running

Hi,

Is it safe for a female to go running alone in New Orleans? I%26#39;ll be there on Saturday for the JazzFest and would like to get in a couple of runs while I%26#39;m there. I%26#39;m staying on Frenchman St. This is my first trip to New Orleans, so not sure what to expect.

Thanks for any suggestions or comments.

Yup, it%26#39;s fine to go running during the daytime hours. A lot of people choose to run along the Moonwalk (alongside the river). If you%26#39;re willing to head Uptown/Garden District, I like to run along the streetcar line or around Audubon Park.

And I have friends that simply run the blocks in the Quarter.

Running the riverfront is nice, the sidewalks are much more smooth than you will find in the streets or sidewalks of the area you are in.

thanks for all the info!
