I agree; folks sometimes visit it on an evening or weekend, react
negatively to all the partying they see, and leave with a bad taste in
their mouths. But there's actually a lot to see and do in the French
Quarter even if you aren't into the bar scene.

There's great jazz, good restaurants, lots of interesting shops, the
Voodoo Museum, interesting architecture, the cathedal, and much more.
But if you (like me) aren't into the bar scene, it's best to visit it
on a weekday during daylight hours, when the atmosphere is a lot
calmer. :)
