I am planning on a trip to New Orleans, LA but I heard the crime is bad. Does anyone know about the crime and safe areas in New Orleans?

Answer 1 :
definatly la it is the most awesome place ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Answer 2 :
I lived in New Orleans for 6 years and yes!..The crime is bad, people get shot everyday. Part of that is because the police department is not very strong and many times they don't care and the killers and thieves know that they can get away with bad acts. New Orleans is a small city so there is really not a part of the city that u can call "safe to live". People even get shot on Bourbon St which is where clubs are. So if you are planning for a trip to New Orleans, stay where most of the people are and dont stay up too late at night walking on the streets.
Answer 3 :
I was born and raised in New Orleans. It's dangerous. Especially in the French Quarter at night. Just don't walk alone at night, stay on main streets, and know where you are going. Carry some papper spray if you are very worried.
Answer 4 :
New Orleans made the news because drug characters are killing each other in disputes. However, other crime is at or below the national average for cities. The news media does not (for political correctness reasons) explain the actual motives behind crimes in New Orleans and the result is that average citizens & visitors are made afraid - when they actually don't have to worry about it. The French Quarter is a low crime area. Almost all the violent crime (which is what makes the news) happens in deserted parts of the city late at night, and in areas tourists will only go to if they are trying to buy drugs or engage in some other illegal activity. All anyone needs do to be safe in New Orleans is use the same basic common sense required in every city in the world. You certainly do > not < have to only travel in groups, stay indoors after dark, only take taxis, etc. I don't know where people get the advice they sometimes offer.
Answer 5 :
have lived here all my life and nothing has ever happened to me, my friends, or my family! Stay on lit streets. Stay away from walking along and making yourself look vulnerable. If you do not know where you are going take a cab. United Cab is who I have account with and they are great! United Cab number is 504-522-9771. Stay away from bad, and unlit neighborhoods. As long as you stay away from Drug infested areas you will be fine. Be safe and have FUN! The high touristy areas are fine. Drink! Pat O's, Lafittes Blacksmith shop, Columns Hotel Bar( Not in Quarter But has awesome big porch on st. charles avenue), Absinthe House, , Bombay club Favorite FQ BAR- Lafittes and Pat o's, Carousel Bar Restaurants Brennans, ( Best Brunch) Awesome redfish and turtle soup Jaquimos( Best Alligator Cheesecake and blackened red fish), Dick and Jennys(Love this place! Everything is good. wear jeans!) Rio Mar Coops Napolean House Commanders Palace(MY FAV) Muriels(Turtle Soup, Goat Cheese Crepes, and Pecan crusted drum), Clover Grill Coffee Pot (FAVORITE RED BEANS and breakfast), Upperline, Yummy turtle soup and fish Lilette Gumbo Shop, Napolean House( FAV. LUNCH SPOT), One on Hampson( BEST DUCK GUMBO) Brennans Crepe Nanou (Grilled Amberjack with Bearnaise awesome) Tommys Restaurant Brigtsens( Everything is AWESOME), Yo mama bar and grill( BEST HAMBURGERS) Palace Cafe( BEST PECAN CRUSTED FISH AND BLUE CRAB LEGS), Domileses(awesome poboys, FRIED SHRIMP and Roast Beef are my fav!), Cochon( BEst cochon du lait) Favorite coffee- Cafe du monde Favorite dessert- Commanders Jackson Square, St Louis Cathedral, Cafe Du Monde, Rvierboat(don't eat there the food is terrible) Zoo, Aquarium, Historic New Orleans Collection, Royal St. Antiques, Magazine Street Shopping, Airboat Swamp tour, Mardi Gras World, Ride the Streetcar, Museum- Historic New Orleans Collection, Ogden, Dday, the cabildo, Pharmacy, Confederate Museum, US Mint...

About I'm going on a mission trip to New Orleans and I was wondering what to expect

I'm going on a mission trip to New Orleans and I was wondering what to expect?
My understanding is that I'm going to New Orleans to build houses for poor and homeless. What can I expect? Will there be men with whips there to motivate me to work? Will I be put on a zero-calorie diet in order to help me stay thin? Will I be sold into slavery so I can continue building houses and continue my zero-calorie diet?

Answer 2 :
Mission trips are amazing man. There won't be men with whips or anything like that. As for what to expect. I honestly can't tell you. Because you can go there expecting things to go one way and like this,this and this then God can come in and be like I want u to do this instead (if that makes sence) Just go there and go with what ever happends bc plans can change on a missions trip.
