'''General facts about the city :''''''New Orleans''' is of course amazing. The French Quarter is full of hobo kids as well as drunken vomiting tourist frat boys. A friendly place. Don't let the bullshit about ever since Katrina it's been very dangerous scare you- yeah there are gang war neighborhoods, but if you just hitchhike in you can hang out in the French quarter and be fine. 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 anywhere. Don't worry about bad neighborhoods- you're a bum!

== Hitchhiking out ==
=== West toward [[Baton-Rouge]], [[Lafayette]], [[Houston]], [[Texas|TX]] ===
Get the streetcar (tram) that goes on Canal Street (which runs from the Mississippi river and all the way to a cemetery). I costs $1.25 for one ride or $1.50 for transfer ticket if you get another bus before it. Take it until the last stop, called ''Cemeteries'' (far from the river and you'll see tombs everywhere).
''I used the above guide and got a ride north towards Mississippi in about 2 hours. i was there from 8 in the morning. Very nice location''--[[User:Ottes|Ottes]] ([[User talk:Ottes|talk]]) 00:48, 12 July 2013 (CEST)
=== East towards [[Mobile]], [[Alabama|AL]]; North towards [[Hattiesburg]], [[Mississippi|MS]] ===
Take either the 62 or the 64 bus to where Bullard avenue meets interstate 10 (get off at the McD's). On the south side of the interstate there's a nice long on-ramp with plenty of cars going not too fast, and space for them to pull over (a hard shoulder).
== Eating ==
Loads of free food serves in New Orleans if you're into that sort of thing, the . 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.
