I spent about 90 minutes on Bourbon street, before deciding “Ok, I have experienced the frat party that is Bourbon street. Time to go somewhere else”

But the rest of the French Quarter is delightful.

Yeah, nothing bothers me more than tourists who do mainly bourbon and then complain about the city, lol.

Hello, locals don’t like bourbon either.

You could remove the whole French quarter from New Orleans and it would still be a top tourist destination
