Vivid vignettes rich with the sights, sounds, and tastes of New Orleans: "A worthy contribution to the library of books celebrating life in the Big Easy." --Times-Picayune

Offering innovative insights into such New Orleans mainstays as Carnival and the Quarter, as well as food, music, sports, politics, history, and more, Errol Laborde provides a look at aspects of Crescent City living usually reserved for residents. The essays include an Orleanian ode entitled "In Praise of the Potato Poor Boy" and several explorations and explanations of Mr. Bingle, the only symbol of Christmas that is unique to New Orleans. These eighty-one vignettes originally appeared in Laborde's Streetcar column, which currently runs in New Orleans Magazine.

"Strung together like a handful of Mardi Gras beads thrown from a passing float, Laborde's tales reveal the bright and beautiful as well as the dim and gaudy sides of the city." --Southern Living
