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.

Customer Reviews

Not up-to-date
Restaurants that no longer exist such as Gabrielle (which has been closed since the hurricane) are listed as open. In no way is this edition to be taken as fact. Somebody dropped the ball!

Helpful
This was very helpful during my recent trip to New Orleans. It was nice to know a little about each place before I decided to go there.

Great Guide
Having been to New Orleans pre-Katrina many times, I didn't know what to expect when we planned a trip for October 2006. This guide helped ease some of my worry and gave me the neccessary information to help create an enjoyable stay. Book your trip to the Big Easy and show your support of this fine city. This guide will help you along the way.
