The Best View of Mardi Gras In New Orleans

by Stephen Maloney February 2, 2012 Arts & Culture

OK, Mardi Gras is the biggest and best free show on the planet. Anyone can walk up to the parade route and get more or less the same show as anyone else. But there’s a better way to see the parades in New Orleans, especially on Mardi Gras Day. For as little as $5, you can purchase a ticket …

The Kickoff To Carnival Season: Twelfth Night Celebrations

by Lauren McCabe December 15, 2011 Arts & Culture

For the traditional holiday reveler, New Year’s marks the end of a three-month frenzy of turkey gluttony, gift-giving mania, and Champagne celebration. While many are secretly glad that the indulgent stretch has ended and return to their regular routines, in New Orleans, we’re just getting started. Twelve days after Christmas begins an even more joyous outpouring of music, food, and …

A Little Bit of Everything: Soup is Good PHO You in New Orleans

by Lorin Gaudin November 29, 2011 Food

In 1989 when I first learned there was a large Vietnamese community in New Orleans (and I was only 10+ years late on that find) and a new cuisine for me to explore, I was like a kid in a candy shop. Vietnamese food appealed on so many levels: flavor, aroma, herbs, meats, temperature, taste and plating. But it is …

by The Red Streetcar August 19, 2011 Events

I’m Your Captain: Riding and Performing in Endymion 2011

by Chuck Credo IV March 14, 2011 Events

To say that playing music during Mardi Gras is my favorite thing ever is likely an understatement. It seems that every year, my performances around Mardi Gras get wilder and wilder. Well, I am alive and well and made it through another Carnival time (how about you?). I often compare the telling of Mardi Gras stories to the scene in …

Part of the Mardi Gras tradition is catching beads during parades – something children and adults of all ages can enjoy. But, in New Orleans, the streets are lined with trees and, as you might expect, there are …

Feeling the cool breeze as you pass the beautiful mansions and monuments of the historic St. Charles area can be a life changing experience.

Pralines by Jean… a Sweet New Orleans Tradition

by Sunny Dawn Summers September 13, 2010 Food

I haven’t lived in New Orleans long enough to tire of casual daytime strolls down St. Charles Avenue. I love the rumble of the street car, and watching the interesting people pass by. The homes are mind-bogglingly big, the gardens lush and green, and the snacks quite tasty. This afternoon, I spent a little time at Pralines by Jean…and Cupcakes …
