We will be staying in NOLA for a couple of nights prior to our cruise. We will be there 1.25.07-1.27.07 (a Thursday and Friday night).

 

All I have every really seen of Bourbon Street and the French Quarter consists of partiers, drunks and pickpockets that are rampant during Mardi Gras. Now, I know that this area is normally not like this but the media seems to only show us the extreme.

 

Was wondering, for those in the know, what is it like down there during the time that I am going? Is it going to be insane crowded, with people all over the place? Will it be more subdued and quiet? I'm assuming that Thursday would be a quieter night then Friday, but is Friday crazy?

 

I hear that the police have upped their presence down there and that it is pretty safe. Is this still true? Should my DH and myself be safe walking around in the evening?

 

Thanks for all your help!!
