Locals know it as a favorite place to slow down (or to stop sweating, on summer days) and catch mainstream movies... or, more likely, the experimental, classic, foreign, or cult films that too rarely find their way to theaters in the South.

A few local attractions!
Anything in the French Quarter is walking distance and there is plenty to do there. If you get a chance, explore other neighborhoods such as the CBD, Warehouse District, Midcity, Uptown, the Bywater, the Marigny, and the Lower Garden District.
Other Ideas:
Swamp/Airboat Tours
Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour
Walking, Segway, Bus, Bike Tours (Haunted/Ghost, Voodoo, Cemetery/City of the Dead, Architecture, Food & History, Cocktail, Katrina Recovery etc)
Way too many companies to list. Trip Advisor is a great resource to find one that works for you!

A Note On Safety
We love our crazy town but it comes with a few challenges. For your own well-being, be aware of your surroundings. If you're walking at night, don't walk alone, stay alert and off your phone, remain in well-lit areas and glance behind you once in awhile. If you're out drinking into the wee hours, CALL A CAB or UBER TO BRING YOU HOME. New Orleans is famously not-so-safe in general, and things always get crazier in the summer heat, so please exercise caution, especially when leaving the French Quarter or Frenchmen St after dark, as tipsy tourists do tend to get targeted.
