I walked around and took in the city. It wasn't like I was running down an alley to find trouble either. Stick to Bourbon Street, the 'lake' front (I can't remember if it was a lake or a river) and your hotel, and you'll be fine.

I love NO, and I have personally never had any real problems down there. I have certainly been many more times than most people, living right up I10. I just would advise anyone who hasnt been there to take caution. I would say NO east isnt too far from still looking like a war zone, however. Your advice of staying around the French Quarter area and Lakefront is good...stay where the people are and its OK.
