Heres your invitation to go Bohemian in New Orleans! Or hatch your inner barfly, if you like, in this two-hour, small-group literary walking tour and pub crawl through the French Quarter. We meet at cocktail hour at Cosimos, a cozy corner bar that has welcomed locals and visitors alike since 1933. Then its up Burgundy Street through the serenely beautiful lower Quarter to see the fine homes, or cheap hovels, where Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, William Faulkner and William Burroughs lived and wrote. Close your eyes at an elegant townhouse on St. Peter Street and you will almost hear the rattling wheels and clanging bells that inspired A Streetcar Named Desire. Along the way, your well-versed guide (a former magazine editor and publisher) may stop to deliver a written-in-New-Orleans, only-in-New-Orleans poem or two by Walt Whitman or Charles Bukowski. And if youre wondering what sophisticates Oscar Wilde and Simone de Beauvoir were up to when they breezed through town, all will be revealed…along with anything youd like to know about history, architecture, music, food and life in the Quarter today. Your sojourn in Bohemia ends with a toast to genius and farewell round of Sazerac cocktails at Tujagues, the oldest stand-up bar in America where a young riverboat pilot named Samuel Clemens would amuse fellow patrons with tales of his Life on the Mississippi.
