The other answers have good stnseguiogs. I recommend staying in the French Quarter (Vieux Carre ) if you can. There is a very wide range of selections available, from moderate guest houses to very exclusive boutique hotels. Search Yahoo Travel and Travelocity for ideas + check the hotel websites.Katrina flooded about 80% of New Orleans with salt water, and the water stayed for almost a month. Much of the city is still struggling to recover and all you have to do to see devastation is drive around. It will take years for NOLA to fully recover from Katrina.However, the parts of the city that tourists usually visit were not flooded. It's not a coincidence the French Quarter and other old parts of the city were built on relatively high ground and only suffered wind damage from Katrina. Almost all of the damage has been repaired and you have to look closely in the FQ and city center to see that Katrina happened at all. You should visit and see for yourself.You can drink the water, the electricity phones work, and services like the post office, hospitals, schools, police/fire/EMS, and stores shopping centers are operating. Municipal services like street cleaning trash collection collapsed after Katrina and that is why you may see answers warning about the “smelly� or dirty French Quarter. Those services were fully restored in late 2006 and it is no longer an issue.You don't need a car to get around in the French Quarter, Central Business District, or Warehouse District. Also, the parking regulations are Byzantine and there are lots of Parking Control Agents. If you drive or rent a car, leave it in a lot or garage unless you are traveling away from downtown. The regional transit authority (www.norta.com) sells 1 and 3 day passes that offer unlimited use of buses and streetcars for the day(s) you select. There are also lots of taxicabs.Regarding crime, about 98% of the murders shootings in New Orleans involve disputes between drug characters and almost all of the other 2% are domestic incidents. The situation was the same before Katrina except there are LESS murders shootings now. That doesn't make the crimes OK, but you really don't have to worry about it unless you plan to buy or sell crack cocaine in New Orleans. Use the same common sense you need in every major city in the world and there is little chance you will be a victim of anything except a need to visit the gym: Pay attention to your surroundings. Stay away from anywhere dark deserted. Pay attention to your feelings if anyone or anywhere gives you a bad feeling, leave the area. Don't leave something like a camera-bag or backpack unattended on a park bench while you wander off to take photos. Etc.Summers here are hot humid, particularly in July and August take it easy or stick to indoor activities during the middle of the day at that time of year. The good news for summer visitors is that hotel prices are usually lower.Hope you have a good trip!
