Here is Knopf’s unique pocket-size MapGuide to the historic city of New Orleans: with six full-color, fold-out street maps of the most popular neighborhoods, plus bus, rail, and streetcar maps, as well as carefully selected information about the essential places to go and things to do.

Here are the city’s most interesting destinations, from the Garden District to the French Quarter to the Warehouse District and the Lower Ninth Ward; from classic Creole food at Galatoire’s to Cochon, the hippest restaurant in town; shopping at Lucullus for culinary antiques, Fifi Mahony’s for Mardi Gras wigs, or Retroactive for the best of vintage in town; or visiting the Audubon Zoo, Greek/Gothic/Renaissance Revival houses, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, and suggestions for excursions outside the city, including day trips to Cajun country or the old plantations along River Road.

Everything you need to find your way around and get the most out of this fascinating city is right here.
