I have many times and now that I'm living in Pensacola Fl again I'll go many more. Its a fun party place and pretty wild at night in the French quarter, food is great , and if you don't want Rowdy go to the garden District walk past the old homes , cant miss the Manning House . Like all big cities you need to avoid walking alone from the French quarter to your hotel late in the morning if you are in the bag , you could become a target. I treat New Orleans like Vegas , have for for 3-4 days max then get out .
