Negative. Its still spot on. Go. Party like an animal there and get the hell out at daylight.

That's pretty terrible advice for enjoying the city, unless you wanna just be one of those people who just drive in to hit up all the shitty bars on bourbon


It was not intended as advice. It was an opinion that I have had for 47 years. I stand by it 100%. The guy who said Houston was better is regretfully right. But.... NOLA has its French Quarter and that is what keeps it going. Eliminate the Quarter and NO ONE would come there. The locals love to hate on the FQ but reality is if it was sunk into oblivion tomorrow that would be the death sentence of the city. Thats FACT.

Jesus this is dumb.

Have you spent any time elsewhere? Uptown is much better than the FQ IMO. There's fun to be had downtown but the fact is if you're not trying to just get absolutely trashed bourbon street really sucks, Pat O's excluded.


And your opinion is far from fact.

I think I'm missing the point you're trying to make.

It's a little overboard to say no one would come. However I'm surprised so many people disagree that the FQ is our bread and butter when it' comes to tourism. As much as locals hate it, it's our main draw.
