New Orleans Around the Web | Week of October 24

by Sally Tunmer October 28, 2011 Arts & Culture

It’s the end of the week and once again, New Orleans is giving people something to talk about. As a haunted city with a vampire fetish, something strange happens in New Orleans every Halloween.

Bard in the Garden: A Midsummer Night’s Dream

by Liz Genest Smith October 3, 2011 Arts & Culture

William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is sort of like a California roll. (Stay with me here).

Walk into my apartment, and you might think I’m mama to 14 children and 23 babies. You see, I love books. Particularly children’s books. I own approximately two million and seventeen children’s books (hence the mistaken guesses about babies), but I read anything and everything.  Which is why I’m so excited it’s finally One Book One New Orleans season – …

Statuesque New Orleans

by Grace June 15, 2010 Arts & Culture

There are very few weekends I find myself not hosting eager out-of-town guests.  This is a blessing (and the curse) of living in the French Quarter.

I’m always on the hunt to find new and interesting ways to show friends (and sometimes strangers) around the city. My first major introduction to New Orleans was visiting every museum.
