Freshly updated in August 2021, the Wildsam New Orleans field guide spotlights the people and places that tell the story of the Crescent City. Inside you’ll find compelling interviews, personal essays, hand-drawn maps and vetted intel about quintessential NOLA spots.
"There is no other city with its own soundtrack like New Orleans. Those verses and choruses, calls and responses reverberate deep, like a choir singing out into the nave of an ancient, fern-fuzzed church."
