Hurricanes, Hand Grenades, and Voodoo: Things NOT to do in New Orleans

About This Quiz

New Orleans is my favourite city in the USA. I've visited there about 8 times ro see live music and football games. The food and the architecture are amazing too. However, the time of the year you go is significant. In the summer, the humidity is overwhelming. During Mardi Gras, the crowds are far too big. Stray from the tourist areas, you will encounter some of the poorest parts of the country (and a high crime rate too). This quiz will guide you about things NOT to do in New Orleans.
