would like some basics about getting the most out of what I assume will be a very crazy weekend..but I guess it can always be crazy..
I will be arriving Saturday and going to a big costume party that night and plan on staying at the Maison Dupuy. I will be leaving Tues afternoon.
What should we not miss what should we avoid?
Any responses would be great
Newbie for Halloween in New Orleans and I ...
Hard to answer the ';can%26#39;t miss'; things without knowing what you like, but I%26#39;d say here are the top options:
Royal Street (antiques/galleries)
Bourbon Street (bars!)
Aquarium of the Americas/IMAX
Harrah%26#39;s Casino
French Market
Frenchmen Street in the Marigny
Garden District
St. Charles Avenue
Magazine Street (more antiques/galleries)
Downtown Museums (WW2, Southern Art and Civil War)
Are you going to the Project Lazarus Halloween 24 party on Saturday? It%26#39;s amazing.

Yes that is the party I am attending have you been maybe some tips for a first timer there would be great also
My husband and I were there last Halloween for the Vampire Lestat Ball and our anniversary.
Besides the balls, we found that Halloween was really no different. We went to the The Cult on Halloween night at the HOB which was a total nightmare (another story on it%26#39;s own lol)
But other then that we hung out on Bourbon and Decantur Streets in costumes. A lot of people were dressed up and it as busy, but as for special events we were disappointed.
The Halloween parties for Project Lazarus are among the biggest in the country. This year%26#39;s party is at Sugar Mill on Convention Center Blvd, a venue which I%26#39;ve been to often. It%26#39;s great! I believe the Saturday event provides a large chunk of the Lazarus budget, too, so you%26#39;re doing a good deed while having fun.
bbwvixen, I might add that 2006 probably wasn%26#39;t a ';typical'; year as the New Orleans tourism economy was still rebuilding at that time. Crowds at Halloween are usually quite large and quite festive and it%26#39;s one of the best street parties anywhere. I have no idea what 2007 will bring but I imagine it to be larger than 2006!
The website for the Project Lazarus charity party: www.halloweenneworleans.com. It%26#39;s actually four days of events.
bump any more info advice?
