Beyond Bourbon St. - 2nd Edition by Mark Bologna (Paperback)

About the Book

New Orleans is so much more than the Bourbon St. scenes you may have seen--it's a 300-year-old city made up of vibrant neighborhoods, diverse populations, and traditions layered upon each other. World class food is available not only in our famous restaurants, but in corner restaurants across the city. Mardi Gras is the party we throw for ourselves, but invite the world to take part in. If partying with 1,000,000 friends is not your style, there are festivals nearly every week of the year to suit your taste and interests. Join Mark Bologna, host of the popular Beyond Bourbon St. podcast and curator of the Instagram page of the same name, as he explores the people, places, music, history and culture that make New Orleans unique.
