REVIEW - NEW ORLEANS MAGAZINE
Quaint Essential New Orleans - A Crescent City Lexicon
There are plenty of vocabulary lists on the Internet focused on New Orleans’ own lingo, but Kevin J. Bozant has pulled together 180 pages worth of terms for his book Quaint Essential New Orleans. From tips about how to eat a beignet to the definition of zydeco, this book is a must-have guide to the Crescent City.

stars Learn how to
speak like a local (and hundreds of other interesting facts about New

This
review is from: Quaint Essential New Orleans: A Crescent City Lexicon
(Paperback)
Don't know your banquette from your neutral ground? Want
to make sure your po-boy is properly dressed? If you are writing, reporting, or
just want to know more about The Crescent City (i.e. why is it called that?),
this book should be your bible.Extensively researched and photo rich, this book should be required reading for travel writers, reporters, playwrights, newcomers and well-informed visitors. But, locals will also enjoy strolling down memory lane with the many "Ain't dere no more" entries. Native New Orleanians may be suprised at how unique they really are! This is, literally, the quintessential book about the New Orleans lexicon.

INTRODUCTION
If you write about New Orleans, get it
right about New Orleans. In Quaint Essential New Orleans, Kevin J.
Bozant takes you on an entertaining and personal journey through the Crescent
City’s culture of unique iconography, creative geography and mystifying
terminology. He offers readers a generous serving from the colloquial melting
pot with ingredients borrowed from the French, Spanish, Creoles, African
Americans, Cajuns, West Indians, Irish, Italians, Germans, American Indians,
Canadians, Vietnamese and a smattering of Yat mixed in just to make your
mom-n-em happy. The resulting mélange of creative and colorful references for
streets, food, Mardi Gras, jazz, local characters, geography, history and
culture, blends into a delicious gumbo of grammar which is often mispronounced,
misinterpreted, misunderstood, and misspelled.
Do you know the difference between, Mardi
Gras and Carnival, Storyland and Storyville, roux and rue? Can you give directions to Dead Man’s Curve,
Monkey Wrench Corner or Pigeon Town? Can you name the Emperor of the World, the
Voodoo Queen or the Chicken King? Do you know what it means to mispronounce New
Orleans, banquette, Tchefuncte, flambeaux,
Tchoupitoulas or
lagniappe?
If you are producing a movie or documentary in New Orleans.
If you are writing or anchoring a local newscast.
If you are editing a city newspaper, magazine or website.
If you are writing a television series set in the Crescent
City.
If your next novel is about New Orleans.

If you go to your Mom-n-em for a crawfish
