Frommer's New Orleans '98

The Story

Completely rewritten this year by a music reporter, Frommer's New Orleans '98 is the definitive guide to the incredible dining and nightlife of the Big Easy.New Orleans has always been a top travel destination -- this year it ranked #2 among U.S. cities and #5 among international cities in the Conde Nast Traveler 1996 Readers' Choice Awards. The Port of New Orleans is an increasingly busy embarkation point for cruise ships to the western Caribbean, Central America, and the Mexican coast. And growth promises to continue, with 4,000 new hotel rooms being added this year and a 9% increase in the number of conventions being held in the city.
