New Orleans is one of the most visited cities in America and has many major attractions, from the world-renowned Bourbon Street and the French Quarter's notorious nightlife, St. Charles Avenue (home of Tulane and Loyola Universities), and many stately 19th century mansions. Magazine Street, with its many historic antique shops, is also an area visited by many tourists. Also on St. Charles Avenue is the historic Pontchartrain Hotel.
Favorite tourist scenes in New Orleans include the French Quarter (known locally as "the Quarter" or Vieux Carré), which dates from the French and Spanish eras and is bounded by the Mississippi River, Rampart Street, Canal Street and Esplanade Avenue. The French Quarter contains many popular hotels, bars, and nightclubs, most notably around Bourbon Street.

Mardi Gras or Carnival Time is the biggest celebration in New Orleans, Louisiana. The yearly festival includes numerous events throughout the city, and is known as the biggest free party on earth.
New Orleans , Food:
9/10
New Orleans is a culinary delight, but don't look too hard for healthy food; some would say don't look at all (although those demanding, say, vegetarian, vegan, or kosher food can with effort find it). Take advantage of what they prepare best here. New Orleans has good food for people on any type of budget.
New Orleans , Hotels:
10/10
The numerous hotels in the French Quarter and Central Business District are most centrally located for most tourists, but there are good accommodations in many other parts of town as well. Hotels on or near the St. Charles Avenue streetcar line in Uptown are popular with many visitors, and the smaller hotels and guest houses in neighborhoods like Marigny and Mid-City can provide an immersion in New Orleans away from the larger masses of tourists.
New Orleans , Safety:
10/10
During the height of the hurricane season, from July through October, be sure to check with the weather service before going to New Orleans, and if a large storm is threatening the Gulf Coast, consider a change of plans. Following the widespread displacement of people, destruction of property, and general disruption of city services following Katrina, the city has been experiencing a spike in violent crime, even increasing from 2006 to 2007. The majority of this is away from the parts of town of interest to most visitors, but no part is as safe as it once was.
Looking for drugs or illegal activities can expose you to danger; if someone you just met is trying to lure you into a strange part of town for something decadent, assume you're probably being set up for a robbery. It's the same with any city, be smart and keep your wits about you.
You are an ignorant fuck

shut the fuck up. you are talking nothing but shit. clearly you have never been out of your home before, either that or you are one of those people that defeat the purpose of travel by eating and sleeping the same way they do when they are at home so that they don't feel so home sick and don't have to realise that there is actually a huge world filled with diverse and beautiful things out there and you have missed it because your head is in the sand. as far as eating the food and sitting on the toilet for a week, if you use your head correctly and take note of what you eat and take the proper precautions then eating in Kathmandu is wonderful. as far as hotels go, when was the last time you saw a hotel in the US for US$5 a night with a twin bed, hot water and breakfast served in the morning? because hat is the value for money you will find if you actually look around Kathmandu and many other less well off countries. my message here really is to just let people who read this bullshit know that what this moron has said is not true, and there are hundreds of incredible things to see and do in Nepal and the food, people and accommodation come in all colours and qualities. as for the writer of this, wake the fuck up before you waste your life. as for me, ill be trekking through the Annapurna ranges in a few months, something other than Mt Everest to do in Nepal, fancy that?

Looking forward to Kathmandu

Peter, rather strong language but take your point - I'm in the middle of organising a world trip and the only reason I wanted to go to Kathmandu was because I get to travel to Tibet from there, however, trying to get one trip to link with another is rather exasperating and realised I would end up staying there a few days between excursions so looked a bit further into it and realised that I'm actually glad I'm getting to stay a few days. My only comment for those that have said bad things about the place is that everyone's entitled to their opinion and I'll reserve mine until I see the place, however, I would like to think that regardless of what country I visit that I will look at things with an open mind and respect each country, its people and their way of life regardless of my own opinions. PS I've stayed in a few dodgy places in the states and got food poisoning from a cafe in my home town here in England!
