An illustrated guide to the most historic sites in New Orleans takes readers on a fascinating tour of this enigmatic city, from the absinthe house and nineteenth-century parfumerie to the Cajun restaurants that have made the city famous.
Synopsis: The lush world of old New Orleans awaits behind the doors of select restaurants and shops that have delighted patrons for decades. Crossing these thresholds, the discriminating diner and shopper can step into scores of historic establishments, including an antebellum hotel in the Garden district, a dimly-lit absinthe house, a turn-of-the-century parfumerie, romantic antiques shops, and a wisteria-draped courtyard restaurant whose Cajun cuisine includes muffalettas, polboys, Gulf shrimp remoulade, jambalaya, crawfish, oysters, beignets, and the world's first cocktail, the Sazerac. More than one-hundred colour photographs and reproductions are included.
