Dude with the gun wants the po boy and I think he's justified in his actions
Innuendobot5000
I was led to believe by a very well-made documentary that there were talking frogs too.

I got offered coke on the street in Nola. No random stranger has ever offered me coke before. It was endearing
wemustbestopped12
Haven’t been there for 8 years but at that time in my life, the French Quarter was my favorite place in the continental U.S.

You forgot flipped cars!
lysso611
And I love it.

You need not convince me! I want to reenact Homer Simpsons tour of food in new Orleans

The crime isn't happening where you are if you're a tourist. Stay by SuperDome all the way to Jackson Square/River mall and you're fine
MutantTurd
Lived there for 3 years post Katrina and met my wife there. That city will always have my heart... but I will never live there again.
RobearGWJ
Nothing about the smell of Bourbon Street? Hint - It ain't Bourbon...
kjb72
Well, some of it might be. For about six months after my visit I would remember the smell of the area and gag.
RobearGWJ
I just prefer the smell of bourbon that goes in, not the smell of bourbon that came out... :-)
nerad137
You forgot the bar streets that smell like the I side of a porta potty holding tank.

Hey, @op, we miss ya, too - come by your momma n 'em's soon, ya heard me?

You ain’t missing much bruh. People getting carjacked in broad day light on the regular these days.

New Orleans definitely has its charms. But I glad I moved out three years ago.
BORGALOOGIE
So many poor boys…
EroticZombiePants
The first picture applies to literally ever remotely big city in America.
ImpliedConsent
Yea, but New Orleans is actually fairly small. Even the metro area would barely compromise a big city. It’s like Hartford, CT size.
Dimr3ver
Who dat!
cptyarderho
Me of my all time favorite cities, we go as often as we can.
ICampOntheFirstDate
New Orleans: Some of the best cuisine ever, steeped in culture, and some of the most inexplicably batshit drivers to ever grace a highway.
ialwaysburnthebacon
Most accurate statement ever. currently driving in and out multiple times a week to the children's hospital...drivers are insane.
ICampOntheFirstDate
I've driven all across the country for fun and can't explain N.O. Doesn't come close to the worst traffic out there, but it is the craziest.

ICampOntheFirstDate
Hard to explain, but I'll try. Imagine a disproportionate amount of 1994 Mustangs with torn headliners and drivers that straight DGAF. 1/2
ICampOntheFirstDate
They will jump in front going 30 below the limit, accelerate to 30 above, change lanes at random, and somehow blindly near-miss you 5 times.

Everything I learned about New Orleans, I learned from Deeps Space 9
purdhapley
I go to New Orleans for the music and stay for the debauchery.
freckledkink
Yep. I always thought Sin City was the better name for New Orleans. And Las Vegas' slogan. Because what happens there, stays there. Or you
freckledkink
Get fed to the gators.
worldsbiggestnickelbackfan
Was there before New Years. Got to watch a hobo fight while drinking a hand grenade while my wife ordered coffee at Starbucks.
kenewe10zgunaskor
That’s disrespectful to call them hobos. Tramps is the preferred nomenclature.

Plenty of free entertainment.

MythIncarnate
Fried shrimp as far as I can tell.
BeesechurgerProductions
I had no idea, I was just making an observation. Apparently Imgur thought it was a bad joke.
MythIncarnate
Imgur is protective of its poboys. Mostly 'cause they're fuckin' amazing.
benchp300
I had a fried catfish Po boy when I was doing relief work after Katrina. I will never forget....
ImbetterthanOKImHomerSimpson
I want a po boy
Hibbtygibitty
Parkway is superb. Central Grocery for muffalottas. Town cares about food. Sets them apart from other cities.

I need a po’boy from New Orleans
SmeesNotVeryGoodTwin
I once walked past a shop in California selling po'boys for $12. Talk about missing the point.
jimfalconer611
Is that what they Call getting mugged in the highway underpass?
ligmabolz
I lived in New Orleans. I mugged in my own bathroom
fformulaa
Heh, i read that as, you mugged yourself in the bathroom ?
kamesha
It's the only way he can feel alive anymore
thefuzziestofbutts
French quarter market place was the best alligator po boy I've ever had. Loved how vibrant and lively everything was.
RobearGWJ
Alligator is delicious when it's fresh. Frozen... Rubber chicken.
armagetz
I hate how they fry it so often.Breaded and fried food typically tastes the same. If you are gonna give me exotic meat:blackened all the way
RobearGWJ
Aww yisss, mother-f'in blackened gator!
thefuzziestofbutts
Very true!
Zreen
I only knew of New Orleans as "that place that got really hit hard by Katrina"
thatmugthatsyourfavourite
And I've heard because of that, people there have nothing to lose and it can be quite dangerous. Would love to go but that makes me hesitant
freckledkink
Nope. It's been a sinking city since it was founded. A lot of people moved to Houston after Katrina when the 9th ward got flooded. In the
freckledkink
90s, New Orleans had the highest murder rate per capita. People go for debauchery and dirty politics. They done see the great parts of it.
adognamedpumpkin
If you have the opportunity, check it out. It’s a wonderful city and something of a separate reality.
ThrowAwayAcct0000
Its a trashy, American version of Paris, built in a literal swamp. I think mosquitos might be the state bird there. The food is amazing tho
freckledkink
They didn't get hit by Katrina. The levees broke after and it got flooded. Katrina caused some wind damage on the high rises (like broken
freckledkink
Windows). The Mississippi Gulf Coast got completely erased by Katrina. 33' storm surge came in and washed away homes and buildings
freckledkink
That had been there a couple of hundred years and survived Camille (which is the one that caused them to start classifying hurricanes and
freckledkink
Landed in the same spot). New Orleans was an infrastructure man-made problem. Not a hurricane problem. Yet all the relief went to them.
Wubbalubbadubdubb101
So is the street construction done in the French Quarter yet?
freckledkink
It's a quarter done. Then they'll have to redo another quarter. And another....
fistermatic5000
Yeah. But now they have to start back at the beginning again.
FrankTheCube
It wasn’t when I was there in October.
SarcasticComment
Lol. I was there for New Years just a year before the pandemic, they were still working on it.
jacourtneyart3
As a walking tour guide I can confirm. HAHAHAHAH....no
XplodingUnicornGlitter
Was there last month - nope.
Audiopatch
Just got back from there. Prefer Frenchman St over Bourbon.
moustacheofdeath
Frenchman st. is great! Had the best (and worst unrelated to NO) times there. Would deffo return!
JumpTheCheeseburger
I’m going back next month. Bourbon St is kinda overrated, Frenchman St is where the real music is at. Overall though I love the city.
adognamedpumpkin
Frenchman is for an actual good time. Bourbon is to say you went to Bourbon.
fistermatic5000
Frenchman is where the locals go. Blue Nile was my favorite spot.
JumpTheCheeseburger
I’ve been there too, great spot.
LordSkippyTheMagnificent
Love the Blue Nile and the Apple Barrel.
LordSkippyTheMagnificent
So does everyone.
marthafarquar
My ship went to New Orleans and I got 4 hours ashore, went to Bourbon St, had a Hurricane at Pat O'Brien's, got robbed by the taxi driver.
cdude666
Bourbon street is a tourist trap shit hole, there’s nothing there but trouble. Next time try the places in the quarter away from bourbon.
ISellLies
So better than normal experience?
samwyze
Those Hurricanes had me waking up on the sidewalk.
littlecoatfatguy
Everclear will do that.
LordSkippyTheMagnificent
Ubers are way more upscale on New Orleans, and the Taxis hate it.
XplodingUnicornGlitter
Lyft driver stole my phone. Lyft refused to do anything about it.

Corporations don't give a shit about you. All they want is your money. Fuck 'em.
AFistfulOfDollHairs
Like did they snatch it out of your pocket? You need a baton or something.
XplodingUnicornGlitter
It fell out of my pocket as I was getting out of the car. I hadn’t even shut the door all the way before I said”hey hang o-“and he drove off
morebooksthanmusic
I lived there for four months in the late ninety's, and I only got shot once.

morebooksthanmusic
I was a Mormon missionary walking down the street past a group of children on a stoop and one of them shot me in the butt with a bb gun.
superkavi
I misread this and thought you said BBL gun
somuchusername
A great story that might be lost here in the comments, but still a great story.
SkycladNightStroller
I heard it too
InTangier
Are you still a mormon missionary these days?
morebooksthanmusic
Nope, but if you willing talk about atheism, I would love to convert you to that.
thelazyninja
Friend of mine went to school there. Said never to touch any surface of Bourbon St. with bare hands due to the sheer volume of body fluids.
ithinkchaos
Yes, I too don't touch city streets with my barehands...what a strange coincidence.
nero4ty2
Rule also applies to walks, lampposts, tables, chairs, basically anything outside
VoicesByJAE
There a few years ago for a bachelor party. First time I've ever witnessed a public shit, just like...right there in the street. At 2pm haha
leaflover27
I was impressed by a steaming pile of vomit in the street at 5 pm.
SerenePrincess013
That applies to anywhere in the Quarter.
onecowboytoo
Bourbon St. is what we call your mom.
Jacksmashsteel
People from the bills mafia were laying on BS petting drugged up cats and dogs. I almost barfed
Iwouldbenick
Just went there last November. We saw 2 bums fucking in the middle of the street. It was neat.
tuckerx78
They were showing Southern hospitality.
BenderBendingRrodriguez
Don't get excited, it's mostly piss
HorriblyPositive
Well now I'm excited.
ddet1207
Username checks out?
ScienceHarder
And vomit. Oh, god, so much vomit. The entire city smells like vomit, even though they hose down the streets every morning.
itsallaboutthecones
That's because they hose it down using vomit! It's called recycling, ever heard of it?
thelazyninja
Why don't they just use all the piss to wash away all the vomit?
itsallaboutthecones
Because that's used as the base for brewing the NOLA Blonde Ale. Again, it's like y'all know nothing!

Ohhh, I thought you were the john or as we call it in Sweden, ”torsk” (cod)
Sage042000
Nah. If I wanted to pay for it, I'd go to a massage parlor or something. At the very least, I trust that they have a reputation to uphold.
Sage042000
/2 blackout drunk with hoes. You could tell whether or not a guy just got robbed by how fast she went through the lobby on her way out.
Sage042000
/3 but only those 2 guys were dumb enough to suggest calling the cops. Others you just saw rushing out a few minutes later after them.

Last time I was there, a pimp offered me 2 very obese Hispanic prostitutes. I declined.
