Price on their board is $13.99 dark and $14.99 white, but when you pay it’s $14.55 dark and $15.59 white. They out here scamming people and everyone falling for it!

May seem like a dumb question, but we were planning on going to Howling Wolf tonight for a concert. I called to see if they would be offering refunds and they were very casual about the situation and stated the show is still going on. So wasn't sure if these are common occurrences and locals don't pay them much mind. Was planning on cancelling everything (and still am) but it's our last night so would be great to be able to do some things if possible, but obviously don't want to be stuck in a situation we shouldn't be in.

Love your city by the way!

Edit: Thanks, all! Planning on going out, looking forward to it.

Hey y'all,

Which store has the best butcher to get some steak. Whole foods, rouses or fresh market? Thank y'all 🤌

for a good tasting lunch (doesn't matter the cuisine but it's for a party of 1), coffee shop, thrift or vintage stores, and somewhere where i could run at.

Hi friends, NOLA-native but been away for awhile. Where can I purchase muscadine or scuppernongs in the area? Willing to drive 1-2 hours to MS or northshore or pick up on the way back on I-10 W. Thanks!

I'm from NYC and planning a bachelorette party in NOLAAAAA. Here is what I have planned so far for the nighttime activities, but I wanted to know if the places I have planned for the theme nights are appropriate for the theme (I don't want us to dress up in glitz and glam if it's a restaurant where everyone's wearing jeans and a tank top lol).

Also, if you have any other general suggestions on places to go/things to do, PLEASE let me know!

Burlesque:
-Steamboat Natchez Jazz Cruise

-Kermit's Mother-in-Law Lounge

Girls Gone Wild (Animal Print):

-Dinner and Jazz show - The Maison on Frenchmen St.

-The World Famous Cats Meow Karaoke & Scavenger Hunt Bar Crawl

Glitz and Glam (sequins, rhinestones): This is on a Sunday*

-Dinner - House of Blues

Coming to NOLA in October, will need to book 3 nights hotel lodging. I would like to keep the cost down to $250/night including all taxes and fees (btw, what the heck is the "fees" I see added to a potential hotel reservation cost when I looked at the Hilton Riverside online?). Hoping for a quiet safe hotel, clean, with a microwave and mini fridge, 2 double queen beds.

I do not want noise of any french quarter late night partying and music, but we do want to visit the famous cemetery where movies have been shot, see a voodoo shop and a tarot card fortune teller, get picked up for a swamp tour, have a beer in a french quarter jazz club.

I'm cleaning out a place up Saint charkes at the Riverbend and there's got to be about 40 - 50 bed pillows here. Some memory foam ones, some copper ones. If I leave them here tonight they will be thrown out tomorrow. What would you do with them. Anyone know of any pillow fight promoters out there?

Hello all! I’m a 31M (divorced with a beautiful baby girl if that makes any difference) looking to take my first solo trip. I love New Orleans and have been a few times and am looking to come back. It’ll be my first ever solo trip, any recommendations on things I should do or partake in to meet some new people/try new experiences when I’m there? Any suggestions will be welcomed!

Hey everyone! We’re heading to New Orleans in October for a bachelorette party (8 of us: 7 women, 1 man) and our bride really wants a seafood boil. We’re staying at an Airbnb just outside the French Quarter, but there’s no yard, so we’re looking for somewhere else to make this happen.
Does anyone know a place that hosts private seafood boils, or a chef/caterer with their own space? We’d love something more intimate and private than a typical restaurant setting. We’re hoping to stay in the $50-$70 per person range but any recommendations are appreciated.

I am planning to move to new Orleans in 2 months, I want to know if there are any budget friendly places in the city I can rent preferably under 1000 dollars a month

I have looked at 200 carondelet which is high on my list, and is there anything I should look out for in the city other than the obvious (street side hustlers, stay out of the 9th ward and central city, ect.)

And another question on how the job market is looking because I plan to get a job immediately when I get there

I will be in New Orleans for a week and have reservations at many creole/cajun restaurants. I am looking for some good options for when we want a change of pace such as pizza, burgers, tacos etc. Bonus if they have a happy hour. Thanks!!

Hey y’all!!!

Happy Fourth!!!!

I was wondering what everyone’s plans for tonight are? I currently have no plans and just moved back to the city one week ago today. Previously lived here from 2007-2010 for graduate school.

I’m looking for something fun to do tonight.

Any and all recommendations for things to do welcomed!

Thanks y’all!

I’ve been scouring Instagram, Facebook and Google trying to find anywhere that does liquid BBLs, lip filler, facial balancing, etc.

PREFERABLY black-owned, which is where I’m having trouble. A lot of these places don’t seem to be POC-centered or match the aesthetics that POC injectors/professionals cater to.

Coming to your wonderful city for 5 days, open to everything!

I saw a couple posts in this sub asking similar questions, but I’m coming to NOLA for a conference in a week and my friend and I want to get tattoos. We want to do walk ins because my friend didn’t want to have to pay in advance for a deposit. Considering that we are not planning on getting tattoos related to NOLA. We both like more modern styles and I like anime/comic stuff, and both of us are still deciding. Where is the best place to do this? We’ll be right by the French Quarter.

I understand people hate airbnbs in New Orleans because it reduces the housing supply for local residence, but what about all the wealthy transplants from up north that have second homes here in the corner or in surrounding neighborhoods that they only occupy for a few weeks or a few months a year when they come down to visit? I feel like nobody really says anything about that but that also creates the same issue. Turns our city into a playground for the Rich and takes away housing supply from working class individuals that make this city what it is

I'm talking sloppy messes that are fun, but also good at their craft. Silly is also a plus.

I want to watch the Mexico vs England World Cup match tomorrow in a place that would be filled with Mexico fans. I’m local and I know Finn McCool’s or Cooter Browns will be packed, but I want something more unique. Bonus points if they have good food. Willing to drive to Kenner or the West Bank, if something stands out more.

Hey yall! Does anyone have any trusted tarot readers, psychics, or astrologers they can recommend? There are so many spiritual shops in the city but I don't want something touristy and overpriced. Spiritual people, who do yall go to regularly for a good reading? Lol I'm from here and live here, I tried to post this in r/neworleans but it got taken down.
