Yep. See Bourbon St. for about 5 minutes and run away fast...But there are aspects of NO that make me fall in love too whenever I go back. Marigny, Warehouse District, Garden District, Uptown, Upper Esplanade.... lots of cool micro areas off the beaten path. I've always had a strong love/hate relationship with the city. It has a very strong pull, but it's so dysfunctional. And it's so unlike NY. So much more casual and laid back. Kind of a time warp.
