The Carousel Bar at Hotel Monteleone
French Quarter, New Orleans
A Preview
"See that building taking up half the block on Royal Street? That's the Hotel Monteleone. It's the only high-rise in the interior French Quarter, and the man who built it repaired shoes for a living. Antonio Monteleone arrived from Sicily around eighteen eighty and set up a cobbler's shop on this street. He started buying property — a lot here, a building there."
