New Orleans Drag Queen
Everything you see on the streets is not always as they appear. You will likely run across a few women who appear to be very outgoing and flamboyant. These are not actually women at all, but rather men who dress up as women. If you really want to know the difference, you can ask them to hold their arms straight out in front of them, and if the elbow joint does not curve over 180 degrees, than it is a man.
Although technically this is not a tourist trap or a "danger" per se, I did want to make sure I inform some viewers on VT of a good way to spot a gay or lesbian bar, in case that is not your cup of tea and you want to avoid an awkward situation. In New Orleans, the shop keepers and owners of places that cater to homosexual lifestyles place rainbow banners outside their shops to signify their preferred clientele. If you see one of these flags or banners, you will now know whether or not that is the environment you wish to partake of.
Fun Alternatives: I would say this is pretty alternative :)
