There are a lot of guide books telling others how to swim in an alcoholic stupor through the French Quarter or how to backpack on a shoestring. However, this is the only guide to fine antique art shopping and culinary extravaganza. The French Quarter in New Orleans is one of the few places in the world where one can find a high concentration of antique art galleries in a small walkable area. There are a lot of places where there are a number of "antique" shops. However, I don't consider kitsch such as old toys from the 1970s, old soda bottles and plastic lunch boxes to be antiques. To me, an antique is a handmade item of fine crasftsmanship and beauty that one cannot find in any modern factory made item. There are many genuine antique art galleries in the French Quarter that I am fond of. Please note that NONE of the antique art galleries in this book has paid me in any way for my reviews of their businesses. I have not received any favors, discounts, payments, nor gifts of any kind. None of these art gallery owners even know I am writing this book. As a former antique art dealer, I invite you to accept my unique tips and insider's guide to the opulent New Orleans antique art market. Even if you are not an antique collector, the antique stores in New Orleans contain items of such quality and significance that they are essentially free museums. In addition to the inside scoop on restaurants and antique shops, this is also a complete guide to the French Quarter because this book contains information on which hotels are the best for every budget, antique gun shops, fine art galleries, smoke free music venues and a historical walking tour of the French Quarter. There is enough in this book to occupy a long weekend to a week long vacation. This book even includes a handy map of the French Quarter. I invite you to enjoy this indispensable guide to New Orleans. Laissez les bon temps rouler (Let the good times roll )
