Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
Sometimes you come across a house that doesn’t have a horrifying, overall appeal, but there will be one particular piece that stands out. For example, the rest of the decorations on this home were simply not that spectacular. There was, however, this one “pièce de résistance” dangling oh so creepily […]
The other day I was cruising Uptown on Magazine Street when spotted this house less than a block away from Washington Avenue. I made the block, parked and walked over to take a closer look. As I stood there snapping shots, the owner came outside to walk his dog and […]
Spooky Halloween decorations are always a big plus, I mean, the whole purpose is to scare you stupid right? There are those rare occasions, though, when people get downright creative and dare I say it….fun? This gorgeous home on St. Charles Avenue posed skeletons all over their front yard and […]
It wasn’t the allure of a pillowcase full of candy or a license to attack my fellow ghouls with eggs and shaving cream. No, the reason I love All Hallows Eve is the costuming. How cool is it that you can choose to be anyone else…but yourself…for a whole night? […]
As you might already know, there are a couple of pizza-slingers gracing my “preferred” list like Slice and Cafe Nino, but I always am on the lookout for a contender. Ever since the road construction began on Earhart, I’ve been using Canal more frequently and I always pass by Theo’s […]
My neighborhood has been inundated by construction in the past several years. First it was storm repair, next Oak Street was lovingly remodeled, then Carrollton and St. Charles Avenues were repaved and sidewalk corners were too…remarked in all their glowing-orange glory. The most recent renovation involving gas lines required men […]
Housed in what used to be a specialty grocery store on the corner of General Pershing and Magazine Streets, La Petite Grocery has been one of those restaurants that I’ve heard people exclaim about for several years, but never got around to trying. Well, it finally happened. This past Friday, […]
My adorably precious shih-tzu Pippin loves his evening walks. Integral to his nightly ritual, we simply must stop and say hello to everyone on Oak Street, and since he’s spoiled rotten, I incorporate the busy street into my routes. That being said, it is an inevitability that we pass this […]
While taking some food photos at home the other day, I realized two things; the light in my apartment sucks and my funky, blue dinner wear does not flatter my food. Period. So John and I decided to go for a little stroll to the Super10 around the corner to see […]
There are a lot of wonderful colloquialisms I’ve learned living in New Orleans. Everyone knows about “Who Dat!” and “Where y’at?” but there are so many others that tickle me inside. For example, in any given environment, you are bound to be affectionately called “Boo” or “Baby ” by practically […]
*Photo courtesy of Andreas Koch @nolapus Due to my own relative physical inactivity, it never fails to amaze me when someone I know displays an overwhelming passion for a particular sport. I’m speaking here of individuals who are so enamored, they take it upon themselves and their busy schedules to […]
A while back, I posted a picture that was supposed to contain a giraffe and I get the feeling y’all might think I was pulling your collective legs, either that or I simply needed to be committed. This afternoon the fates were on my side because not only did my […]
