Good area vs bad area in New Orleans
Could anyone help me out? My wife and I are planning a 3 or 4 day weekend to see New Orleans. Neither have been there and we are really interested in staying in a nice area. I know some city neighborhoods could turn bad real quick. Is there a specific area which we should avoid staying in? Any insider information would be a great help.

Steven, there are some seedy areas in and around the French Quarter, though we've always stayed in the Quarter when in NO because it's so much fun to be there. Another possibility (one I'd like to try next time) is to stay in a B&B in the nearby lovely Garden District, and ride the cable car to the Quarter. Just for something different.

This "hellhole" (this board seems to attract people like "xxx" doesn't it?) is one of the most historic and most heavily-visited cities in America. In fact, I read the other day that New Orleans and San Francisco regularly top the list of cities where first-time visitors most want to return in the future. You'll have a good time, Steven, wherever you stay.
