Cochon - NOLA
We'll be down in New Orleans next week and would like to grab a meal at Cochon. We're staying down in the French Quarter at Monteleone. Is the walk to Cochon from there doable/safe/easy? Are there cabs available in that area after dinner to get back to our hotel?

It's kind of a hike from the 200 block of Royal Street to the 900 block of Tchoupitoulas, not all of which is the most friendly of areas. I would cab it. You shouldn't have any problems getting a cab after dinner, as they seem to cruise the area, but if you don't see one, I'm sure the hostess will call one for you.
Cochon is a fun restaurant. Be sure to try an after-dinner Catdaddy moonshine. Really!

The area between Cochon and downtown is totally fine! Good grief. The Warehouse District is the single SAFEST neighborhood in New Orleans, according to stats. If you feel better taking a cab, it's never a bad option. You shouldn't have the impression that it's somehow unsafe, however.
Cochon is a great restaurant. It's one of my favorites. Let the waiter guide you on your choices because sometimes the menu descriptions are hard to decipher.

I took the streetcar to the nearest cross street (Julia?) then walked the couple of blocks to the restaurant. That was for lunch. But I got to the very near-by Emeril's the same way in the evening. I walked up to get a streetcar to go back afterwards, but saw it go by just before I got there so knew I'd have a good wait late at night, so I walked back (Royal and Conti area). It's not that far.
Enjoy Cochon -- the entire menu sounds delicious. I simply did three small dishes for a lunch and each was wonderful.
