Local non tourist trap bars



I can walk to ten non tourist trap bars in less than 8 minutes.

The rest of your list is fricking grocery stores.

I loathe going to Metry to shop. Much rather the wesbank for any/all of the needs listed.

Yeah if I need something from a big box store usually go to the West Bank, at least on the weekends

No way you are walking after stops at the first 5.

I rarely ever needed to go to Veterans Blvd for anything. Maybe once a year I’d think ‘hey I’ll just go to Vets’. Why would being close to Veterans be any reason in picking a place to live in N.O.?

One of the relatively few pros of living here is you’re more removed from that ugly big box shite than most people

If we are talking orleans parish, of actually attainable places, it is Lakeview

Violent crime rate is below the national average, probably the safest area per capita in orleans parish, its property crime rate is not as ideal as that is closer to national average or slightly above


If you are a city dweller and want to be in the CITY city, a condo in the WHD

Roughly an hour or two away would be the ideal spot!

I dunno, have you been to the one on Power Blvd? Airline and LaBarre isn't too shabby either...

In the square that is St. Charles on the north, Annunciation on the south, Napoleon on the east, and Audubon Park on the west. A block or two outside of that in any direction is fine.
