Streetcars rattle on Canal; the air smells faintly of citrus and fried food, the city’s pulse quickening as neon wakes up. The guide—part historian, part raconteur—checks IDs and ushers the tour into alleys where the lights thin and the stories thicken. This is a two-hour, two-mile stroll through some of New Orleans’ most notorious watering holes; cheap drink finds are part of the promise, but it’s the local ghosts that take center stage.
