Baton Rouge knows it’s got a reputation: You come here to tailgate for LSU football games, or to navigate some business dealings at the state Capitol, then you hightail it to New Orleans or Lafayette.

It was a year of upheaval for New Orleans restaurants.

The holidays are upon us in the Crescent City!

New Orleans’ largest green space is filled with iconic oak trees, alligators, feathered friends, and so much to do that you could spend an entire month there without traversing the entire thing.

In the past few years, it’s been serious boom times for the New Orleans restaurant scene (and of course the drinking scene), and few places is that fact more readily apparent than the stretch of Magazine St from the Lower Garden District all the way down to Audubon Park.

When it comes to the most important meal of the day, New Orleans is better known for its jazz brunches than traditional breakfasts.

With Jazz Fest in the rearview mirror, New Orleans is slowing down and readying itself for summer’s oppressive heat and humidity.

Living near the Gulf of Mexico means being surrounded by rivers made for tubing, marshes and seas for fishing, and pristine beaches.

Everyone knows that the Crescent City has rich French, Spanish, Creole, and even Italian roots.

New Orleans is all about being local.
