If you like a more relaxing area and love a more layed back atmosphere (more layed back than Frenchmans St even), head to the warehouse district - 5-10 minute walk from Bourbon St. Great little area also.

ALso, keep your hands and "feet inside the vehicle" - a bouncer at a ripper club literally grabbed me with my arms to my side, carried me right in to a club, tried to basically extort the cover charge out of me to head in. Not that I don't mind a naked female or two, it wasnt happening right then

NOLA makes Vegas look like a little bitch in my opinion.

And if you really want to have fun, buy a couple bags of beads and make a game of trying to play "ring toss" with the giant cross the hardcores are out every night preaching.....hard.
