Review of African American New Orleans

Touring New Orleans ... On the Cheap

     Three books provide points of interest for self-guided tours of the city's architecture, culture and history by: Kandace Powers Graves

     One of the great things about having visitors is getting to show off our hometown and vicariously re-experience discovering the wonders of the city and hearing the quirky stories that make New Orleans unique. Almost anyone who has lived in the city for long (say six months) has realized that residents tend to have a lot of company, and you can't always take vacation or an unpaid day off to act as a tour guide.   For those times, especially when your visitors are on a tight budget, it pays to keep a few books around to help them develop their own itineraries.

  Kevin J. Bozant gives readers a tour of New Orleans landmarks, commemorative plaques, statues and more in his African American New Orleans: A Guide to 100 Civil Rights, Culture & Jazz Sites (Po-Boy Press, 2012, $14.99). The book has interesting photos of the attractions, which makes them easier to find, since some are off main thoroughfares. There's also a neighborhood index so tourists can determine what points of interest are nearby, whatever neighborhood they are visiting.

  The 100 attractions included range from Willie Mae's Scotch House, a restaurant that served as a meeting place for civil rights activists and African-American leaders; a block where slaves were displayed for sale at the former St. Louis Hotel; the New Orleans musicians' tomb where any local musician can choose to be interred; the now-closed Ernie K-Doe's Mother-In-Law Lounge and the murals painted under the interstate on Claiborne Avenue.

  With these three books on your shelf, even guests who stay a week will remain occupied and happy — without breaking the bank.
