I'm a 'native'... New Orleans born and bred. I love this city (sometime I don't know why, because of all the problems -- crime, politics, etc.). But I guess that's the cool part of loving her... it's "just because." I love coming across people from other areas who say that they really enjoyed New Orleans. That's such a pleasure. Plus, even though the French Quarter and the downtown area seem to be 'back to normal', there are LOTS of areas that are still greatly damaged since Katrina. So, I hope that this information is helpful to people who might want to visit us... and thereby help our economy. If you do come... I hope you have a BLAST!!!

I live in a neighborhood called Algiers Point. It's just across the Mississippi River from the French Quarter. At the foot of Canal Street and the river, there's a free ferry that will take you to Da' Point (that's what we locals call it).
We have a few 'bed & breakfast' businesses that would make it easy for you to have a sweet place to stay and still easily get to the French Quarter and anything else that's going on.
Here are a few more links for you to check out:

Here's Tom Fitzmorris' web site (he's a New Orleans food critic):

So, food recommendations, great New Orleans recipes... yum!
Enjoy!!!  | |

Posted: 4/11/2009 3:58:54 PM | | I just returned home to Missouri from New Orleans. I was also down there partying last Spring. After a long cold winter,I was ready to get down to some partying and warm weather. I really do like going down to Bourbon Street and the surrounding French Quarter. I have heard some bad stories about the place but I never saw anything that would make me want to stay away. If you love to party, then this is the place for you. The food is good too!!!! I hope I am able to make this a regular Spring Fling!! For a group of women,this place would be the most fun you will ever have!! See ya next year!! | |
