Halloween and New Years are a lot like Mardi Gras without the tourists and more kids and private parties respectively IME. Weather in October sort of varies, depending on how late the hurricane season runs. It could be a chilly, wet and 50 degrees sort of October or it could be 80 degrees and a continuation of August & September. Things to note:I-10. Seriously, it's like this great big Un-New Orleans bridge-looking sucker stretching across the city. Superdome. I always thought it looked smaller on the outside than it does on the inside. UNO & Loyola. They really do sort of have their own neighborhoods and tone. I think they're supposed to be tearing down the old Convent in the Quarter, but I always though it was cool.And never forget those bars that are behind the other bars- Doors that don't seem to lead to anywhere in alleyways are often the most bizarre places to drink imaginable. Buildings inside the blocks I guess? I've never been during the day so I could check thoroughly.</blockquote>
