The guide follows the river and the neighborhoods around it. Food and drink are the plot devices, not trophies.
Field guide
New Orleans, told sideways
This is not a Bourbon Street guide or a recitation of old-line classics. It is a neighborhood map built from bars, restaurants, dives, music rooms, bakeries, and the city’s stranger texture.
Places are hand-picked. The ideas, omissions, routes, and themes are mine. Place descriptions are researched, summarized, and rewritten from public sources, guide workbooks, and personal notes.
About this guide
A city read through its rooms.
Some famous places are absent on purpose. They may be excellent; they are also easy to find.
The places and themes are hand-picked by me. This is a working guide, not a complete directory.
