The Wyndham French Quarter, and hag out with Nora and Tom and Smonster and others.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.
Between the cost of renting a car and the cost of parking at the hotel, my guess is that you probably would do better without one. Other people who have lived there more recently may chime in.
I never rented a car when I visited New Orleans and I did fine. Cabs are pretty cheap. My preference was to walk, take a streetcar out to some destination and then cab back in the afternoon.
Parking in the Quarter is a bitch, so I'd recommend against a car. There are local car rental places on Canal if something comes up. Cabs are a good option around here.
Okay! I will plan on returning the car when I first get there.
We are in NYC and we found us a very wonderful Scola for lunch! Even better yet, when I emailed about the hip locally-sourced hot dog joint we had in mind, Tom said "ooh, right next door to the comics store!"
Which I believe translates as "SCORE".

although, when you call for a cab, do it from your hotel. We discovered that they don't answer calls from non Nola numbers.
Huh, a lot of locals don't have local numbers and I've never heard of this as an issue before.
When we were there for my bday, we both called several times and couldn't get an answer. We called from the hotel phone and they picked up immediately.
I always just hailed a cab, or had the restaurant or bar I was at call them for me (which they were mostly happy to do).
