Seriously, even if you are in a gang neighborhood people leave travelers alone- you have a bag/backpack and a cardboard sign- you're basically homeless- you don't belong anywhere/you belong anywheretrickier.

Loads New Orleans is of course amazing. The French Quarter is full of free food serves hobo kids as well as drunken vomiting tourist frat boys. A friendly place. Don't let the bullshit ("ever since Katrina it's been very dangerous") scare you -- yeah, there are gang war neighborhoods, but if you just hitchhike in New Orleans you can hang out in the French quarter and be fine. Even if you're into that sort of thingare in a gang neighborhood, the Hare Krishna dinner is even better than Hare Krishna dinner people usually is and they basically leave travellers alone -- if you alone religiously unless have a bag/backpack and a cardboard sign, don't worry about bad neighborhoods -- you're actually interested.basically a bum!
Oh and even if you look like you're 12 years old you probably won't be carded at all and you can drink in any bar you want. If one place cards you just go to the next place, you can definitely get drunk in New Orleans no matter who you are if you have money. New Orleans loves a drunk person and drunk people love New Orleans. == Hitchhiking out ==
And it's not about Mardi Gras anyways. That's kinda for tourists and kinda too much. New Orleans is a constant party whenever you go. People get off the boat or oil rig they're working on=== West toward [[Baton-Rouge]], come to New Orleans[[Lafayette]], blow all their money[[Houston]], and by the time they're done spending their money they're ready to go back to work on the boat.[[Texas|TX]] ===
BUS :There is From there, even though it's tempting to get straight to the I-10, walk up to City Park Ave, turn right on it and then take a left on Canal Blvd. You'll see a cheap local small loop with 2 bus stops on it (don't walk too far, take the 1st loop). Here, take another bus New Orleans-Baton-Rouge for 5 $ : , the E1 route of the [http://www.laswiftjeffersontransit.comorg/schedules/E1Veterans-Map.htm Jefferson Transit]. It costs $1.50 for which you should have exact change because the driver does not provide any. The E1 route is often called the Veterans' bus since it goes far on Veterans' Blvd.
HITCHHIKING :Hitchhiking WEST toward : BatonYou need to get off before the I-10 on Veterans' Blvd. It's about a 15-Rouge25 minute ride. DON'T GET OFF AT THE FIRST UNDERPASS, Lafayette, Houston, Texas, Mexico, California :Hitchhiking in Louisiana is funny THAT IS THE CAUSEWAY. You'll be on a long boulevard for a while and beautifulyou'll see the highway at some point. Get Just hop off before you pass under it or tell the driver you are a hitchhiker and need to hitchhike to Baton-Rouge and he'll tell you the right spot . Look at the map and you'll get a great ride fast. see where the I personally waited -10 secondsand Veterans Blvd intersect. You need to stop just before it.
Followed all those step and There youwalk to the on-ramp to I-10 West. Use a sign! You'll get a 5 Stars SPOT, LIKE THE SPOT !!!see lot of gas stations on the way.
Get the street car ( its like a tramway, but down there they call it a street car?!?) (http://www.norta.com/) that goes on Canal Street ( start from ''I used the Mississippi river above guide and goes up all the way to got a cemeteries ). 1.25$ one ride or 1north towards Mississippi in about 2 hours.50 for transfer ticket if you get another bus before that.So hop on this street car all the way up to the stop call cemeteries ( This is the last one up far i was there from 8 in the Mississippi river and youmorning. Very nice location''ll see tombs everywhere --[[User:Ottes|Ottes]] ([[User talk:Ottes|talk]])From there00:48, even though tempting to get to the I-10 straight, I strongly advice you to NOT do that except if you are a girl you a crazy bas ass lucky hitchhiker. There is just no room for car to stop but take a guess if you feel so. 12 July 2013 (CEST)
So at this time you'll get to another bus, the jefferson transit ( http://www.jeffersontransit.org/schedules/E1Veterans-Map.htm ) , 1.5$ and prepare exact money, no change there ! From the street car, walk up to city park avenue, turn right on it and after take left on Canal Blvd. You'll see a small loop with 2 bus stops on it ( don't walk too far, take the 1st loop ) . There, at the left bus stop you get the "Jefferson Transit " that comes around every 30 minutes. You need to hop on the E1 route : http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=116287600687409230633.00044b7975c7ce390c427&llEast towards [[Mobile]], [[Alabama|AL]]; North towards [[Hattiesburg]], [[Mississippi|MS]] =29.993746,-90.185223&spn=0.112545,0.160675&z=13Down there they call this bus the Veterans bus since it goes far on Veteran's Blvd.
You need Take either the 62 or the 64 bus to where Bullard avenue meets Interstate 10 (get off before at the I-10 on VeteransMcDeath' Blvds). Its about 15/25 minutes ride. YouOn the south side of the interstate there'll be on s a nice long Blvd for a while and you'll see at some point the HighWayon-ramp with plenty of cars going not too fast, just hop off before you pass under it or tell the driver you are a hitchhiker and need space for them to hitchhiker to Baton-Rouge he'll tell you the spot. Look the map and you'll see where the I-10 and Veterans Blvd crossed. You need to stop just before itpull over (a hard shoulder).
There you walk on Once out of the city, it's a good idea to stop at the OnI-10/US-Ramp, GET A SIGN, 190 junction in Slidell. There is a large truck stop there and you'll see lot plenty of gaz station on rides across the wayGood luck, for more info Dumont_376@hotmailcountry.com

Get the streetcar (tram) that goes on Canal Street (which runs from the Mississippi river and all the way to a cemetery). It's recommended to go to The Abbey bar on Decatur streetcosts $1.25 for one ride or $1. Ask 50 for a transfer ticket if you get another bus before it everyone will know where . Take it is. Just a really good dark until the last stop (''Cemeteries'', far from the river, and comfortable bar, often seems to be full of hobosyou'll see tombs everywhere).
== Eating ==
There are loads of free food options in New Orleans if you're into that sort of thing. The Hare Krishna dinner (Sundays at 8PM at 2936 Esplanade) is even better than Hare Krishna dinner usually is, and they basically leave you alone religiously unless you're actually interested.
[http://www.bestofneworleans.com/gambit/free-bar-food/Content?oid=1279433 This link] is a bit out of date, but it shows lots of places that serve free/cheap food!
