E-Book Overview

Frommer's Portable New Orleans is the first fully updated post-Katrina guide on the market. Our author, a New Orleans resident, has chronicled the city's devastation and resurrection, with full information on what neighborhoods have rebounded and what establishments are open for business. With complete coverage of area hotels and transportation options, this book has everything you need to plan a trip to this slowly rebuilding city. Our author helps you find the best places now to hear jazz, blues, and zydeco, and detailed neighborhood maps help travelers find their way across town. An in-depth, updated post-Katrina edition of Frommer's New Orleans is scheduled to release in January 2007.
