Well I started this group because I found myself with nothing to do on the weekends at times. So instead of just sitting on the couch, watching tv, I thought I could get a group of people who had nothing to do and were bored, and we could go out and do anything from having ice cream to going to the beach. So if you find yourself wanting to do something on the weekend, just start a meetup event and post it. It does not have to be me setting up events, you can do so as well. See ya!

Everyone loves to be the first in most anything, but restaurants especially here in New Orleans. Some of the restaurants are weeks old- others months. All types of foodies from fine dining to mom and pop shops - but never buffets, cafeterias or chains. Some restaurants will offer a fixed price for a chef's selected course and/or dine as you will from your choice - the latter is great for the light eater or budget concerned. We predominantly dine on Wednesday evenings @ 6:30pm and offer the most …

We are viewing together films -- including documentaries -- that are "mainstream" or "classic" or "independent" or even "different". Always followed by a discussion. (I've been doing this for 10 years.) We meet in local movie theatres, cultural centers, people's homes around town, or even outdoors using a wall and a projector. Online viewing -- like youtube clips -- and the better television programs -- like PBS, BookTV -- are parts of the offerings. As not to make anyone uncomfortable or shock …

To provide details and/or a knowledgeable companion from a local restaurant reviewer. So many restaurants - so little time! Attention tourists and transplants! Don't fall for all the hype of a slick advertisement - my honest opinion from a native who has dined out for overy forty years. Also, perhaps, you would like to try an off the beaten path independent restaurant - many of which are featured in my weekly, local cable TV show, Restaurant Revue (Orleans Cox Cable, Channel 76, Wednesdays and S …

We don't have to wait 6 months, and the places don't have to agree to special deals, or to appear on anyone's show. There are far too many amazing places to try in New Orleans, but let's see where everyone wants to go, and give it a whirl. Pop-ups, BBQ, pizza, eclectic, ethnic, or traditional - all are fair game. Only one rule - be nice, or stay home.

Ladies, let’s face it. It’s time we make time with our favorite girls more then just lunch once a month. This group will host how to travel nights, special girl’s only getaways that are as short as an afternoon cruise to a week in Rome. Re-connect with our best girl friends, daughters, sisters and moms. There is no such thing as a solo traveler in this group. We can be paired up with a roommate we meet at one of our event nights. Be prepared to have experiences like no other. We deserve some tim …

Okay, here's the deal: We all work too much. We've somehow forgotten how to have fun and this group's focus is primarily to reteach us how. Singles are encouraged, but we aren't what could be called a singles group. The fun society takes all comers who want to cut loose and make questionable decisions all in the name of having a good time.

I have lived in BR for many years but after moving away for 6 years, I came home and realized that I didn't have many "good" friends left. You know, the kind that are ready to go try a new or fun restaurant or have a BBQ at the house. After having experienced a couple other Meetup groups, I decided it was time for me to do it myself. I have often been termed "the life of the party" so I am looking for some people who want to laugh until it hurts and share good times with their fellow neighbors! …
