This highly-opinionated guide to eating, drinking, dancing, shopping and lodging in New Orleans was compiled by Chappy Hardy, John Goodman and their "friends" , seasoned New Orleans insiders- without the support of advertisers. Whether bound for Mardi Gras, the Jazz Festival or a meandering tour of one of the most unique cities in the world, A Friend In New Orleans will tell you what not to wear to Galatoire's, where to find crawfish pie (and how to pronounce it) which hotel has a basketball court and other such important miscellany.
