I reckon it comes down to how much debauchery you want to get into as a middle aged man. Once you are drunk which I assume is what most of the fans will be, really how much different are the bars at that point?
Well, I'll plead guilty to a little middle-aged debauchery last year. I would say that, for anyone who's enjoyed an evening in the Quarter, they're unlikely to confuse it with an evening in Uptown Charlotte (or probably anywhere else).
But it's not just the booze. It's the food, the music, the street art, the culture, Jackson Square... it's just unique. May not be for everyone, but there's a reason many people love it.
As I noted before, i took my wife and kids (ages 9 and 5) and they had a ball in New Orleans. We stayed in the heart of the French Quarter, ate Beneits at all hours of the day, toured the Quarter and waterfront, watched the street performers, ate awesome food, and even saw a traditional Wedding march through the streets. My wife and I enjoyed the walk up bars and sipped beers as we toured the Square. At the market, they had free pictures with a cajun santa, free crafts for the kids, a petting zoo and different activities. Over by the casino, one of the hotels had a bunch of christmas lights. If you wanted to make it a family-friendly trip, it absolutely had the elements for that. We stayed out late both nights and saw your regular drunk folks, one girl passed out on the street with her friends, but it just provides me an opportunity to show my kids what being stupid will get you. They do not think much about it and i can promise you that is low on the list of things they remembered about the trip.
