I think that 4chan should allow you to post the same thread on more than one board. That way your /biz/ input and your /trv/ input will be in the SAME THREAD. So yeas /biz/ and /trv will be in the same thread
Differen't boards, same thread.
I am going to New Orleans this weekend, OP. How about you?

Saturday the 12

You'll be surprised how little of the city actually looks like OP's pic.
It's bizarre developers didn't even take that into consideration.
>>1089411
Neat, dude. Do you got any big plans? I have no clue what to do.
>>1089391
Im in houma, 45 mins south of new orleans. Come visit me mang.
>>1089413
Same here, that's why I asked

That's because OP's pic is in the French Quarter, and they have regulations that are strictly enforced regarding the building facade. The guide of my walking tour took us to a really fancy building and had us guess what was inside. People were guessing restaurants, boutique, post office... turned out to be a parking garage.
For things to do, stroll around the French Quarter and do some window shopping. There's a Museum of Pharmacy that is supposed to be pretty good/humorous; apparently the guide talks about medicine through the ages and why they ended up killing people instead of helping. If you like walking tours then definitely do one for the French Quarter as it is rife with history. The Presbytyre (right next to the cathedral) has a museum for Hurricane Katrina and Mardi Gras which I enjoyed.
Check out the French Market by the river; walk along the riverfront. There's an aquarium you can go to and you can take a ferry for cheap to Algiers (across the river) for $2. People were recommending the ferry just for the view although FYI apparently it breaks down a lot so if you're in a time crunch, you may want to skip it.
Visit City Park; it's very big and nice to just walk around. The Museum of Art located there is OK; not a must-see but a good way to kill 2 hours. The sculpture garden outside is free.
I wouldn't recommend the Garden District unless you like looking at architecture. I did a walking tour and it was cool seeing residences of famous people (Payton and Eli Manning's childhood home, Anne Rice's, Sandra Bullock's, etc). I did the tour at Lafayette Cemetery here and I liked it. The cemetery's are pretty cool.
I didn't go to the National WW2 museum but apparently it's gigantic - there are tanks in there, for example.
Not sure what you can do at night. My biggest issue with NOLA is that there was nothing to do from 6-9p. Everything seems to shut down by 6 so my group was basically in a perpetual state of drunkeness all night.

Forgot to mention that Cafe du Monde (the place everyone recommends you get beignets and cafe au lait) is 24hr. Weather permitting, it's better to go up to the Carry Out window and order your stuff, then sit at one of the tables right outside.
>>1089413
Where are you staying at?
Go to the ww2 museum. You won't regret it.

Outside of New Orleans by a lake.

Piss in an alley, get mugged.
Nothing worth seeing is outside of this red area.
Seriously, don't leave here. Spend a lot of time in the French quarter then take the St. Charles streetcar down a ways and look at all the pretty houses. Go to the Marigny and Bywater to see hipster shit. Freret street and Magazine street have some of the best restaurants in town. I'd take a stroll down Magazine just to look at all the shops there too. Make sure you get beignets at cafe du monde just to say you did. Croissant d'or is also one of my favorite places in the quarter because of the ambiance. Don't wear Mardi Gras beads and don't spend more than .5 seconds on Bourbon if you aren't getting drunk.
guys help me out, I needs a hostel for tomorrow and cant find anything :(

>>1090387
