Advice on a trip to New Orleans
Posted on 9/25/22 at 11:24 am

2 of my sister-in-laws are planning a trip to New Orleans. Having heard all about the crime and lack of police problems my knee jerk reaction was no way.
They're planning to stay at the Hilton Inn in the French Quarter on Gravier Street.
Am I being over the top when I tell them they need to cancel or will it be fine and I should mind my own business?

I would not send two female loved ones into the French quarter unaccompanied

Where?
No way to tell if they will be in the wrong place at the wrong time, which could happen anywhere

He must mean in the CBD.
That's worse as they'll have to travel through a minefield of cultcha to get to the French Quarter.

It’s only a few blocks - but if they don’t stay out too late - I think they should be fine
Just need to be aware

Take out a life insurance policy with you as the beneficiary.

Stay Uptown and take an Uber to the French Quarter. The area around the French Quarter gentrified a lot last decade but it's going back downhill again. Crime is up in the entire city but Uptown is kind of in its own bubble and insulated from the worst of it. Try to stay south of St. Charles Ave or west of Napoleon Ave.

If you can find an airbnb in Audubon place, I think you’ll be safe but can’t guarantee it

Across the street from Colette’s.

I cannot in good conscience recommend anything regarding someone making a trip to New Orleans.
It’s dangerous, it’s corrupt, and the powers that be DO NOT deserve to be rewarded for their horrific leadership, and as such deserve not one red cent. Let them feast upon each other, not you.
You don’t have to be a martyr to have a good time.

No need to go across canal

Yes you are. I would suggest taking a short Uber ride from hotel to their intial destination in the FQ if it's dark. Then walking around the FQ is fine as long as they stay on busy streets and try to walk near other groups when going from place to place.
During the day, the walk from their hotel to the FQ is short and perfectly safe.
I live 45 minutes from New Orleans. We've been down there with our teenage kids a few times recently:
Hamilton
Van Gogh
day trip to French Market/Jackson Square
LSU vs FSU Game
New Orleans is still a wonderful place. The media and The OT make it sound like Tijuana or some shite.
