“Locals don’t go to Bourbon Street.” Yes they do. They f*cking do. Maybe not party, some even live there, THAT intersection is a major thoroughfare. I have picked up private tours at THAT crowne plaza and the Hard Rock Cafe. I have bought band aids at that CVS. I have caught parades on that part of canal after work. I have gotten on the street car on Royal, which is a block up, and frequently go to the Saenger which is two blocks away. I have stayed at the Roosevelt which is ACROSS THE STREET.
