Birthplace of jazz<br />

Bourbon Street was famous for its jazz clubs, but<br />

it’s mostly been given over to alcohol-fueled revelry.<br />

Buskers show off and there’s electricity in its bawdy<br />

nature, but for a taste of local musicianship visit<br />

Frenchman’s Street. You can have a drink and plate<br />

of food while listening to band after band churn<br />

out all musical genres. There’s also a night market<br />

worth checking out.<br />

Safety<br />

NOLA has a reputation as a rough place, going<br />

back to its origins as a major port with pirates<br />

and warships going in and out. The fact that the<br />

North American version of the mafia originated<br />

there didn’t enhance its safety rating. But, like most<br />

places, if you’re smart, practice good situational<br />

awareness, keep to the main areas and don’t<br />

participate in illegal activities, you’ll be fine.<br />
