Under The Gaydar: Let Me Take A #Selfie

March 29, 2021 By Tony Leggio

The selfie craze has caught on like wildfire.  This new photo phenomenon is nothing new, however; in fact, I dare say it has been around since there have been cameras.  Remember setting a timer on the camera and jumping into the frame right before the buzzer went off, hopefully capturing the moment without cutting off anyone’s head?  Now the stress and exercise has been removed … [Read more...] about Under The Gaydar: Let Me Take A #Selfie

Bartender of the Month: March 2021

March 17, 2021 By Tony Leggio

I cannot express the happiness in my soul to be able to start writing this column again.  It has been a year since I was able to sing the praises of some of the hardest working people in the hospitality industry.  Whether you call them bartenders, mixologists, bar chefs, or servers of happiness, these people spend their time creating an atmosphere of festivity, … [Read more...] about Bartender of the Month: March 2021

With COVID still making its horrible mark on the world, a life spent in quarantine has become the norm for the last year.  Quarantine fatigue and the holidays created quite the unforgiving combination this Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s. Our numbers have risen and people’s nerves are fraught. Trust me, I understand your pain. I consider myself a social animal so this … [Read more...] about Under the Gaydar

You Say You Want A “Resolution”

February 17, 2021 By Tony Leggio

Happy 2021!  The terrible year that was 2020 has ended and so far 2021 is shaping up to be another rollercoaster ride. But with each incoming year comes new hope and a fresh outlook, hence why people love making New Year’s resolutions.

Mardi Gras 2021: A Lesson In Pivoting and Partying

February 16, 2021 By Tony Leggio

Having lived in New Orleans my entire life, I have discovered two very important things about our city and its citizens.  We love to party. And we are resilient beyond all expectations.  Like the old Air Supply song, we New Orleanians know about “Making Love Out of Nothing At All.”  So when the COVID threat forced parades, balls and parties to shut down completely during Mardi … [Read more...] about Mardi Gras 2021: A Lesson In Pivoting and Partying

Parklets: The New Outdoor Gay Space

February 8, 2021 By Tony Leggio

New Orleans is a city whose foundation is based on its culinary and cocktail scenes. But in the past 10+ months since COVID hit, these industries have taken a severe beating resulting in unprecedented business closures. And even though we have increasingly made strides in bouncing back, it has been quite the uphill battle. How are the city and several LGBT+ businesses … [Read more...] about Parklets: The New Outdoor Gay Space

Tony’s Top Fabulous Five October 20, 2020

October 20, 2020 By Tony Leggio

If there is one thing I have embraced since this quarantine started, it’s that life is too short and nothing is guaranteed. You need to embrace the little enjoyments. Before I kept my guilty pleasures to myself; now I am no longer sorry or embarrassed about the things I like, no matter how silly or crazy they may be. You have nothing to feel guilty of! Here … [Read more...] about Tony’s Top Fabulous Five October 20, 2020
