End of summer Highlights

We hope you’re having a wonderful summer so far! New Orleans slows down a little this time of year, but there are still some wonderful events going on.

If you’re a foodie, then you know that New Orleans is one of the greatest food towns in the United States. We used to be known as a city with 500 restaurants and one menu, but that’s far from the case now. Come and see the range of cuisines available - we have high end and award-winning Senegalese food, Haitian dishes and the Jamaican Jerk House is enjoying great publicity right now.
As summer is relatively slow, it’s actually a great time to come and sample some menus. All of August, and some of September, sees the COOLinary promotion. A huge list of restaurants across the city offer hugely discounted fixed price lunches and dinners, a perfect way to try places that might otherwise be just out of your budget, or just enjoy a new experience without much risk. Broaden your gastronomic horizons with a spontaneous trip!
As always, here are a few events coming up that we think are worth a trip.
