I just spent the last few days in the French Quarter of New Orleans.
It is an absolute $#@!-hole. Bourbon street smells like urine and feces. It might be something worth seeing one time, but there’s no reason to justify a second visit.
The music is nothing but mediocre cover bands. We have much better blues and jazz clubs in Seattle and Tacoma. Most of the bands I saw would be playing in small taverns in my area.
It has a very third world vibe. The food off bourbon street was good in places.
It has a very interesting history, but that’s about it.
