I'm going with my girlfriend to New Orleans next Friday, and will be leaving next Monday. We'll miss Fat Tuesday because I need to get back for work, but I figure we'll still get to enjoy enough parties. We're driving, should arrive Friday evening, and will be staying in a motel about 10 miles from the French Quarter.
I'd like advice and suggestions, both on how to safeguard ourselves amid the chaos, and how to enjoy it. Considering that it's Mardi Gras, I figure there will be less of an opportunity to enjoy 'normal' tourist-y things because of the crowds, but we'll have some time, so what should be on the top of our list? What restaurants have the best "quality to waiting-for-effing-ever-to-eat" ratio? How does the New Orleans mass transit system work, or should we just get use taxis?
Thanks in advance.
