Hello, and welcome to the first edition of a new online magazine, Out All Day: New Orleans. A huge, sincere thanks for signing up to this weekly newsletter - we’ll try our best to bring you the best of the city’s cultural highlights in an easy-to-digest form every week.
We’re going to be covering everything from the arts and dining out to hotel reviews and family events…anything that looks interesting, really. It’s a sister publication to our nightlife site, Up All Night, so if you want round-ups of burlesque, drag, cabaret, etc, then head over there.
The wonderful cast of As You Like It (pictured) are our first cover stars - you can catch this great production of one of Shakespeare’s best comedies this weekend. We also review the Queen Nefatari’s Egypt exhibit at NOMA and the Van Gogh Immersive Experience, as well as reviewing Doris Metropolitan, Superior Seafood and Hotel Peter & Paul.
Be sure to check our seven day highlights diary (updated every Wednesday) - it’s Restaurant Week AND Sazerac Week - and the news section for quick bites of, well, news!
If you’re reading this, you’re already in the draw for a $50 gift voucher or a recipe book from The Ace Hotel, winners to be picked at random and announced next Wednesday. In the meantime, thank you so much once again, we so appreciate your reading and subscribing!
Have a wonderful week, hope you manage to stay cool, and much love to you, wherever you are.
