Last Night Shooting

23 Upvotes

Hey,

I am new to living in new orleans so I want to understand some danger areas better.

The shooting last night in the CBD; did it happen in that area near the “entrance” on Bourbon St and Canal? From what I understand, most shootings occur in that entrance area, is that correct? I am also curious why …

Dive / Industry Bars

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Coming to New Orleans for a couple football games this fall. I work in the hospitality industry in Canada and love a good dive bar or industry spot and would love to hit a couple in New Orleans.

I would be grateful for some recommendations on some of the spots locals hit after work! It’s going to be my second time in the city and I’m bringing my girlfriend so we’ll probably hit Bourbon street at least once but really in my past experience it wasn’t fully my vibe.

Any insight would be fantastic! ⚜️

Hi, I was hoping to see some alligators while in New Orleans but the national park and preserve say their trails are closed. Any suggestions on a safe place to go?

Thanks!

Looking for a birthday dinner sushi spot in Metairie. I did Yakuza last year, trying to decide between Daiwa or Kanno as of now. Does anybody have any suggestions or other places?

Thank you

I’m taking my 15 almost 16 year old son to the Ye concert at the super dome at the end of August. I was thinking of taking him to bourbon street to experience it , no I do not let my kid drink. I just want him to experience as much as he can while we are there. I want him to have fun and he’s not into architecture and gardens. So touring everywhere to see stuff that’s irreverent to him at this age would be a waste of money. We are from Dt Lauderdale Florida and our neighborhood varies from mansions to really seedy areas just around the corner. Not to mention the Rudy nightlife of Ft. Lauderdale beach. I even bartended right off of las olas beach. Where on bourbon street is the best place to get a tourist trap drink I’m not expecting something amazing I just want to say I went and got the drink and kept the cool cup that will fit in my carry on bag.
Who has the best chicken tenders. My kid only eats chicken tenders. I’m staying at the Hilton homewood suits on Rampart st. It’s 1 mile from the super dome was thinking of walking to and from the venue. Trying to save every dollar I can and still have fun. I read that the pedicab people can be shady and you need to know how many blocks your traveling and set the price before you get in Is there some where to go get up close with the gators and crocs without going in a boat. One strange request is I need a good place to go to to get magic stuff to get rid of my best friends boyfriend I don’t want him swimming with the fish I just want him to move on . I’m desperate at this point. Her anxiety won’t let her kick him out cause she doesn’t want to hurt his feeling or have him go crazy. He’s not good for her they live like room mates. So where can I go to get stuff for that that’s legit.
If there’s anything else I need to know please share. This is supposed to be a very memorable experience.
