Try to hit Peche for lunch. (Crab in broth or fish & chips....they are worth it)
If you want to go upscale & not worried about $ you will have to try August....one of my top restaurants in the US behind Th French Laundry, Ad Hoc, Topolabongo (sp?) & Fontera

Strangely, they don't really "beg" or otherwise panhandle for money per se in New Orleans. They offer to "bet" you $10 if they can guess something about you (e.g., "I bet I know where you got your shoes," or "I bet I know how many kids your momma had"). Technically, you're still getting hustled by them, but the panhandlers seem to feel that they are actually earning their pay this way, much like the street musicians earn tips, etc.

Best response I have heard to this, "I bet I know how you got them broken teeth"

NO has some pretty bad areas but has some very unique areas you'll have a hard time duplicating. Stay in decent parts of town, it's a great experience for a few days.

Things about Alabama
If you have the most teeth in your town you are considered snobby.
If you have a double wide, you are rich.
Chances are you are dating a family member.
Most tide fans have no clue where Tuscaloosa is.
Electricity is a luxury.
The thing is though, none of that is true.

Like all 1700s-era building districts that are still in existence, the French Quarter has a lot of dark, gas-lit alley ways--just like the ones that Jack the Ripper himself used to hang out in old East London. Stay out of those poorly-lit alleys and you should be fine for the most part.

I would take all those things you listed and live in Alabama, than live in New Orleans.
