Frequently Asked Questions...
Due to tornadoes, should I cancel my holiday plans at New Orleans?
After the recent (April 2011) tornadoes, do you think I should cancel my holiday plans at New Orleans, Mississippi this May 16th - May 20th, 2011? I'm planning to spend most of the time during those 5 days duration at the French Quarter, New Orleans. This is the only chance I can visit there since I will be leaving the United States for good this June. Thanks.
Answer:
No, you don't need to change your plans. Southern Louisiana was > not < affected by the recent storms.
This link illustrates the areas that were affected:

About certain alcoholic beverages: Realize that some famous drinks are VERY potent compared with regular cocktails that have only 1 to 1 ½ ounces of alcohol. For example, a Hurricane is basically 3 or 4 ounces of rum in something like red Kool-Aid, and a Hand Grenade has at least 4 ½ ounces of Everclear + rum + vodka mixed with melon liquor. They don’t necessarily taste like an alcoholic beverage and it is easy to over-indulge.
There is always music, but the bands change: Go to www.bestofneworleans.com and click on Music then Listings or to www.offbeat.com and click on Listings, then Music.
Note that music clubs often advertise "No Cover", meaning there is no charge for entering. However, clubs with "No Cover" often require that customers buy a beverage each for every "set" of music (which can be every 20 minutes) so KNOW THE PRICE before you sit down. Clubs do that because some people will sit in the club all evening drinking nothing (clubs only make money from the drinks they sell - not from the music). It is also a good idea to pay for each round of drinks (in clubs on Bourbon Street) as it is delivered so there can't be any confusion at the end of the evening.
Louisiana is one of only two US states that offer tax-free shopping for international visitors, but not all merchants participate in the programs: http://www.louisianataxfree.com/
Purchases of art in New Orleans may be tax-exempt for everyone: http://www.crt.state.la.us/culturaldistricts/DistrictMaps.aspx
I hope you have a great time!
