With the French Quarter being the focal point of tourist hype in New Orleans I felt sort of obligated to take a look - but it turned out to be a brief one, and during the day, mind you - not sure I want to know what it looks like at night. Apart from a few reasonably neat though very... more

30 may 08 I live 80 miles north of the Quarter . 26 may 08 I had some friends from out of town come in and wanted to go the french quarter , so as a transportation we rode our motorcycles down with the price of gas and such it made it more economical . And leaving more money to... more

The F.Q. is one of the most unique, history-filled, beautiful areas of any city I've visited in the US. If you're a history-buff it's one of the oldest and greatest places in the US to visit for North American history. If you're a party animal, Bourbon St. puts Vegas to shame. If you're a food connoisseur, there are excellent restaurants... more

I am not sure why folks don't see French Quarter for the things it has to offer. My husband and I enjoyed this lovely place for its food & entertainment. We are not big time drinkers but enjoyed walking on Bourbon Street, sipping on hurricanes, & going in & out of bars and seeing some exhibitionists here & there. It... more

I am only writing this because the latest review was apparently from some old boring people who were surprised there were cops and loud music on Bourbon Street? Well, my friends and I had a safe, fun, amazing time over the weekend in our first time in N.O. Dangerous and filthy New Orleans is not. There is plenty to see... more

Worst vacation ever. Bourbon St. is nothing but strip clubs, mediocre rock music and over zealous cops trying to create revenue for a city that sadly has very little to offer. My most memorable picture is of FEMA trailors sitting in front of half built homes. Donate your money.....but vacation somewhere else. more

There is so much to do, see and eat in and around the French Quarter. I didn't see any hurricane damage from the French Quarter to the Garden District, to the airport (if you want to see it, go see it, but if you don't, you won't be bombarded with it). What I did see is that everyone working there... more

Just returned from a long weekend in the French Quarter in New Orleans and it is 99% back to normal after Katrina. Some of the buildings are cleaner due to just being painted and they are redoing the French Market which is half completed. The completed portion is much nicer than before. We look forward to our return next year... more

New Orleans is an underrated hotspot for vactioners. Its French Quarter is much to be desired. Rebuilt shortly after the hurricane nearly two years ago, this area is filled with joy and enthusiasm. Built for tourism, it has many delicious and famous restaurants from which to eat. From the world's most famous chef, Emeril, to Thomas Wolf, a master of... more

Forget Katrina, Forget Rita, and Forget FEMA, the French Quarter is back (and safe. Enough with the rumors already)! I have never had so much fun in such a variety of ways in such a small area. The French Quarter has everything (for adults, anyway). Bourbon street is, of course, loud and crowded at night but the side streets can... more
