The tourism areas of New Orleans and the French Quarter are in great shape and in need of your visit and gracious souvenir spending. You can easily walk to most places, unless you have a special destination in mind that the locals point out or you just want to explore.
Hail a cab to ease over to the Marigny side of the quarter on Frenchman St. and the jazz and latin beat. Maybe you head uptown to dinner at Commanders Palace, or to Emeril's in the warehouse district. If you crave a funky local club outside the quarter, it's no problem and little time to get there other than deciding which show to head to!
Midnight at the hotel and still up for more? Indeed New Orleans doesn't close. Nearby and jumping includes House of Blues or Preservation Jazz Hall. Yes, you can even get from the hotel to Pat O'Brien's on foot. It's a quick couple of blocks, head up Iberville and across on Bourbon if you keep your eyes front and don't get distracted!
