Download or read book A Guide to the Historic French Quarter written by Andy Peter Antippas and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Bourbon Street to Pirate’s Alley and beyond—a local historian takes you on a walking tour of the historic French Quarter in New Orleans. Walking through the French Quarter can overwhelm the senses—and the imagination. The experience is much more meaningful with knowledge of the area’s colorful history. For instance, the infamous 1890 “separate but equal” legal doctrine justifying racial segregation was upheld by the Louisiana Supreme Court at the Cabildo on Jackson Square. In the mid-twentieth century, a young Lee Harvey Oswald called Exchange Alley home. One of New Orleans’s favorite cocktails—the sazerac—would not exist if Antoine Peychaud had not served his legendary bitters with cognac from his famous apothecary at 437 Royal. Local author Andy Peter Antippas presents a walking history of the Vieux Carre, one alley, corner and street at a time.

Download or read book Creole Italian written by Justin A. Nystrom and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Creole Italian, Justin A. Nystrom explores the influence Sicilian immigrants have had on New Orleans foodways. His culinary journey follows these immigrants from their first impressions on Louisiana food culture in the mid-1830s and along their path until the 1970s. Each chapter touches on events that involved Sicilian immigrants and the relevancy of their lives and impact on New Orleans. Sicilian immigrants cut sugarcane, sold groceries, ran truck farms, operated bars and restaurants, and manufactured pasta. Citing these cultural confluences, Nystrom posits that the significance of Sicilian influence on New Orleans foodways traditionally has been undervalued and instead should be included, along with African, French, and Spanish cuisine, in the broad definition of "creole." Creole Italian chronicles how the business of food, broadly conceived, dictated the reasoning, means, and outcomes for a large portion of the nearly forty thousand Sicilian immigrants who entered America through the port of New Orleans in the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries and how their actions and those of their descendants helped shape the food town we know today.
Download or read book New Orleans Antique Shopping Culinary Extravaganza Guide to the French Quarter written by Richard King and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are a lot of guide books telling others how to swim in an alcoholic stupor through the French Quarter or how to backpack on a shoestring. However, this is the only guide to fine antique art shopping and culinary extravaganza. The French Quarter in New Orleans is one of the few places in the world where one can find a high concentration of antique art galleries in a small walkable area. There are a lot of places where there are a number of "antique" shops. However, I don't consider kitsch such as old toys from the 1970s, old soda bottles and plastic lunch boxes to be antiques. To me, an antique is a handmade item of fine crasftsmanship and beauty that one cannot find in any modern factory made item. There are many genuine antique art galleries in the French Quarter that I am fond of. Please note that NONE of the antique art galleries in this book has paid me in any way for my reviews of their businesses. I have not received any favors, discounts, payments, nor gifts of any kind. None of these art gallery owners even know I am writing this book. As a former antique art dealer, I invite you to accept my unique tips and insider's guide to the opulent New Orleans antique art market. Even if you are not an antique collector, the antique stores in New Orleans contain items of such quality and significance that they are essentially free museums. In addition to the inside scoop on restaurants and antique shops, this is also a complete guide to the French Quarter because this book contains information on which hotels are the best for every budget, antique gun shops, fine art galleries, smoke free music venues and a historical walking tour of the French Quarter. There is enough in this book to occupy a long weekend to a week long vacation. This book even includes a handy map of the French Quarter. I invite you to enjoy this indispensable guide to New Orleans. Laissez les bon temps rouler! (Let the good times roll!)
