About the Book

(NB: This is NOT a full guide book! This is a comedic look at some of the weirder aspects of life in New Orleans written especially for British audiences!)
New Orleans is the perfect holiday destination for Brits, mixing the best of America with Europe and the Caribbean. The local culture can be confusing, though, especially for first timers. This insider guide talks you through the local customs, slang and points of interest - all through the eyes of a long-time British resident. Indispensable for Brits visiting the Crescent City!
From the book:
ARMSTRONG, LOUIS The city's favourite musical son, a true legend of jazz and a gravelly-voiced trumpeter of such acclaim that they named the airport after him. It was previously known as Moisant Stock Yards, so if nothing else, he definitely made it a "Wonderful World" for regional airports needing more elegant and memorable names.
ASH WEDNESDAY The day after Mardi Gras, the start of Lent and by far the most sombre day on the New Orleans calendar. It's a holiday in the city and you won't find too much open as New Orleans nurses its collective hangover. It's a day of reflection, a day of desperate headache cures and for locals, a day of pondering an immediately important question: have you given much thought yet as to what your Halloween costume might be?
ASS The empirical unit of measurement employed by the bars of Bourbon Street to denote the size of their vast servings of weak domestic beer. There are three demarcations, namely the Big-, Large- and Huge-Ass. These huge plastic containers are sold by loud barkers outside the bars, often with two- or even three-for-one deals. They'll trouble your bladder more than your sobriety.
From the same author: New Orleans For Free (available on Amazon in paperback and for Kindle)
