[IL-Talk] New Orleans

[Bruce C. Paul]

Hi,
I have a flight to New Orleans for the week of the NFB Convention. I could use a room starting July 9 until July 13, I fly out on July 13. I am going to be a tourist for a few days before convention. I think I have a room, though I might just find a room when I fly in on July 6.
I could use advice on what to see. Ostensibly, I will see the City with my sister, but she often has work plans. How difficult is it to get reservations for dining? How dangerous is New Orleans compared to Chicago? I am a hesitant tourist, since I had some bad trips a few years ago. I can share contact information with anyone who will attend convention in July.
Thanks,BCP
