Why should you take your laundry to the birthplace of rock 'n' roll? And what is the one (delicious!) drink that makes every bartender cringe? Secret New Orleans peels back the layers on the Crescent City to reveal her most enigmatic characteristics. Experience firsthand the way struggle in this city gives way to decadence and revelry, moss-dripped southern oaks whisper tales of dueling and murder, and long-held traditions baffles sand even appalls soutsiders. Seek out Calas at Elizabeth's Restaurant, and learn how this simple sweet enabled enslaved women to buy their freedom.

In this fascinating guide they lift the hazy veil of The Big Easy, unmasking some of its most amazingly true stories for visitors and locals alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Angela Monroe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1681062186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681062181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reedy Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Angela Monroe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988904607999,"sku":"9781681062181","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a0b8653d-794f-4128-b26c-ffe2565f3e3e.jpg?v=1683297001","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/secret-new-orleans-angela-monroe-9781681062181","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
