r/NOLA

A while back I let the local Brits know about the fleeting Heinz baked bean availability at Costco. Sadly, that has passed but the support group for our loss has soldiered on.

We're doing a get together at Marie's on Burgundy this Friday, the 21st at 7pm. We're easy to spot, daft accents, general uneasiness in public, you know, classic British behaviour. Stop by and say wotcher if you like. After getting suitably lubricated we're off to the Led Zepp themed Burning Hell Burlesque at Allways.

It's been pure serendipity, it's a wonderful bunch of genuinely lovely, friendly people. A collection of Brits and hangers on basically. We have a WhatsApp group and if you'd like to join, please PM me. When I post the link it's flooded with cryptotwats and other scammy nuisances.

Stop by if you're feeling social. Pip pip.

Hey yall, looking for my veterans. I did 12 years Army before being medically separated. But I want to meet, hangout, train (physically as well as tactically) and whatever else. If you’re down, shoot me a DM! I recently moved into the area and need friends that are like me.

Gonna throw an edit in here, if anyone also has any volunteer opportunities to work with older vets at the VA or Veteran home, I would also be interested in that.

Hello, so 4 of us from UK are visiting your fair city in around three weeks, and for me at least, I'm a fan of (American) football and want to attend a game in person. Now, I only really follow NFL, my college ball knowledge is limited to name recognition. The dilemma I have is that we could go to either the Tulane game or LSU. Now, from this point on I beg forgiveness for any ignorance in my own lack of knowledge. I know LSU is a top tier team in SEC, the best conference(?) Looking at stadium capacities alone, I'm trying to sell LSU as the difference (in our soccer terms) as going to see our local team vs going to the Camp Nou (FC Barcelona). The other 3 in our group have no real interest or knowledge in football, but they don't mind going to a game for the whole gameday experience. What they don't really want to do is be on the freeway back to NO at 11pm on our only Saturday night when they could be already there, which is understandable.

So, is it worth going to LSU and forgoing most of our only Saturday night, or going to Tulane and basically getting the same experience. If you were a football fan, would you go to LSU alone and let them do their own Saturday? Unless the nightlife on Sundays is pretty much the same as Saturday, I doubt I can convince them to go to LSU. If I'm only going for the general experience of attending a game and not too concerned with the level of football, should I just go to Tulane? If you're a Tulane fan, I really am sorry if I am belittling your team, but as a super casual fan who only really knows about 10-15 college teams, I hope you can see where I'm coming from. Any advice is appreciated.

My parents and my sister and I are taking a family trip to New Orleans in October. I’m extremely excited! (Mind you, we’re all adults.) Anyways, I’d love some tips and tricks for best things to do in New Orleans! Perhaps from locals, or even just people that travel there a lot! I’d love to know the best food spots, coolest places to see… And of course some underrated areas that most locals like. Thanks so much!

I’m in need of a computer for probably less than an hour. Preferably would already have iTunes installed or have the ability to download it. My iPhone screen broke and started ghost tapping all over my passcode screen, so now I’m locked out of it. I’ve been told that if I update the phone a certain way from a computer with iTunes that it will give me one more shot at putting in the passcode correctly. I don’t have a recent backup of this phone and desperately do not want to lose the pictures of my kids on it. If you can help me out or know somewhere I can go for this, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Edit for clarity: I have since had my screen replaced and that’s when I figured out I’m “iPhone unavailable” locked out of my phone.
Only options are to do a factory reset and lose all my data on the phone or do this Hail Mary option to update my iOS via a computer, wherein it SHOULD give me one more chance to put my code in.

¡Hola a todos! Soy de España y desde hace tiempo me fascina Nueva Orleans, especialmente el Mardi Gras y toda la cultura que hay alrededor.

Conozco la imagen más turística del Mardi Gras, pero me interesa muchísimo más entender cómo se vive realmente desde el punto de vista de la gente que vive allí y participa en estas tradiciones. Me gustaría conocer la historia y las tradiciones detrás de los diferentes krewes, las Second Lines, las personas que participan en ellas y cómo han evolucionado con el paso del tiempo.

Me interesa especialmente la parte social: cómo empieza la gente a formar parte de estos grupos, cómo se organizan, qué ambiente se vive realmente durante estos acontecimientos, si la gente suele acudir con amigos o grupos y qué significado tienen estas tradiciones para la comunidad local más allá de la celebración que normalmente vemos los turistas.

Si sois de Nueva Orleans o habéis participado en Mardi Gras, en algún krewe, en Second Lines o en tradiciones similares, me encantaría conocer vuestras experiencias y escuchar vuestras historias. Me interesa especialmente conocer a las personas, la historia y el ambiente que hay detrás, más que la parte turística.

¡Gracias de antemano! Me encantará leer vuestras historias y experiencias.

My girl and I are flying in on the morning of Friday the 28th for the Kanye West concert. It’ll be our 1st time in New Orleans and on vacation by ourselves without kids. Any recommendations on amazing food spots or places to visit while we’re there? We’re in our late 30’s and will be staying in the Central Business District. Our vibe is more chill than getting crazy if that helps, but we might still be down to clown 😈. Thank you guys in advance!!

Hi, lovely friends of Reddit. Hope you’re doing well despite this Hotter than Hades weather. Anyway, I’ve got a little mountain of baby clothes looking for a new home…turns out babies think wearing something twice means they’ve outgrown it (just kidding!).

The sizes range from 6 to 18 months, all in excellent condition. About 70% are boys’ clothes and 30% are girls’, and some still have tags because I was clearly dreaming big.

I’d really love to pass these along to someone who can use them; please send me a DM! If you can pick them up, you’ll earn about 33 bonus points and my endless thanks. ❤️

P.S. I also have a nearly new diaper bag I used maybe twice; feel free to take that too! 🫶

I need advice on the best places to go, best restaurants, etc. hidden gems that most tourists don’t know about…. I’ve never been and I’d love to see what makes New Orleans so special!

Hiii my partner & I are planning a trip to NOLA in early October, staying in the French quarter.

Already planning to do a swamp tour, go to a gun range and some type of voodoo/witch tour, see a football game. Check out the garden district, street cars, bourbon street obviously.

We’re big foodies I would love some local insight on what places to eat. Looking for at least one night to have a nicer dinner as well.

As well as any recommendations just about anything would be much appreciated.

Edit: would like to add in that we’re traveling from Canada :)

Project Title: The Trans-Eurasian & Hemispheric Heavy Transit Corridor (TEHHTC)
Strategic Vision: Unification and peace through global economic integration, anchoring cross-continental cooperation via heavy industrial infrastructure and shared logistics networks.
Project Scope: A continuous, high-speed, multi-modal rail and heavy-asphalt transit corridor engineered to bypass domestic political gridlock through private-public industrial backing and comprehensive national security integration.
Routing & Phasing:
Phase 1: Breaking ground in New Orleans, engineering high-pile viaducts through the challenging Louisiana basin, and punching straight north along the Mississippi River spine to Chicago to lock in the primary commercial and industrial hub of the continent.
Phase 2: Extending westward across the Great Plains and cutting through the mountain passes of the Rockies and Cascades straight to the Pacific Northwest.
Phase 3: International expansion linking Mexico from the south and Canada from the northern tier to tap into heavy resource corridors, pushing north through British Columbia, the Yukon, and Alaska to bridge the Bering Strait and tie North America directly into Eurasia, while expanding loops through the Middle East, Africa, and Australia.
Execution & Workforce: Powered by a diverse coalition of everyday people from all walks of life and backgrounds—including specialized heavy-rail car repair crews, structural steel ironworkers, heavy equipment operators, local community builders, and master tradespeople—who understand the physical stress points of heavy infrastructure and how to keep a massive project moving forward under brutal conditions.
Strategy: Aligning with early administrative infrastructure pushes to secure initial momentum, ensuring the physical reality of the grid outlasts political cycles and permanently re-engineers global trade routes to foster economic interdependency and lasting peace.

I don’t drink matcha but I have a friend visiting who loves it. Any recs for places with good matcha? Looking for the right shade of green w/ no clumps….

We will be arriving on a Friday night at 12:10 am. What's the safest way to get to Hyatt in the French Quarter? They don't have an airport shuttle. We are a family with two little girls, 6 & 8.

Appreciate your help. I am a little worried, wondering if we should rebook a diff flight.
