Fun, quirky, and creepy! All things I love about the city of New Orleans. This book gives great advice and examples as it meanders through the history and legacies of the Big Easy. A great read whether visiting the first or fiftieth time. Loved the irreverent tone of the book and am now looking forward to picking up his Eat Dat, because chasing all of those ghosts, vampires, and voodoo queens work up an appetite!

About half real info, half tourist info. I was hoping for a deeper look at the odd mixture that is New Orleans.

Loved this. I like the fact that the author is very present in the narrative but I also don't want to strangle him, mostly. Definitely going to go back and read Eat Dat.

A really fun and thorough read about all things that go bump in the night in NoLa.

There was more than one instance of casual fat-phobia, which is always disappointing. I would have given it 5 stars otherwise.
