New Orleans: The Underground Guide shows visitors how to experience the Big Easy like a local, looking past staples like beignets and Bourbon Street to reveal a city bursting with contemporary and experimental art, genre-busting DJs, international cuisines, and even kid-friendly activities.
This fully updated edition offers an expansive collection of alternative recommendations for exploring the city of Mardi Gras, brass bands, and weekly festivals. Featuring over two hundred new entries on local bands, rappers, restaurants with live music, galleries, and more, this guidebook takes readers on a one-of-a-kind journey through New Orleans, giving advice on everything from what thrift stores and bookshops to visit to what bands to catch in concert and what parades to attend. Lead author Michael Patrick Welch provides a detailed guide of the less traditional, more adventurous side of New Orleans, from bars that hold readings of poetry and erotic literature to costume shops that sell handmade masks, party supplies, and all the parade throws you can carry. Drawing on the wisdom of New Orleans celebrities, journalists, artists, and musicians from throughout the Crescent City, the fourth edition of New Orleans: The Underground Guide is an authentic and reliable resource for where locals listen to music, art hop, shop, eat, drink, and let loose.Languages:EnglishPublisher:LSU PressISBN-13:9780807169902ISBN-10:0807169900UPC:9780807169902Book Category:TravelBook Subcategory:United States, Museums, Tours, Points of Interest, Special InterestBook Topic:SouthSize:8.40 x 5.00 x 0.90 inchesWeight:0.341Product ID:SCB1C39A9X

He lives with his partner, two daughters, and seven goats in William Burroughs's old neighborhood of Algiers and, since Katrina, has taught a rap class in New Orleans schools.
