The event is free and open to the public but interested parties are encouraged to RSVP and reserve their books ahead of time on Eventbrite. The Greyhound DiaryJudy Montagu spent her late teenage years and early twenties directing anti-aircraft defences during the Second World War as a Captain in Gunnery for the British Army. Demobilised in 1946, she set out in search of fun and freedom in America and found herself swept into a bright and glamorous social circle. She soon counted Joe Alsop and the Cushing Sisters among her new friends and even began to consider becoming a US citizenIn 1949, determined to understand America more deeply, Judy embarked on a three-month tour of the country by Greyhound bus. Letters of introduction opened doors to a range of encounters, capturing an extraordinary moment at the height of the Anglo-American alliance. At each stop, Judy met newspaper editors, political leaders, and celebrities. In Texas - where she rode in a rodeo - she was the guest of Jesse H. Jones in Houston and Amon Carter in Fort Worth. In Hollywood, she had tea with Mary Pickford, and by the time she reached Illinois, her final state, she met and fell in love with Adlai Stevenson. As a cousin of Clementine Churchill, Judy's travels attracted regular press attention, adding another dimension to the diary.“We’re not just recommending books out here, we’re also sharing the recommendations we get. No less than two friends have told T&C that we simply must dive into this new release, a diary from a British aristocrat who took a 1949 bus trip across the United States.” ––Best Books of October - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-orleans/the-greyhound-diary/100001916219497099 - **Event Categories**: parties, entertainment, rodeo - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fthe-greyhound-diary-tickets-1916219497099 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 33.54, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: New Orleans - **state**: LA - **country**: United States - **location**: The Garden District Book Shop - **lat**: 29.9302073 - **long**: -90.0849707 - **full address**: The Garden District Book Shop, 2727 Prytania Street, New Orleans, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Garden District Book Shop (https://allevents.in/org/garden-district-book-shop/17786895) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/0e83bd0cada59b7e1e8221769296ecd342fdb60790386cd2391f5618112f49b8-rimg-w333-h500-dc16275d-gmir.jpg?v=1762104378 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/2ad11f7975939e928265cd85d78a7572fee42b3f099ba631830aca036553548c-rimg-w400-h400-dc16275d-gmir.jpg?v=1762104377 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Sat, 08 Nov, 2025 at 05:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** The Garden District Book Shop, 2727 Prytania Street, New Orleans, United States - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 33.54 USD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Garden District Book Shop - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** parties, entertainment, rodeo - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about The Greyhound Diary ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "The Greyhound Diary", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/0e83bd0cada59b7e1e8221769296ecd342fdb60790386cd2391f5618112f49b8-rimg-w333-h500-dc16275d-gmir.jpg?v=1762104378", "startDate": "2025-11-08", "endDate": "2025-11-08", "url": "https://allevents.in/new-orleans/the-greyhound-diary/100001916219497099", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "The Garden District Book Shop", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "2727 Prytania Street", "postalCode": "70130", "addressLocality": "New Orleans", "addressRegion": "LA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "29.9302073", "longitude": "-90.0849707" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "The Garden District Book is thrilled to welcome Anna Mathias on November 8 to celebrate and discuss her mother Judy Montagu’s diary", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "2025-11-08", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "33.54", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/new-orleans/the-greyhound-diary/100001916219497099" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/new-orleans/the-greyhound-diary/100001916219497099", "price": 0, "name": "RSVP" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/new-orleans/the-greyhound-diary/100001916219497099", "price": "33.54", "name": "RSVP + Reserved Book" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Garden District Book Shop", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/garden-district-book-shop/17786895", "description": "Garden District Book Shop resides inside the historic property called the Rink at the corner of Washington Avenue and Prytania Street, in New Orleans' beautiful Garden District.\r\nWe carry a large collection of regional titles - new and used; design, art and gardening books; fiction and non-fiction; children's; and signed first editions and limited editions by many regionally and nationally acclaimed authors.\r\nThe Rink, was originally built in 1884 as the Crescent City Skating Rink (roller skating), to lure passing tourists during the World's Cotton Centennial Exposition.
