@ccraft: I actually live a few hours away in Shreveport but I've been to New Orleans more times than I can count. St. Roch and the ninth ward are notoriously bad neighborhoods with extremely high levels of crime. St. Roch street is infamous for tourist beatings by large groups of attackers. Last year alone over four tourists a night were sent to the hospital due to beatings.
The World War Two museum is a must see, so is Bourbon Street, the Zoo, the mall, and arguably the best restaurant in the city: Acme Oyster House. Also try the Cathedral, Jackson Square, and the French quarter but steer clear of the ninth ward and st. Roch street at night.
