The plan would be drive down on Thursday, go home Sunday. Trip will be typical tourist stuff. I, of course, want a day at the WWII museum. My wife wants to do a riverboat tour. My daughter wants to do one of the cemetery tours. Then there’s Cafe du Monde and the standard stuff. I’m hesitant due to the deteriorating crime situation there though. We haven’t been there since 2017. How is it during the daytime? What areas should we avoid?

Right now I’m thinking if we do this we will get a hotel outside of the city and only venture in during daylight hours. Advice??

This will end well.

Not knowing how many are in your family, it may be easier to get a hotel in the warehouse district. You can easily walk down to the quarter during the day time, WW2 museum or get an Uber/drive to other locations that you intend on visiting. Reality is, don’t be anywhere near the quarter after 6 or just be aware of your surroundings.

No. But myself, my wife, my son, and my MIL all are CC holders. Arms breakdown:

Myself: .44 Spc
Wife: .38 Spc
Son: 9mm
MIL: 9mm

daughter is only 12 so she’s unarmed but knows how to shoot proficiently.

Jesus Christ. "Stay outside the city and only venture in during daylight?" Seriously? Just stay off Bourbon and out of the Projects after dark. You will be fine.

I’m not scared. Just looking for prudent advice from people who know the area. I’ve not been since 2017.

Nothing has changed since 2017. Or 2007.

Those getting killed are expecting it.
