Depending on what you like and how adventurous you are I would suggest heading down to St Claude Ave for nightlife. There are 4 or 5 really fun bars on a two block section. Off the wall fun and you won't have to worry about puking fratboys. Kajuns, Siberia, Hi Ho, and Allways Lounge are must hits. Plus you can hit Gene's PoBoys a block down for the my favorite post bar Po Boys in town. There are a couple great dive bars not far from there as well. Marie's, BJ's and Lost Love Lounge.
Frenchmen Street has lots of great clubs for all kinds of amazing live music and is usually hopping every night.
So much good food down there. I usually gain 10 pounds everytime I visit.
New Orleans has a reputation for being a rough place. And probably righfully so. Use common sense and be aware but not scared. It's a great city, some of the most humble and engaging people you will ever meet. Have a blast!
