Stayed there last year and walked to Bourbon St. both in day and night. No problems at any time. You just have to be alert of your surroundings.

I fixed the link for you Bump. (Needed ".com" added)
Surprisingly, when I looked at this link and zeroed in on the FQRv/French Quarter route, here was no criminal activity indicated. Not trying to say that there was none. It just means none is reported.
Not trying to be adversarial, but "be alert of your surroundings" means just that. Don't walk around like a tourist. The "local populous" that have malice in their mind, pick up on that real quick.
The Inner Harbor in Baltimore has way more crime than the area in NOLA that we are talking about. And that is because the pilgrims walk around in a daze, texting with their iPhones, with expensive cameras hung around their necks, flashing a lot of cash, and getting a little too drunk in the area bars. The criminals pick on the softest targets among these folks. Just looking less like a pilgrim then everyone else goes a long way into not ending up a victim.
