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.

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 …

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. A list of new restaurants will be continuously updated and selection w …
