Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
With all the fabulous food to be found at the 2016 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival presented by Shell, it’s surprising that you’d even have an appetite for anything other than Crawfish Monica, red beans and rice, or cochon de lait po-boys. But you know, there are always those […]
The more I look at houses for sale, the more I am disappointed by the culture-eradicating renovations I discover. Developers and contractors are tearing the heart and soul out of New Orleans’ architecture and it honestly makes me want to weep. While I appreciate some new design, there’s a lot […]
Once again springtime has arrived, the flowers are blooming, the bees are buzzing, the birds are singing and everyone is feeling that oh-so natural feeling of excitement, stimulation and arousal. It’s no surprise that at the onset of spring, our pagan ancestors would dance naked under the sun, make love […]
Springtime is upon us and along with blooming flowers and warmer weather, a literal multitude of festivals will be filling the city with food, music and fun. Amidst all of this frivolity, one can’t help but consider our furry friends who are left at home, watching us walk through the […]
Tapping into the hearts of locals and tourists alike, Theatre On Tap’s founder and artistic director Heidi Malnar seeks to entertain, educate and inspire a new generation of dancers with “Camp Rhythm.” Growing up an army brat constantly on the move, Heidi Malnar discovered stability, passion and a love for […]

Not to sound like a snot, but growing up around a major metropolis like San Francisco has taught me a few solid rules to follow when parking in the city. First, never park illegally or you will most definitely be ticketed, booted and/or towed. Second, never ever leave anything inside […]
Would it be too much to ask my beloved to buy me a house for Valentine’s Day? It would undoubtedly fill me with an overwhelming sense of love, not to mention acting much like a potent aphrodisiac. “I promise baby, we’ll break in every room!” You think I jest?
Crispy, crunchy, spicy and delicious whether it’s hot out of the fryer or cold from being stored in your portable ice chest, everyone remembers the tasty, waiting-for-the-parades-to-roll treat that can only be Popeye’s fried chicken. Now you’re older and wiser, but you still have staked a place on the route […]
In addition to a two-bedroom in the French Quarter (renting for $950 no less!), one of the first apartments I looked at was in Bywater. It was a gigantic half of a double with two bedrooms, high ceilings, transoms, hardwood floors and a built-in bookcase in the parlor going for […]
Unless I’m overcome with a nostalgic craving for Double-Stuf Oreos and ice-cold milk, most store-bought cookies are just not worth the calories they cost. Not that I’m watching my figure (it’s pretty much the same … fat), but I estimate that if you’re going to gorge yourself on sweets, why […]
