Frommer's New Orleans 2010


by: Mary Herczog
This guide is recommended. We stayed in the French Quarter the entire weekend we were there and it worked well for that. While we were in New Orleans we had a friends in the indie rock scene - and ended up going to the little dive clubs they played and talked about. Surprisingly even all of these "underground" places were in the guide. We weren't there for Mardi Gras - but there is really good background info in the guide on Mardi Gras including an amusing anectode of the author's experience riding on a float.

Fodor's New Orleans 2010


by: Fodor's
I really enjoyed this book. Although we went on this vacation without our 2 kids I liked it that there were kid friendly options noted in case we ever want to go back. The restaurant reviews were dead on. We liked the shopping suggestions too. All of the suggestions were practical and well presented. I'm thinking of getting more Fodor's guides for upcoming vacations simply because this one was so good.

New Orleans: The Making of an Urban Landscape


by: Peirce F. Lewis
New Orleans is an "inevitable city on an impossible
site" is what Pierce Lewis said in his book Making Of An Urban Landscape.

I would add to that "an inevitable party on an impossible site by illicite and illogical people.'

Most of what is there now was not there prior to WWII. The early settlers (1699) understood the land and built appropriately.

If anyone is to blame it is the French! But it is a most wonderful book about the growth and development of a wonderful city.
