re: New Orleans Must Do’s/Don’ts

One of my favorite things to do is sit at Labooze and people watch and watch all the strippers going to and from work at Ricks, also watch all the pervs walk in and out I’ve spent hours at Labooze just people watching on Bourbon. It’s one of my guilty pleasures

Duly noted for my next visit.

I’m being dead serious when I say this.

If you want to experience a real, genuine dive bar, go to Ms Maes on Magazine St then go to Brothers III right down the street. I swear to God you will never experience anything like it.

Ms Maes stays open 24/7
BRothers III closes at 4 am

You and your friends would probably also enjoy The Boot, F&Ms patio Bar and The Tchop Yard.

All those bars are Uptown and safe, much safer than the Quarter.

Agreed. That street side bar is fun, always has sports on and the people watching is top notch.

They used to sell some of the best cigars in the city, but now that there’s no smoking in bars I don’t think they sell them anymore.

Visions, make sure the driver drops you off a mile down the road.

Watch crossing the street on Bourbon. Witnessed a crack head take out a Lucky Dog stand with a Lincoln Continental once time.

You got your shoes on the bottom of your feet.

Don’t drink the Hand Grenades, Hurricanes, etc. They suck and you’ll pay for it for two days.

Don’t stare at the homeless junkies on Royal St or they’ll follow you and talk shite for couple blocks.

When you get to St. Ann’s St, turn around don’t drown (in the pools of fairy jizz... unless that’s your thing then have a blast).

Don’t look the nutria rats in the eyes.



Otherwise, the zoo is worth a visit. You can ride the street car and check out the mansions on the way.

I find the aquarium boring.

The mall on the low end of Canal is great for shopping. But Magazine St is better.

WW2 museum is awesome if you like history.

The Presbytere and Cabildo are worth checking out. They’re identical buildings that have different exhibits in them. I got married in the Presbytere in the front room overlooking Jackson Square.

Clancy’s and Mr. John’s are a couple of good restaurants that you can hit and not have to worry about fighting the FQ crowd.

Basically if you want to get rowdy, go to Bourbon and just don’t do too much stupid shite. If you just want to drink and socialize with the group you’re with and with other small groups, do like one poster suggested and go to the rooftop bar in the Pontchartrain or something like that.
