Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
A pair of Baton Rouge natives offer a comprehensive approach to interiors, everything from furnishings and art to scents and textiles, with their home goods shop in the Lower Garden District. It seemed destined that Katie Logan Leblanc and Jensen Killen would one day be working together in a field […]
Only two years after opening, the Downtown Marriott hotel undergoes renovations on its 220 guest rooms and names Kenneth Jacques as its new General Manager.

“Interesting,” the woman murmured. Her gaze flicked back and forth between my face and the almost empty coffee cup in her hands. I had never met her before. She was strikingly beautiful with dark, almond-shaped eyes, black-brown hair and smooth, olive-toned skin. A friend of my aunt’s, she had been […]
More than a century old, a renovated icon breathes new life into a long-defunct corner of Canal Street, anchoring the city’s growing bio-medical district.

A recent transplant discovers her calling through unexpected channels and becomes the latest creative asset to Crescent City interiors. Born in Warwick, Rhode Island, Holly Owen has spent much of her life in the Northeastern part of the country; from New Jersey and Connecticut to Cambridge, Massachusetts. But a little […]
Originating in Quebec, poutine was once considered something of a joke like ambrosia salad, deep fried butter or loose meat sandwiches. But over the past decade or so, poutine has become so popular that even discerning Canadians are finally admitting their love for this formerly debased dish. In case you’ve […]
Leased by the Domain Companies, the top two floors of the Contemporary Arts Center building transforms from storage space into a 40,000 square foot, full-service co-working facility aimed at our city’s creative entrepreneurs. Easily one of the hottest business trends worldwide, co-working spaces are redefining what it means to go […]
