Make no mistake that Bourbon Street is not for everyone, but it is definitely fun just to walk down the street at least once. It is a unique place with a great atmosphere. I never felt unsafe in this area. Bring your drinking shoes.

We took some Great advice from a waiter one night and got off of Bourbon Street and went down to "Frenchmans" I think it was called. This is where are the locals go to party and the music was phenominal. I just found that it seemed that every band played all the same songs all night no matter which club we were in on bourbon. It got boring. We really enjoyed Frenchmans street!

This was our second trip to the city, this time after the storm. We were not impressed. Pan handlers & others kinda scary. Just wasn't expecting that. We felt like we needed a shower when we got back to the room. I am sure there are nicer places in the city...maybe we just missed it this time.

Ok so maybe Bourbon Street isn't for everyone. I for one thought it was a great street if you go down it with an open mind. There were many bars and strip clubs, but coming from those bars was some pretty good live music and as for the strip clubs, when was the last time anyone went to a city and didn't see any strip clubs. There was an abundance of little shops and although much of the merchandise was "inappropriate", that too was entertaining if looked upon with an open mind. Also, it is in a superb area of the city and just a short walk from the amazing Cafe du Monde. This street may be for the younger generation, but with an open mind, it can be enjoyed by all.
