Thanks Lizz0rd, I just love to smell the variety of some of the foods coming outside from some of these places while hearing various styles of music as I walk along the street. It definitely sets the tone for me. Yes, it would be it would be tough to avoid as there are many pubs at nearly every street you turn.

I go to a bar every day, but have no problem staying sober. I just go to eat and drink a Coke. My total alcohol intake for the last week was about an ounce of beer and two sips of whiskey. It's not that I'm a prude, I just got tired of waking up with a headache. Having said all that, nobody gives me a hard time when I'm not drinking and it's gotten to the point where the bar owners are relying on me to help them resolve issues with the neighborhood. In New Orleans, live and let live means just that- nobody's going to force a drink down your throat, but if your thing is getting **** faced, then as long as you don't bother anybody, that's fine too.
Nice pics, however for those of you who don't know the pics are all within a 10 block radius if that, the area that looks like that is very small, not impressed

Yeah see that is too much, its fun for the weekend but I know that is somewhat the culture there. I go to a bar maybe once a month if that normally, just not my thing. But if I go to a trip to New Orleans, I might go to 10 in a weekend. But then I won't want to be around alcohol for quite awhile. I'm more of a book store or sitting in a quiet park person.

I like coffee shops, parks, museums, art galleries and walking around and New Orleans is and always will be my favorite city. There's a lot more to do here than just drink.

Small enough to pack huge dense crowds like the "Madis Gras"

Oh I definitely did that also. Not my favorite city, but it's up there. It seems like drinking and general rambunctioness (sp?) is part of the culture there though, quite an extroverted and expressive city...and I'm a total introvert. I can only handle so much of it, not just the bar but other things associated.
that is definitely NOT just a 10 block radius... NO is hopping elsewhere... Frenchmen, Esplanade, the gorgeous areas around City Park, Uptown and Loyola... all cool streets and outside those. Don't think he shows Canal or Decatur street at all either, two main streets.
I'm sure others can comment more, but those are usually areas I frequent when I visit...
If New Orleans was a metropolis of 4 or 5 million this would be a great comparison for San Francisco. I love both cities but if I had to pick one to visit it would be New Orleans and San Francisco to live in. The more I think about it the more it makes me wonder how narrow my 'places to live' list is becoming, I can live in maybe 9 places total in the U.S.
