New Orleans

I am planning a short weekend trip to N.O. with my kids, and want to put together an itinerary including places to see, things to do, hotels to stay in within walking distance of everything, etc. I don't want to drive around, but rather stay in a safe, central location. Any suggestions...?

I am going this weekend and I am curious to know what is still going on. This is my first time back since the storm. Let me know if you have any good ideas on food and things to see/do. Also- does La Freniere Park in Metairie look good? Are there still tons of birds there?

I am looking for a hotel that I used to stay at back in the day. I think it may be called Avenue Plaza but I may be wrong. It was on St Charles Ave in the Garden District. If not, can you recommend a great hotel in the area.? We are gearing up for Jazz Fest BABY!!

I received an email saying a revival broke out in New Orleans due to a march that was started from Pastor Billy Graham. Do you know if there is any fact to this?

Going there next week for a bachelor party. When I was there 4 years ago, one of the Bourbon Street gentlemen clubs advertised this service "Receive a bucket of soapy water and a sponge and wash down one of the girls" I think this sounds hilarious for the groom-to-be.

and more generally, Jefferson parish.

from a brief look at a map, Metairie and jefferson parish look just as large and densly populated as New orelans proper.

Would visiting Metairie and Jefferson Parish help broaden my perspective of the area? or should I stick to New orleans proper?

I've been hearing reports of random acts of violence in even touristy areas like the French Quarter.

How safe is the French Quarter at night?

What Neigborhoods should I avoid?

We hear that parts of New Orleans are rather dangerous for tourists, and we don't want to take any stupid risks, but we do want to do what tourists do ... eat in charming restaurants, shop, visit museums etc. Can we safely walk around in the Vieux Carre during the day, or evening?
