New Orleans Day and Nightlife for August 14th – August 17th
There is a lot to do this weekend in and around the New Orleans area. If you’re looking for a place to experience New Orleans dining at its finest, or to take in our unique local culture at an event, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s see what’s happenin’ in nola this weekend.
The past few weekends have been missed because I’ve been out of town and haven’t had access to my Gambit Weekly. I’d like to mention that I heard rave reviews about Legendary Shack Shakers with Bobby Bare Jr. and the Happy Talk at One Eyed Jacks. Check out a video of the Happy Talk band in action here. A video of the Legendary Shack Shakers can be found here. And, this is a Bobby Bare Jr. video.
