We have walked every inch of the French Quarter (from 6am to 2am), the Garden District and most of the cemeteries. We have never felt the least bit nervous. If you are not going to walk the French Quarter, and just stick to Bourbon St., I would not even bother going. O'Briens' is fun. But, it is a tourist trap. The famous Hurricane is served in glass that you pay extra for. If you don't want the glass you have to wait in line to get your money back. Kind of a hassle. Jackson Square is a must. If you want a once in a life time experience, go to Commander's Palace. One note about Cafe Du Monde. Twenty years ago you could get up in the morning and if your hotel was close enough you could walk over and pick up some coffee and beignets in a few minutes. Now, it's an hour long line at all times. It's not worth it. There are shops all over the French Quarter that make coffee and beignets just as good as Cafe Du Monde.</blockquote>
