r/NOLA

I’m in the area unexpectedly for the night and want to try king cake. I know it’s out of season. Is there anywhere I can get one?

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.

Planning a trip for the 9th or 10th to come in from BR and am interested in alt spaces. Going with friends and looking for fun outside of bars, clubs, etc that are alt. If anyone has any ideas of some places to check out plz let me know!

Cool, quirky, non-Hallmark greeting and birthday cards? I prefer NOLA related cards if possible. Can anyone help?

I have two panels, both on Saturday.

This first one is: Preview of Halloween Horror Nights 35 at 5:45 in room 292. We’ll go over a preview of HHN 35 in Orlando. We’ll cover what’s been announced, rumors of what is still to be announced, and tips and tricks to make the most of your visit.

The second one is: Horror Films of 2026 (so far) at 8:00 in room 291. In this panel, we will cover the horror films that have released so far this year and discuss our favorites and least favorites. We’ll also discuss the ones we’re most looking forward to for the rest of the year.

Please come by! I love audience interaction and conversation during the panels.

In 2006, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band was awarded the National Medal of Arts, the nation's highest honor for artistic excellence. The award was presented to Benjamin Jaffe and co-founder of Preservation Hall, Sandra Jaffe, who accepted the award from President and Mrs. Laura Bush in an Oval Office ceremony on November 9, 2006. The citations read: "With enormous talent and pride, this ageless ensemble has toured the world displaying the unbreakable spirit of New Orleans and sharing the joy of New Orleans jazz with us all."

I have an extra ticket to Today’s concert it hasn’t started yet no I’m not a bot I’d litterally just send it to you and you’d chill with me my boyfriend and my female cousin we are f x f (single) x m (22-25 ages) black✨ in case you are looking for what vibes we are drinking throwing athhhssss

Most people in Louisiana are working harder than their parents did and falling further behind.

That’s not a feeling. It’s in the numbers. And when you lay the numbers out one after another, they stop looking like bad luck and start looking like a decision — a state finishing last, going backwards, and choosing policies that keep it there.

Let the charts tell it.

We’re starting to look into hotel block options hoping for recommendations!

Since all of our guests will be traveling in (including us!), this is truly a destination wedding for everyone. Ideally, we’d love something within about a 10-minute walk of the venue and around the $150/night range, though I realize that may be a bit ambitious in the French Quarter.

More than anything, I don’t want to book guests into a budget hotel with poor reviews, questionable cleanliness, or lackluster service just to hit a price point. I’d rather find a place that feels welcoming, has a little New Orleans charm, and gets people excited to stay there while still being as budget-conscious as possible.

If any hotels come to mind, I’d love to hear your recommendations!

I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED: VENUE IS AT THE COURT OF TWO SISTERS.

Please and thank you

LEGAL EXPERT ANALYSIS: "THIS INDICTMENT IS DEAD"

Loyola Law Professor Dane Ciolino

According to Ciolino, the Supreme Court's order effectively puts the entire matter on hold and remands it back to the criminal district court. However, he emphasized that the language the Supreme Court uses sends a clear message.

"It's clear to me from the language of this Supreme Court order that this indictment is dead," Ciolino said. "It's just being sent back for the nails to be put in the coffin."
Ciolino expects a flurry of upcoming legal filings as the case returns to the lower court.

The Supreme Court made it clear that they expect the attorney general to file a motion to recuse Special Prosecutor Laurie White over the suggested conflicts of interest. Beyond that, Ciolino anticipates a motion to recuse the judge, as well as a motion to quash the indictment entirely based on procedural irregularities. These irregularities include the breach of grand jury secrecy and the announcement of the indictment in a closed courtroom.

“The New Orleans Klezmer All-Stars have been an active performing ensemble since 1991. In these times when folk music has meant rigidly sticking to a cliched format or collecting hackneyed stylistic features, the klezmer all stars have attempted to challenge and stretch boundaries...but without sacrificing the most exciting features of social music; driving rhythms, passion, and clear melodies that are sublime but remain memorable.

Using the inspiration of the city where they began, the band has formed a unique approach to traditional melodies and, even more unusual, a way of writing in the style that leads to a sort of Yiddish Impressionism– keeping audiences dancing but cutting to the depths of their cultural imaginations, even where they didn't realize they had one.”

I was looking at the map of licensed STRs and man the bywater, marigny, and central city are just blocks upon blocks of Strs. I never realized the density. Central city in particular has a few stretches where every unit on that block is an STR...basically a for profit hotel that tax dollars pay the cost of parking and street maintenance. Mid city has a stretch too caddy corner to liuzas as well... purpose build "condos" that are 100% str.

Was also interesting to note that in all of the east there are only 7 STRs, in West end there are just 6, and in Lakeview 7.

Canucks and fellow New Orleans maple leaf lovers, where are we watching the World Cup game on Saturday?

Rusty Nail?

Hi everyone I’m a nursing student and single mom, I was recently let go from my job. I’m 2 months behind on my car note and other bills I don’t have enough money to pay rent. Is there anyone hiring overnight jobs or anything honestly.
