In 1957 a man named Harry Pollack traveled west from Delaware. I love this image he shot to begin his series of slides that he would shoot along the way. Today's post shows the photos he took in New Orleans. This one sure makes me hungry for some pralines!

Grab a beignet and see more New Orleans photos at my main website.

ReplyDeleteThank you for these vintage pictures, and for your travel recommendations.
We visited several restaurants and a hotel you featured on the blog and had a wonderful time. I'm plotting my return via Mississippi River cruise from Memphis.
Best regards.
