I don't think I have ever had a problem anywhere in New Orleans. I think I ended up on magnolia or something like that once too. It was suppose to have been the worst part of town period but the group of guys I asked directions from told me how to get back to where I needed to go.

Stay out of the ghetto. The rest is fine. The crime stats you hear pale in comparison to the sheer number of people who live and visit there, and most of the crime happens in very centralized locations most of us have no reason to be.
Go wherever, have a good time and just don't be dumb. Walking alone down a dark backstreet at 2am is a bad idea anywhere.

I think back in High School I took the wrong ferry coming back from a friends house on the Westbank and ended up in St. Bernard on St. Claude. That was fun.
I called my dad for directions and he almost had me meet one of his buddies at a sheriff's station

Learn from George Zimmberman, Stand your ground and shoot the mother F$#%R
Honestly I've had as many incidents in rural MS than in N.O.!
Just keep in mind that people are people and thugs are thugs. Unfortunately, its getting harder to tell the people from the thugs. The odds of encountering the latter are higher in N.O. when you get out of the tourist areas. Being smashed and ignoring your surroundings is a good way to attract unwanted attention. Large groups, appearing aware, and not looking like a target are important. All that being said the real danger is standing between two groups of armed thugs that can't shoot what they're aiming at!

Old habits die hard and she said "I only need 3 1/2 inches to satisfy me" so I raised my hand and said "I'm your guy". Little did I know that she was referring to the length of my credit card.

Ha I was expecting the other classic...she told me to give her 8" and make it hurt so I screwed her twice and slapped her in the face.

I'm stuck in NOLA for now. My wife's salon is here and so is my son's school. New Orleans isn't so bad as long as you don't act stupid. If you feel like you're in the wrong place, you probably are.....move on....find the light and head towards it.
I live in a very well lit and well guarded area of S. Carrollton but that didn't mean **** last year with 4 shootings within 4 blocks of my house. Even that doesn't mean anything because so far this year, its been quiet. Just let common sense prevail if you do come here....that'll keep you alive.

If you're in the Bywater area you do not want to be north of St Claude Avenue. After dark, especially. It's safer south of St Claude Avenue after dark but when I worked there I did my best to just get out of the area before the Sun went down
