About this Event
Join Nomad Used Bookstore for our very first French Quarter Book Crawl, a walking adventure for people who love bookstores, stories, and exploring New Orleans together.
We’ll start the afternoon at Nomad Used Bookstore in Algiers Point (501 Seguin St, New Orleans, 70114) meet fellow book lovers, and then walk together to the ferry to cross the river and begin our crawl through several bookstores in the French Quarter.
Along the way we’ll stop into 3–4 independent bookstores, explore the Quarter on foot, grab drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic), and get to know one another while discovering what the French Quarter’s literary scene has to offer.
Whether you’re a local who rarely makes it into the Quarter or a visitor looking to meet fellow book nerds, this is the perfect way to spend an afternoon.
