I never give money to professional panhandlers, in fact, I never talk to them - period!
Now I'm in New Orleans - I can't think of once that I've ever been approached by a panhandler after almost 40 years of visiting this city.
Oh I see musicians and performers with a hat out for tips. I don’t hang on in the quarter bar hopping (much better places elsewhere). But I do enjoy some restaurants like Galatoire’s, Arnaud’s, Antoine’s.So, you've never, ever been to the French Quarter then????

I can go have dinner without being aggressively and obnoxiously accosted like happened in San Francisco every single time I stepped out of my car - even in residential neighborhoods.
That's busking, not begging. They're doing something (entertaining) in an attempt to earn tips.Oh I see musicians and performers with a hat out for tips.
