New Orleans cuisine is equipped to soften the blow of cold snap
Well of course, but in close support is alcohol, dancing and yes . . . rumpy pumpy. alcoholfoodnew orleanssexwinter
Bad Decision Bars
This bit of froth I actually found amusing. It is wryly written, it is about New Orleans and alcohol — oops the latter two are of course at one — and most of all, it is true. I think that were I a student at any of the terrific universities in New Orleans, I wouldn’t…

Walking, dawdling and eating beignets in New Orleans
Sums it up really: But the best concert I saw cost nothing, at what has to be the best free venue in New Orleans, Three Muses on Frenchmen Street, in the Seventh Ward, just outside the French Quarter. Why? It’s intimate but not crowded. (While the staff members at the door don’t collect covers, they…
Tradition is a Temple
Here are a couple of trailers from this eagerly awaited documentary or a hymn to the life blood that infuses NOLA.

Intimate discussions with contemporary New Orleans musicians highlight their history, upbringing and how tradition has shaped their…
