Always call ahead and you'll always come out ahead! The Hilton New Orleans Riverside (2 Poydras St., 504-561-0500) operates the parking in the open lot right next to Hall A at the Morial Convention Center. There are 1,000 spots in this lot.

Rental cars available. City bus to French Quarter. Pool, laundry. Handicap parking: Parking for the handicapped is limited but available. The Morial Convention Center maintains 10 handicap parking spaces in a lot across Convention Center Blvd. from Hall I. The daily rate is $10 (as it is for all parking). Closer in, there are nine handicap spaces available in the Riverwalk shopping mall, across Julia St. from Hall A, one of the eBay Live! venues. These spots are charged hourly and fill up quickly, so it's best to get there early in the morning. How to keep yourself safe when you're away from home New Orleans is no more dangerous than any other big city, but you will be in a new place so it's good to review some useful reminders. Don't leave your common sense in your hotel room! Here are some tips to keep in mind:
New Orleans enjoys a subtropical climate with pleasant year-round temperatures. In June the typical maximum temperature is 90 degrees. The typical minimum is 72 degrees. It's gets humid, though. Bring light, comfortable clothes, with a sweater for evenings. A raincoat and umbrella are also a good idea. Because the French Quarter and the Morial Convention Center are best explored on foot, we recommend comfortable shoes designed for lots of walking. The informal dress code for eBay Live! is what's called "business casual" these days. For men, this generally means slacks and a button-down shirt. For women, casual skirts, slacks, blouses, and dresses will fill the bill. Title Sponsor
