Bizarre New Orleans

As a native to Louisiana I found this book wonderful. Granted it doesn't give you pages full of details on each Bizarre place in New Orleans but it gives you enough to keep it fun and interesting, especially on a day trip. For someone who is going to spend some time in New Orleans this would be a perfect book to take with you.

an essential, even for locals.

i'm one of those native new orleanians who is very passionate about this city, and i know it like the back of my hand. our city's history and cultural heritage in music and literature is especially rich, and you won't find a more eccentric, strange and beautiful city in all the world. i'm sure lots of books can give tourists generalized history lessons and nice color coded maps of the city - this one won't. but this is the one book i found indispensable in my own detailed, off the beaten path explorations of my own city. all the guidebooks will tell you where tennessee williams lived in the french quarter - but only this one gave me the address of walker percy's old haunt in my very own neighborhood, or directions to the exact plot in the cemetary where gram parsons (of the byrds & flying burrito brothers) is buried, and the quirky story that goes with that tidbit of information. though maybe not ideal for the casual tourist, this book is for anyone who really wants to get to know new orleans on a much deeper level.

Entertaining

This book is great for those who crave something different. It was entertaining. A romantic, and exciting city, even with all its problems.
