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.

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.
