From dive bars to haunted landmarks, 111 Places in New Orleans invites you to experience the city’s quirky, mystical, and unforgettable spirit—one hidden place at a time.
Where can you hatch a baby alligator in your hand, or zoom over a swamp by zipline? Where can you travel through time in your own T.A.R.D.I.S, cocktail in hand?
New Orleans blends the unconventional with the orthodox to create a cultural collision unlike any other city. Known for its jazz, cocktails, Mardi Gras celebrations, and centuries-old mysteries, New Orleans has a history rooted in revelry and mystery.
From historic buildings that housed early jazz legends, to museums devoted to the Red-light district, to eateries offering local specialties, 111 Places in New Orleans will introduce you to the distinct vibrancy of the city, and reveal the musical, spiritual, historical, edible, and often sinful, sides of the Crescent City.
Experience the depths of dive bars and the heights of haut monde as 111 Places in New Orleans escorts you through a tableau of the Big Easy’s best kept secrets. New Orleans may be known as the “City that Care Forgot,” but locals and visitors alike will always remember the storied places profiled in these pages – places that embrace the eccentric, celebrate the supernatural, and memorialise the macabre. As noted musician and New Orleans native Allen Toussaint once said, “To get to New Orleans, you don’t pass through anywhere else.”
