| | Robert Asprin |  | Ever since I first visited New Orleans back in '89, I've been intrigued by the French Quarter. I always wanted to set something in the Quarter, whether it was historic or contemporary. Unfortunately, I was always tied up with previous commitments - earlier multiple contracts - and could not get a crack at it. |
| | Robert Asprin | | I've had a five- or six-year down-spell as a writer, and now that most of the other contracts are cleared or down to the last book, I have a chance to do what I want to do - specifically, something set in New Orleans. |
| | Robert Asprin | | New Orleans life is such a night life. The thing that comes up very often is that our day essentially doesn't start until midnight or 2 in the morning. |
| | Mario Batali | | In America, I would say New York and New Orleans are the two most interesting food towns. In New Orleans, they don't have a bad deli. There's no mediocrity accepted. |
| | Ruben Blades | | There was a lot of stuff happening in Havana that was being heard and appreciated by New Orleans musicians because of this situation. And vice versa. |
| | Ruben Blades | | What is interesting in this is the exchange of music that occurred between New Orleans and Cuba, I mean, they had ferries that would go from one port to another. |
| | Tony Brown | | Yeah, that's why we are broadcasting, 70,000 watts of clear digital sound, to the tristate area of Louisiana, primarily, and Texas and Mississippi. Heard in every major city in Louisiana, with the exception of New Orleans. As far east as Woodville and Natchez, Mississippi, and as far west as Houston, and Beaumont, Texas. |
| | George Washington Cable | | It was in the Theatre St. Philippe (they has laid a temporary floor over the parquette seats) in the city we now call New Orleans, in the month of September, and in the year 1803. |
| | Nora Ephron | | New Orleans is one of the two most ingrown, self-obsessed little cities in the United States.The other is San Francisco. |
