While there are many incredible things to see and do in The Big Easy, some think that Bourbon Street is the least pleasant part of the city.
Bourbon Street can get out of hand quickly, especially during Mardi Gras. People indulge in alcohol and then throw themselves into a massive crowd of others doing the same.
After you battle the rough crowds and immoral behaviors, the food and drinks are costly. Mixed drinks are likely to cost upwards of $16+ per drink.
With so much alcohol, it’s only a matter of time before someone has to go to the bathroom. However, urine isn’t the only stench you’ll likely experience on Bourbon Street.
You’re not paying for the food or drinks on Bourbon Street; you’re paying for the experience. We’re not trying to insult the restaurants on Bourbon Street, but the food is just ok.
