 25 years now. I go in for a weekend several times a year and usually end up staying a little extra. I am a vegetarian (no meat, fish, eggs) so eating is sometimes a problem since the food is ...

Pros: N.O. in November: quiet, warm, utterly bewitching.
Cons: the hardest thing is deciding which restaurant to spend each meal at!

We went to N.O. in November, and loved every minute. We stayed up St. Charles at the Park View Guest House, a pretty good deal, beautiful location (overlooking lovely Audubon Park on St. Charles, with the streetcar rattling gently by right outside.)...

Pros: Friendly people, Great food
Cons: Very expensive, stinky streets

My trip to New Orleans was last year a few weeks before Mardi Gras. My ex-fiance and I stayed at the Le Pavillion (pronounced 'Lay Pov-ee-one'). We got it for a deal from expedia.com at $400 for 4 nights. The original price for our room was...

Pros: lots to see, great food, interesting people
Cons: expensive, very crowded during Mardi Gras

This was the first time we visited New Orleans. We heard about the great food and all the interesting things that happen in New Orleans so we decided for our first visit we would go during Mardi Gras (in case this was the only trip we would make to...

Pros: Summer's best bet for affordable fun.
Cons: Bourbon street very dirty, sometimes smelly.

And you can usually get a really nice room for $87/night or less, except Mardi Gras and various festivals. The tourist information shop on Jackson Square offers a coupon book in the summer months that provides rooms from some of the nicest hotels for ...

Pros: Great Blues and Jazz, Food, Party Time
Cons: Have to be able to go with the flow

Grab your umbrella, raincoat, and comfortable walking shoes and explore either "Lakeside" or "Riverside" in the Big Easy for days and days.

I enjoyed a visit to the Audubon Zoological Gardens at 65oo Magazine Street, rated...

Pros: Good restaurants, food
Cons: Drinking and sex the be-all and end-all of the city

I spent an extended weekend in the Big Easy and don't feel like I need to go back any time soon.
My wife and I don't drink, so already that's clearly a problem. But we're no squares and we like big cities and we like good restaurants and we were...

Pros: you can drink on the streets.
Cons: Don't expect to get to much sleep.

The Big Easy. This is where I spent the past New Years. I have to say, this is one of the best vacations I've ever been on. If I remember correctly, still trying to recover those lost brain cells, the city only shuts down for an hour in the morning...
