Description



Book Synopsis



A tour of some of the most historic saloons in America.

There is no doubt that New Orleans has more drinking establishments per capita than any other city in the United States. Lavishly illustrated with more than 200 photographs, this elegant pictorial history provides a glimpse into the architectural and cultural treasures still operating today. From urban legends to classic recipes, all is revealed in this collection of fascinating true stories.



From the Back Cover



NEW ORLEANS GULF SOUTH BOOKSELLERS ASSOCIATION BOOK OF THE YEAR
NAMED ONE OF THE YEAR'S BEST BY THE NEW ORLEANS TIMES-PICAYUNE
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS ABOUT THE CITY BY THE BOOKLOVER'S GUIDE TO NEW ORLEANS
PUBLISHERS MARKETING ASSOCIATION BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AWARD FINALIST
INDEPENDENT PUBLISHER AWARD FINALIST

"Like the silvered mirrors, shadowy with time, that hang behind so many New Orleans bars, McCaffety's book reflects the city in all its drunk splendor, whether it's the golden light of a lazy afternoon or the swirling energy of a dance floor. McCaffety, like a good bartender, knows how to listen, knows how to look, and knows how to tell a great story. In perfectly chosen words and images [Obituary Cocktail] captures something timeless and essential about New Orleans."
-Susan Larson, New Orleans Times-Picayune

"The evocative photos of Napoleon House, Pat O'Brien's, Galatoire's, Tujague's, and many lesser known restaurants and bars in the Crescent City are as personal as they are a rich repository of architectural and Louisiana social history, with excellent accompanying text. A beautifully produced book by one of the great photojournalists of America."
-John Mariani, Esquire

"Kerri's work is lush with natural light that makes the images sensual and rich, and transforms the places she photographs into poems."
-Francis Ford Coppola
