If you can avoid it do not walk anywhere downtown by yourself or just a guy and a girl by themselves. Try to avoid dimly lit streets in the quarter. There are streets where you always see people either going in or out the quarter on. Stay on those streets. * There will be cops everywhere, if you are lost or need directions, help, etc. ask them. Going up to random people on the street is not a good idea. * Bourbon street is fun IF you are in a group. Even locals know not to go down there with just a couple of people. I would recommend having at least 3 people in your group. Never stray by yourself, you are only asking for trouble.
SIGH. YOU MAKING OUT DOWNTOWN AND BOURBON STREET TO BE LIKE IRAQ? COME ON MAN. like any big city it has its bad areas. i doubt any gumps will be in those areas. they will be fine in downtown. just use common sense.

Of course its not Iraq, but its not Alabama either. I have a feeling it is going to be like Mardi Gras out their the next few days and these are all things locals would pay attention to during Mardi Gras. Just thought I would pass it along.

this. common sense and good judgement. When people are drinking sometimes that goes out the door.

This. I've walked all over downtown New Orleans by myself multiple times every year for 12 years (with one notable exception). It's no different than any other major city. DOn't get black out drunk, walk with a purpose in less populated areas, don't look like a victim. Do those three things and you will be fine.
If someone does hold you up. Just give them your wallet, and live to tell the story.
Things are more fun in groups, but don't stay holed up in your hotel room because you can't find 4 people to walk down to Bourbon with you.
