Stuff to do

The weather probably won't be this nice again until late November. Take advantage of it.

  • The Historic New Orleans Collection will sponsor a Family Day on Saturday in conjunction with its ongoing What's Cooking in New Orleans: Culinary Traditions of the Crescent City exhibit. Events will include a "Parade of Cooks" beginning at 11:00 AM in Jackson Square and making its way over to the HNOC gallery at 533 Royal where there will be a street festival featuring the Storyville Stompers, Amanda Shaw, and free jambalaya. Of course, the exhibit will be open to the public as well.


  • The Cripple Creek Theater Company is presenting Clifford Odets's Waiting for Lefty every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 8:00 PM between now and May 26 at 2130 Magazine Street. Admission is free.


  • And finally, tomorrow the New Orleans Public Library will kickoff its annual Summer Reading Program with a party at the Latter Branch (5120 St Charles Ave) between 12:30 and 3:00 PM. The event will feature musical performances by Irvin Mayfield, and The Mowhawk Hunters, popcorn and snowballs, face painting, and also pony rides. See the library's website (nutiras.org) for more.


Don't say I never gave you any tips.

Update: TM alerts us to the NOFD fundraiser at Handsome Willy's this Sunday from 2PM til Midnight. Looks like a full slate of musical acts. Click here for more.
