You'll just miss the murder season, but you'll be there in time for the armed robbery season.

Exactly, there hasn't been a mass shooting in almost a week.

You'll be fine unless you're falling down drunk at 4 AM by yourself on a dark street. Just don't ask like an idiot and treat New Orleans like a place that people live in and not your own personal vacation zone. Mostly tourists get robbed.

The quarter is very safe until midnight for the most part. between 12-3 is when the worst of the worst come out to prey on people. Most common crime is pick pocketing by far. Hustlers are out in the daytime. Best to avoid anyone who comes up to you talking about shoes on your feet.

I usually steer people to Frechmen after 10 as it's a better scene. Every club has live music and most have no covers and it's a smaller area and is a lot safer.

Bourbon is fun to see, but drinks aren't that great and most the bars suck.

Royal is fun to walk down in the daytime and shop and listen to the street performers.

Just be smart. Stay in groups and as well lit as possible.

I was running downtown Memphis a few weeks ago and I wanted to hit Beal St. it was 5:30am and I was making my way there but saw a pickup truck with 10 plus ppl in the back parked on the corner. I quickly changed my plans to avoid any issue!

What does this mean? Stay between Canal and Conti? If so, I have to say as a Quarter resident, I do not concur.
