When Rex Met Zulu and Other Chronicles of the New Orleans Experience

"From a city rich with stories, Errol Laborde weaves local color into a tapestry depicting the unique history, food, people, and celebrations that only New Orleans could produce. With a front-row seat at many of the events chronicled (Laborde founded the now-beloved tradition of Zulu meeting Rex at Spanish Plaza before a loud, excited crowd on the eve of Fat Tuesday), he shares vignettes adapted from his national-award-winning "Streetcar" column in New Orleans magazine and his weekly Myneworleans.com blog, "The Editor's Room," which has won three New Orleans Press Club awards."--Back cover.
