Customer Reviews

I love this book!

This guide is not only helpful, it's absolutely hilarious. The writing is of a much higher level than you'd expect in a standard guide. It's smart, it's brutally honest (when they don't like something, they let you KNOW), and it doesn't pull any punches. New Orleans is a strange and wonderful place, and all guidebooks to it should be this good. But since they aren't, buy this one.

Absolutely the best

Travel guides are always a hit or miss affair: who can tell whether the editors came to town with the same mentality as you? Too many are geared for the lowest form of tourist: the pathetic sheep following the herd. Not so with this guide to New Orleans, which has been our touchstone on four separate trips to the Big Easy. Thorough, up-to-date, and above all HONEST. Strongly recommended for anyone visiting for the first time, and especially for anyone returning for a more "refined" visit to the city.l

Don't leave home without it!!!

I have been an eternal fan and grateful reader of the Time Out series for years. From their books to their magazines (NYC, Amsterdam & London), they have made my visits quite enjoyable. In Time Out New Orleans they have offerred invaluable choices from food to music to where to get a good cup of "joe." I can't emphasize enough how much one would benefit to heed their suggestions. I just returned from NO in early Dec '98, lucky me that the book came out in time.
