About the Author

Beth D'Addono is a food and travel writer who fell head over heels in love with New Orleans more than 20 years ago. Unable to resist the city's magnetic allure, Beth moved from Philadelphia to the Marigny in 2012. Since then, she has written countless articles, guidebooks and website content about all things New Orleans. A passionate supporter of the city's vibrant food, music and arts culture, Beth spends her non-working hours riding her bike, listening to live music, walking her dog Ruby along the river and connecting with the particular New Orleans brand of magical realism that greets her every time she walks out of her front door. Nothing makes her happier than discovering and sharing aspects of New Orleans beyond the limited and overrated Bourbon Street, and working on assembling a respectable costume closet.
