    As someone who spent most of their life moving to New Orleans right before Halloween and moving out of New Orleans right after Mardi Gras, this is a very accurate video. Good job. Not to much I can think to add other than follow your instincts. If you feel uneasy, go ahead and move back out of whatever you were walking into.

    As a native, I'd say even locals sleep on the WWII museum. DO NOT. It's so worth going. If you have any interest in history, have vets/active servicemen or women in your family, or whatever you need to go. Several exhibits hit really hard, and should be seen by every american.

    All this just seems like common sense for any big city ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I will say though, one of the things I experienced is a guy trying to hustle us. He literally just came up on my cousin and started “shining” his shoes and then tried to ask for money. Like my man, you might want to lead with what you’re charging before you put your hands on someone’s shoes.

    Explore outside downtown & the quarter. There is so much more to see & do, outside of the city! The Garden District is beautiful. Magazine street is a blast, lots to do & see. Abita has an awesome brewery!

    I watched this video before going to New Orleans last May. It gave me some helpful tips and I really loved the trip. Kept my wallet in my front pocket while I was there thanks to you btw.

    I'm from New Orleans, 7th ward! For my people who hood. Don't get offended when somebody say Wazzam bitch. That's our lingo. It is a greeting but when they say bitch wazzam, that's fighting words lol. Also, try crawfish from Cajuns on Claiborne or Cajun Corner on Behrman hwy. Not everybody have good crawfish. Also, when you get beignets, only get them from Cafe Du Monde. Protect yourself, we really struggling out here so watch your back. Don't walk alone. Make sure you have a way home because them hand grenades not nice lol. The streetcar only takes you up and down Canal. So, if you want to visit the 9th ward, Westbank or any other location, please make sure you have your own transportation. Most importantly, have fun.

    #1 should be "Don't go". It's a sweaty, stinking hole in the ground full of people who think the sun shines out their ass, it's a tourist rip off far more effective than TJ ever dreamed of being… and it smells like piss.

    Excellent first point: it's not N'Awlins or New Orleens! Only outsiders or songwriters call it that.

    And don't see in the street. You don't do that back home, I hope.

    Try some beignets. And coffee with chicory, like an Orleanian.
