Located just a few blocks from the gypsies and fortune tellers who
inhabit Jackson
Square and a lifetime removed from the non-stop bacchanalia of Bourbon Street, Crescent
City Books is of a piece of the Quarter and New Orleans itself.
Old
City / Society Hill: Touted as «America's most historic
square mile,» Old
City is where you'll find the Liberty Bell; Independence Hall, where the Constitution was written; the Betsy Ross House; Ben Franklin's grave; Elfreth's Alley, the oldest continuously
inhabited street in the country; and, especially in the summer, way too many tourists.
