OUR READERS Many thanks to the travelers who used the last edition and wrote to us with helpful hints, useful advice and interesting anec-dotes: Bryan Banek, Cathy Goldner, Ine Indesteege, Heather Monell, Azwa Petra and Ken Steyls.

AUTHOR THANKS Adam Karlin Thanks for the help and the lagniappe: the Jazzman Andrew Holbein, for many good trips to the pool; Dan Favre, my host and compadre; Trish Kelly for hugs and unfailing smiles; Mike Robertshaw and Nora Ellersten for unfl agging support and good neighborliness; Zach Young-erman, my original guide; Robert Fogarty, for his passionate dedication to storytelling and New Orleans; Gerard Cox, a true patriot of the Crescent City; Ben Reese for his enthusiasm for the cause; Bryan Bailey – YYMR, all that

needs to be said; mom and dad, for letting me be here (in so many ways); Rachel Houge, my rock, my fi re, my river.

Amy C Balfour Thank you Cat, Susie and the Lonely Planet team for top-notch editing and mapping. A po’boy and beer to master coordinator and King of All Dive Bars, Adam Karlin. Many, many thanks to those who shared the best of New Orleans and guided my research: Dan & Rozanne Whalen, Vanessa Williams, Melissa Smith, Ashley Graham, Rachel Boudreaux, Terry Vosbein, Jeff Kelsey, Ellen Featherstone, Rocco Calamusa and Nancy Eichler. And cheers to Mardi Gras partners-in-crime Beth, Christin and Melissa.
