Politics trades from 17th Street in Metairie, the suburban stretch where a huge share of the metro actually lives.
Two hours west, Phenom on Johnston Street extends the circuit into Acadiana.
In the city, start on Canal Street; the Westbank and Metairie stops are short drives; Lafayette is its own trip.
Every shop, address and detail is in the full guide, and the store map covers 21 states.
