National Geographic Traveler New Orleans
by Mark Miller

From the National Geographic Traveler series.

"What a city this is! Fascinating," says the author of New Orleans. His book gets well behind the fagade of this exotic jewel, with its 300-year-old melting-pot heritage.

He begins with the city's historical heart, the French Quarter, with its narrow streets and iron balconies, street musicians and artists, he then digs into the neighborhoods-among them Esplanade Ridge, Faubourg Marigny, the Garden District, Holy Cross, Irish Channel, Faubourg St. Roch-each with its distinctive culture. Special features include numerous walks, an uptown streetcar tour, and detailed discussions of food and drink, Mardi Gras, jazz, the Mississippi River, voodoo, the Cajun heritage and more.

An excursions chapter explores the Mississippi River plantations, Louisiana's capital city of Baton Rouge, the Gulf coast, and Cajun country. Along with the sights and the justly famous restaurants and nightlife, readers will be treated to a feel for the unique pleasures and eccentricities of the Big Easy and its surrounding area.
