The Pelican Guide to New Orleans: Touring America's Most Interesting City

Thomas K. Griffin better known as "Tommy" during his long and distinguished career as a journalist, is a native new Orleanian whose columns have appeared in the new Orleans newspapers for more than 30 years. His knowledge of the city is unsurpassed, and he writes about it subjectively as well as objectively in his unique style. He tells it like it is: the city's charm, its faults, and its foibles. In this volume, Griffin explores every phase of the Crescent City: people entertainment, history, night life, cuisine, business, industry, and culture. He guides the reader-visitor and native alike-- through the real New Orleans that lies off the beaten tourist paths.
