Hi, all!
My wife and I are going to New Orleans Fri. Never been there. Never been East of Dodge City, frankly. I've reluctantly concluded it would be too big of a hassle to carry there, as we are flying down, then going on a cruise ship on Sunday that takes us to several foreign ports where guns are a no-no.
So, since I won't be carrying, which areas should I absolutely stay out of (particularly after consuming, which I understand is de rigeur and plan to do quite well). I've heard the French Quarter and around the port is a no-no after dark. Pity - we're staying at the Hilton near there.
I'd also like a recommendation of where to shop, what to see, gun-related or no, and special recommends as to where to eat. Good music is abundant there, I hear, particularly where there is a jazz festival that week (isn't it that way every week, though?), so I'd like some ideas as to where we can hear some of the best.
I apologize if this is not gun-related enough; I just want recommendations of where to be and eat and drink since I'm going to be unarmed.
Thanks all!
