I've never been there but once the city is back on it's feet, I'd love to go there----just not in hurricane season.

Nope.
I was there for a district convention back in the 70's. Drunks were passed out all over the street. It was nasty and it smelled bad. You would have to be drunk to stand it. Sorry, not my thing.

I love the idea of going to New Orleans, but not during mardi gras. Too crazy for me with all the drunken folks and girls baring their boobs for beads and junk.

Never mind the nay-sayers!
New Orleans is not just Bourbon street, they have a great local arts scene, great live music scene, stunning architecture and some of the best restaurants in the country. Yes you will run into some drunks on bourbon street, but thats just all full of tourists anyways...explore the small streets in the french quarters, the small galleries, the smaller restaurants and cafes and shops. Sadly, who knows how much of any of this is even left.....

When I feel like going to New Orleans, I'll just watch The Pelican Brief.
