Your curated arts and culture guide to New Orleans
[Skip the smalltalk - click here for this week’s edition]
October is almost here, the city shifting into Halloween mode for the whole month. We’ve rounded up the haunted houses, the parades and the shows that celebrate the season, and put them all in one place for you. We’re so grateful to you for subscribing to the newsletter - if you haven’t clicked through in a while, you might be surprised how much we've evolved. I know it started out as pretty much just my blog, but thanks to you, we’ve expanded, and we’re commissioning writers and covering more of the city with each passing week. Try us out, I hope you’ll find we’re getting more professional. Almost like a real magazine.
This week:
The Ultimate Guide to Halloween in New Orleans: From haunted houses to tarot hearses, Krewe of Boo, Vampire Balls, spooky shows and Howl-O-Weenie Dog Costume Contests, it’s all here in one spot for your planning convenience.
City Eats New Orleans: If you like dining out in the city, this new book is an essential new guide, with restaurant reviews, recipes and interviews with the chefs that make it all happen. We talk to author Beth D’Addono.
Welcome In - Chef Nicole Cabrera Mills of Pêche: A chef interview of our own. Chef Nicole was just named one of Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs, 2024. Find out about her cooking philosophy, the ingredient she puts in everything and her guilty pleasure…a secret dish known only as ‘basilog’.
The reviews are in! We sent our reporters Dorian Hatchet and David S. Lewis to cover the first night of Penny Dreadfuls by Tennessee Williams, Crescent City stage’s modernised production of A Doll’s House, and the new, country-themed show by Cirque du Soleil, Songblazers.
Our News feed has Audubon Zoo raising endangered crane chicks, a fall wine dinner program from Spanish restaurant Costera and NOMA reviving their acclaimed Elders Sacred Talks series.
Your curated seven-day arts and culture guide, includes The International Arts Festival, Oktoberfest Celebrations, the Black Americana Fest and all the theatre going on this week, including Out of the Boil (see ad, below).
