Book Description

The dearly held belief that no meal can be too big or last too long has been cherished for many generations in New Orleans, and nowhere more faithfully than in the city's oldest restaurants. From neighbourhood joints serving up the finest, freshest crawfish, oyster po' boys and shrimp remoulade to elegant establishments in the French Quarter, the phrase "Come for lunch, stay for dinner, go home in a wheelbarrow" is beloved by all. New Orleans' leisurely, unaffected style also endures in its venerable shops, including a turn-of-the-century parfumerie and luxurious antique stores.

Book Description

Every New Orleanian knows Leah Chase's gumbo, but few realize that the Freedom Fighters gathered and strategized over bowls of that very dish. Or that Parkway's roast beef po-boy originated in a streetcar conductors' strike. In a town where Antoine's Oysters Rockefeller is still served up by the founder's great-great-grandson, discover the chefs and restaurateurs who kept their gas flames burning through the Great Depression and Hurricane Katrina. Author Alexandra Kennon weaves the classic offerings of Creole grande dames together with contemporary neighborhood staples for a guide through the Crescent City's culinary soul. From Brennan's Bananas Foster to Galatoire's Soufflé Potatoes, this collection also features a recipe from each restaurant, allowing readers to replicate iconic New Orleans cuisine at home.

Book Description

From Bourbon Street to Pirate’s Alley and beyond—a local historian takes you on a walking tour of the historic French Quarter in New Orleans. Walking through the French Quarter can overwhelm the senses—and the imagination. The experience is much more meaningful with knowledge of the area’s colorful history. For instance, the infamous 1890 “separate but equal” legal doctrine justifying racial segregation was upheld by the Louisiana Supreme Court at the Cabildo on Jackson Square. In the mid-twentieth century, a young Lee Harvey Oswald called Exchange Alley home. One of New Orleans’s favorite cocktails—the sazerac—would not exist if Antoine Peychaud had not served his legendary bitters with cognac from his famous apothecary at 437 Royal. Local author Andy Peter Antippas presents a walking history of the Vieux Carre, one alley, corner and street at a time.

Book Description

There are a lot of guide books telling others how to swim in an alcoholic stupor through the French Quarter or how to backpack on a shoestring. However, this is the only guide to fine antique art shopping and culinary extravaganza. The French Quarter in New Orleans is one of the few places in the world where one can find a high concentration of antique art galleries in a small walkable area. There are a lot of places where there are a number of "antique" shops. However, I don't consider kitsch such as old toys from the 1970s, old soda bottles and plastic lunch boxes to be antiques. To me, an antique is a handmade item of fine crasftsmanship and beauty that one cannot find in any modern factory made item. There are many genuine antique art galleries in the French Quarter that I am fond of. Please note that NONE of the antique art galleries in this book has paid me in any way for my reviews of their businesses. I have not received any favors, discounts, payments, nor gifts of any kind. None of these art gallery owners even know I am writing this book. As a former antique art dealer, I invite you to accept my unique tips and insider's guide to the opulent New Orleans antique art market. Even if you are not an antique collector, the antique stores in New Orleans contain items of such quality and significance that they are essentially free museums. In addition to the inside scoop on restaurants and antique shops, this is also a complete guide to the French Quarter because this book contains information on which hotels are the best for every budget, antique gun shops, fine art galleries, smoke free music venues and a historical walking tour of the French Quarter. There is enough in this book to occupy a long weekend to a week long vacation. This book even includes a handy map of the French Quarter. I invite you to enjoy this indispensable guide to New Orleans. Laissez les bon temps rouler! (Let the good times roll!)
