Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
Everything is coming up veggies these days, and for good reason! There’s only a few all vegan and/or vegetarian restaurants available in New Orleans, and quite a bit more than a few willing to eat it. Enter chefs Alex Davis and Jas, the green goddesses behind St. Roch Market’s latest […]
For over 36 years, Linda Keenan has offered natural fiber clothing for both women and men looking to beat the New Orleans heat at her boutique on Royal Street. In 1983, just a year before the World’s Fair, Linda Keenan moved to the French Quarter planning to go into real […]
When I moved from the Carrollton neighborhood and back to the Garden District three years ago, there was a house just a few doors down that had been almost wholly razed except for the foundation. As the months passed, construction began, and after a year or so, it almost looked […]
Though some might believe it makes me a terrible food writer, I’m notoriously bad at patronizing pop-ups.

Since 2013, Eater New Orleans (or should I say editor/writer extraordinaire Gwendolyn Knapp) would hit me up for dining reflections of the past year and predictions for the next. This year, I was not asked and I have to confess, I was a little bummed. Perhaps it was because the […]
