More about the book
New Orleans—the Crescent City—blends Latin mañana, French joie de vivre, African-American effervescence, Italian zest, and Uptown Creole pomp, creating a unique cultural gumbo. The historic sights, rhythmic sounds, tantalizing tastes, and exotic aromas of old New Orleans leave a lasting impression on visitors. This lively city offers a wealth of sensory pleasures, from the ornate wrought-iron balconies of the French Quarter and the triple-spired St. Louis Cathedral to the ultra-modern Louisiana Superdome. Explore the tranquil beauty of the Ursuline Convent and the vibrant chaos of Mardi Gras, with its colorful floats and lively krewes. Experience the jazz of Bourbon Street, ride the St. Charles Avenue streetcar, and visit famous above-ground cemeteries or take a popular buggy tour. Savor the feasts of St. Joseph's Altar and dine at iconic spots like Antoine's and Commander's Palace, or enjoy beignets at Café Du Monde. Discover local universities, Parlange Plantation, and cultural landmarks like the Jean Lafitte Blacksmith Shop, Voodoo Museum, and Preservation Hall. With its rich tapestry of experiences, this photographic tour captures the city's style and verve, making it a perfect memento for visitors and an ideal gift for those wishing to savor the Big Easy's charm.
