Celebrity Crushworthy: Alex McMurray

by Sunny Dawn Summers January 31, 2011 Music

I have a new celebrity crush. I just added Alex McMurray to the top of my list, nudging out John Cusack from his top spot.

Saddling up to an empty bar at 9:30 p.m. on a Thursday, I wasn’t expecting much. The bar was empty, the singer was the only other patron for a little bit. I had never seen …

Hurray for the Riff Raff (and Zombies)

by Sunny Dawn Summers January 17, 2011 Music

Right before I left work, this statement came out of my mouth: “Sorry, I can’t talk. I have to go home, dress up like a zombie and go country dancing.”

Anywhere else in this world or the netherworld, this would be an odd statement. In fact, reflecting on this statement having only lived in New Orleans for one year, …

5 Family Friendly Destinations in New Orleans

by Stephen Maloney November 30, 2010 Things To Do

I think we’re all familiar with the things grown-ups can do in New Orleans.  From go cups on Bourbon Street to great food all around the French Quarter and live music on Frenchmen Street, adult entertainment options are pretty much covered.  Kids, however, can be a different story.  If you ever find yourself with a handful of children …

Faubourg Marigny Meats, Eats, Cakes and Drinks

by Sunny Dawn Summers October 18, 2010 Cocktail Culture

I moved. Again.

I’m the girl that moved 10 times in 8 years after undergrad. When I moved to New Orleans last winter, I landed in the Lower Garden District for a couple weeks, then I moved Uptown. And from that beautiful rounded-corner of New Orleans, full of gorgeous, stately houses and green yards, far away from the French Quarter …

New Orleans from the Inside Out

by Sunny Dawn Summers June 17, 2010 Things To Do

If you had asked me about New Orleans after my first weekend trip here a couple years ago, I could rave about the French Quarter, how it reminded me of walking the streets of Paris. I could tell you that the street performers were original and tireless. I could tell you that the French Market had a lot to offer …
