relatively cheap parking in Nola?
i've been looking around for ways to avoid the extreme parking prices set by the hotels in the downtown area... is there an alternative that is still fairly safe and cheaper? will be going to orleans for valentines so would appreciate any suggestions... thanx

stefami - just curious - are you driving to NOLA? If not, why rent a car? New Orleans is a great place to get around on foot and parking is outrageous or unsafe. I wouldn't leave a car overnight near the French Market on a dare.
If you want to make some side trips - rent a car later in your trip. Good luck.

There is free parking under the overpass approach (U.S. 90) to the Greater New Orleans Bridge over the Miss. River. Best and safest spot is anywhere under the bridge between St. Charles Ave and Camp Street. I often park there and walk to work on Poydras. Many who work downtown do so. During the day its absolutely safe, however I can't speak for the night, though around St. Charles there is always traffic. You can also catch the street car from there to get into the Quarter. I am not saying I would recommend this but it is one option. Another option would be to check into your hotel then drive up St. Charles Ave. preferably past Napolean Ave. closer to Tulane Univ. and park on the street and then catch the street car back to the Quarter, assuming you are staying in the Quarter. Just leave your car there until time to leave (though someone will have to go retrieve it). I live uptown and do not have off street parking (i.e. I have to park on the street, no choice) and have never had any problem with vandalism.
