Streetwise New Orleans

Rating:
Summary: If you're going to visit New Orleans, you WILL need a map!
Review: That is the advice I give to anyone who is not a native of or very familiar with the Crescent City. I went there twice in 2002 and plan to go back for Mardi Gras 2003, and this map is the most useful thing I had with me. New Orleans streets are very confusing---many of them are one way, and sometimes they change names on you. The Streetwise New Orleans map was very accurate, in my experience. It was especially useful in that it shows you which streets are one way and in what direction, so if you find yourself accidentally stuck on a one-way street going in the opposite direction from where you want to go, you can get yourself right again. This map also shows you streetcar routes, if you prefer not to drive; and of course like any good city map it shows you points of interest, like the old cemeteries, as well.
Another good thing about this map is its size: it is small enough to fit in my purse and keep with me, and it is easy to fold. It is also laminated, of course.

Summary: Excellent map!!
Review: We just got back from New Orleans and this map was kept handy constantly! Very detailed maps. Helped me drive by myself through New Orleans on a Saturday night in all the traffic. I knew which streets went which way (so many streets are one way!). VERY HELPFUL!! Great price too!!
