This Forgotten Building In Louisiana Is Now A Food Lover’s Paradise Worth The Trip

The towering white columns holding up this food hall were rescued from a demolished water works building. Yes, a building borrowed from another building, and it worked beautifully. Now consider why that matters. This market opened in 1875, sat empty for nearly seven years after a hurricane, and still refused...

“Skylark,” by William Christy Smith, University of Louisiana at Lafayette Press, 246 pages. I’m a sucker for novels set in 1980s New Orleans, a time and place that shaped my earliest years but which I was far too young to fully absorb. Such is the case with William...

More than politics are afoot in St. Tammany this month

SHAKESPEARE: Come to the Abita Springs Museum Amphitheatre if you dare starting Nov. 7 to check out William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" produced in SPLatFest-style for an audience under the stars. But be brave. Those cloven hooves sprouting leaves will also be there, and the SPLaTFest crew has not promised to be nice. Have you seen the fairies they travel with? SPLatFest is the self-described "in your face" theater company that stages Shakespeare as spicy, provocative, off-the-wall adventures. And it starts with their choice of forest folk, the ancient, amoral ones from folklore who love tricking and taunting humans. An argument between their king and queen, Oberon and Titania, can upend an entire forest. The fairies are a generally troublesome lot who definitely do not grant wishes. And Puck, with his penchant for magic pranks and mistakes, well, you wouldn't believe what he can do. In addition to the fairy folk, there are four young Athenian lovers - Hermia, Helena, Demetrius and Lysander - who swap affections roughly every quarter hour. A troupe of gloriously earnest amateurs, the Mechanicals, rehearse what may be the worst play-within-a-play ever staged. And back in Athens, Duke Theseus and Hippolyta, the Amazon queen he won in war, preside over the whole mess. This year's production marks SPLaT Fest's fourth year partnering with Abita Springs to produce Shakespeare their way — outside, under the stars and with a whole lot of twists and turns. Julie Generes directs the 5 p.m. shows over two weekends, Nov. 7-8 & 14-15. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors 60 and older. Bring a chair, bring a blanket, and we can't say this often enough when Puck is around, but keep an eye on your head. Get tickets at https://bontempstix.com/.

Women Stormed This Hotel Bar in 1949, and New Orleans Still Reenacts It Every September

In 1949, roughly 250 women danced through the doors of a New Orleans bar that had admitted them only on Mardi Gras Day, and the hotel has thrown a party about it nearly every year since. The Roosevelt opened in 1893 and has spent more than 130 years as a fixture of the Central Business […]
