The dearly held belief that no meal can be too big or last too long has been cherished for gernerations in New Orleans, and nowhere more faithfully than in these 34 of the city's oldest restaurants, from neighborhood joints serving up the freshest crawfish and finest oyster po'boys to the French Quarter's more elegant establishments. New Orleans' leisurely, unaffected style also endures in the 22 venerable shops profiled here, including a turn-of-the-century parfumerie and luxurious antiques stores.

This review is from: A Guide to the Historic Shops & Restaurants of New Orleans (Hardcover)
A trip to New Orleans would not be quite as much fun without this little handbook, even though I had once taken a course in Tourguiding in NOLA. This book is full of pictures, little-known facts, much like the old WPA Writers Project city guides which are now very hard to find. It is a small, concise book which richly details even menus of some of the oldest restaurants and tells about Central Market and invention of the Muffalleta sandwich. I first saw the book in the cruise ship's library, NCL out of NOLA and ordered five to send out as a memento to each of our cruise members.

Want to see the New Orleans her citizen's love? This is the book for you. Great selections and accurate information about a "langiappe" of places, stores and events. Highly recommend.
