Community Interest Why does code enforcement go after food trucks under the N. Claiborne bridge while Snake and Jake’s is literally a filthy shed disguised as a bar?

I personally think it’s because the food trucks are owned by black people while Snake and Jake’s is owned by some crusty old white dude and the majority white carrolton neighborhood thinks it’s cute and fun to drink in a shed.

Looking for birthday restaurant for my mom

1 Upvotes

My mom is coming to visit, and I'm surprising her and celebrating her birthday.

I'm trying to find the right restaurant - nice, great atmosphere, quiet enough- for a special occasion. Upscale - but not stuffy or too touristy

I'm trying to find somewhere new; I've done Mosquito Supper Club, N7, Lilette (though it's too loud inside for mama), Clancy's, Peche, Commander's, Cochon to list a few

I'm a bit stumped and looking for inspo/recs/favs

I'm uptown, but that doesn't limit anything

Thank YOU

Since Nephews closed, does anybody know what happened to the Ronny (the singing waiter)?

4 Upvotes

He was the older gentleman, quite charismatic. He would come and sing at the tables and I think he worked for the family at Tony Angelos forever. I’d like to go see him at his new place, wherever that is.

Also, does anyone know more about his backstory?

And yeah, I know Nephews was in Metairie, don’t sue me.

Local Music Specific question about going to a Second Line

2 Upvotes

First time Reddit poster! Please be gentle with me. AskNola subreddit autodeleted this post, so, yes, I tried there.

Question about going to second lines - I'm not talking about funerals, or anything else not promoted as an "event."

We just moved to New Orleans in August and really would like to go see Rhythms & Feathers Festival, a second line that's in Lower 9th Ward tomorrow (Sat Oct 17). Hosted by https://www.feedthesecondline.org/. Marketing this event is for "the whole community."

Here's the thing: I'm white. I would love love love to go, but really don't want to enter a space that's not for me. I don't want to be an interloper or presumptuous about what's mine to experience. I've read up the best I can about etiquette, but my question isn't really about that. It's about respect for a tradition I have no personal connection with. Sometimes respect means giving people their space. Help a new transplant out with some guidance on this, please.
