| Summary | Annotation Looking for a travel guide that goes where other guides fear to tread? One that rides roughshod over ad–copy puffery to smartly deliver the real scoop on a destination′s sites and attractions? One that dares to be honest, hip, and fun? Look no more. Frommer′s Irreverent Travel Guides are wickedly irreverent, unabashedly honest, and downright hilarious, and provide an insider′s perspective on which attractions are overrated tourist traps and which are the secret gems that locals love. You′ll get the lowdown on restaurants, lodging, and shopping, and even find out what the locals think of you. "Like being taken around by a savvy local," said the <i>New York Times</i>. "Hipper and savvier than other guides," concurred <i>Diversion</i> magazine. Never shy about confronting the issues, the Irreverents are guides to real travel in the real world.<p>Let the good times roll with <i>Frommer′s Irreverent Guide to New Orleans</i>, the travel guide that unabashedly gives the insider perspective on one of America′s most popular destinations. You′ll discover where the locals go for real gumbo, how to eat mudbugs, why you should avoid at all costs during Mardi Gras, and how to survive anyway if you just can′t help yourself. Learn why burial tombs were built aboveground, and why so many people buried in the local cemeteries died in the same year. We′ll direct you to favorite psychics, voodoo parlors, and zydeco dance halls and away from the touristed nightclubs locals avoid like the plague (did someone say Planet Hollywood?). <i>The Irreverent Guide to New Orleans</i> will show you the real New Orleans of hothouse music and romance, and clue you in on where to have the most fun in the ultimate party town.</p> |
