On one level, it’s a fairly shabby Southern city with a touristy, almost tacky overlay. But beneath the overlay is something vital, something intimately acquainted with living and dying, that marketing cannot long disguise or distort. New Orleans has a gut-level mythic quality, a resonance unique among American cities. Always For Pleasure amplifies that resonance. —David Armstrong, Berkeley Barb
