I love Avant Guide for their supercool coverage of restaurants, hotels, bars and sights. This edition doesn't dissappoint because, even after the floods Avant Guide proves that New Orleans remains one of the best cities in the world. If you're looking for a resource that tells it like it is, about where to go and what to do to have a truly unique experience, then this is your guide. I also often travel with Lonely Planet, but it didn't help me at all here.

I love Avant Guide. There is so much to say about it. First of all, I live in San Francisco, and originally bought the San Francisco book to get to know my own city better. I see it in book stores all over the city and the look and format stands out head and shoulders above the competition. This New Orleans book is amazing. It's the perfect guidebook. I love everything about it: The pocket informer at the end of the book, the tidbits at the end of each chapter like the right wine to pick with food and the clothing size converters. And the slang section is one of my favorites. I also found many surprises listed in timelines that were new to me. Next time I travel, there is no doubt which book I will be taking along!
