What a shit hole, no offense. The usual shit, Cafe Du Monde, Jackson square, Bourbon street, the Super dome, Canal street, voodoo tourist traps and so on.
The good news is it will still be relatively warm in November.
I saw my very first dead body there.

i guess it depends on what you like and what to do and see..
first tip.... anything off the tourist paths are pretty damn rough.... do not let your better half carry a purse... or if she does, nothing of import in it. NO.... is not a safe placeI am a person of tint....lol....i agree however with syr ...dont carry a purse or wear any jewels of value....gold chains are just yanked off ya
marie leveau grave is pretty cool... a run down grave yard...in a VERY bad place. If you can, go in a group you will be safer...and even then you are not safe. They wait for the tourist to rob. If you go, bring a sharpie marker and a some spare change..... You will know it by the the XXX on it and the small offerings.....
kk she is just being a wee bit paranoid....the graveyard is right off the quarter...dont sign up for a tour that is a waste of money...but here is what you do....the graveyard is next to a high rise slum building...where the thugs may sit and watch the graveyard..they can be down there...rob ya and be back in front of the wide screen in 5 minutes max...go to the graveyard and wait for a tour to arrive...dont try to get in with them but just kinda hang around them....safety in numbers and all that....
walk the quarter... lots of bars and restaurants..... listen for the music, its not hard to find. I was very disappointed by the quarter....we are morning people and have never been in a place where they street sweep every day....with Lysol. It truly is a disgusting place. There is a voodoo place, nice old creepy building.. lots of tourist junk. Voodoo made in china.... i don't think so. I don't remember just were, but i can see it in my head... if she is into it, there is a small custom perfumery. If you must have some voodoo stuff.... there are two places... and damn it i cant remember just were... its made there in the quarter. Not creepy looking just store fronts.... I got some smudge things for a friend trying to rid her house of all traces of her recent ex and a couple of dolls (no not the kind with pins)... but for decoration at Halloween....they were made there in the swamps by some woman....or so they said.
of course there is cafe du monde for Chicory coffee and Beignets..... go to say you went. I was not impressed with the beignets and did not like the coffee. no shit...the beignets are sugared to death
sadly, you will miss the po boy festival.... but seek them out..... a po boy is a MUST. So is a good mufflutta sandwich.
again community grocery just off the quarter for the muffeletta
Its not high season for live crayfish... but i am sure you can find crawfish something there.
if you are looking for a shack.... try this place
Casanova's Seafood - Saint Bernard, LA
if you are adventurers... try some alligator.
if you are really adventurous.... try some nutria if you can find it!
get your fortunes read.... a very NO thing.
if you must have some beads..... buy them.
google everything you are interested in.
