Irish Cultural Museum

December 31, 2019 By Frank Perez

The old Hibernia Bank tower no longer looms over the CBD skyline, but it does provide revelers on Bourbon Street a familiar landmark.   From St. Patrick’s Church to the stately Gallier Hall to Tracey’s and the old Parasol’s Bar in the Irish Channel to Fahy’s Irish Pub and Erin Rose in the French Quarter, the influence of the Irish in New Orleans is everywhere. … [Read more...] about Irish Cultural Museum

World Citizen: Allen Ginsberg as Traveller

December 31, 2019 By Frank Perez

World Citizen: Allen Ginsberg as Traveller.  David S. Wills.  Beatdom Books, 2019.  169 pages. “Om Shri Maitreya.” “Om Shri Maitreya.” “Om Shri Maitreya.”  So chanted Allen Ginsberg at a demonstration to legalize marijuana in New York City in 1965.  It wasn’t just weed that expanded Ginsberg’s worldview. In World Citizen: Allen Ginsberg as … [Read more...] about World Citizen: Allen Ginsberg as Traveller

Authentic, Gourmet Chinese at Dian Xin

December 17, 2019 By Charles Pizzo

People born in China sometimes don’t recognize Chinese food in the USA. They see similarities, but the dish in question does not exist back home. That’s because much of the Chinese food served in this country has been westernized to appeal to American tastes. In Asia, I discovered that the same thing also happens in reverse; I was served spaghetti with seaweed and scrambled … [Read more...] about Authentic, Gourmet Chinese at Dian Xin

Bartender of the Month: Jay Jay

December 17, 2019 By Tony Leggio

The Crescent City is all about “rebirth”; after Katrina, the city transformed itself for the better and keeps improving.  We also now have more bars and restaurants than we have ever had and our LGBT+ bar scene is thriving.   Over the years, many gay establishments have opened and closed, but recently one major transformation has been at the corner of St. Louis … [Read more...] about Bartender of the Month: Jay Jay

Trodding the Boards December 17, 2019

Period of Adjustment at Loyola’s Lower Depths Theatre through Dec. 21 Some people like to see things they’re familiar with; they’ll go to New York and get tickets to Phantom of the Opera or Chicago or Wicked. They’ll attend Romeo and Juliet rather than Troilus and Cressida (not that there’s much opportunity to see the latter). Similarly, here, audiences flock to … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards December 17, 2019

Giving Back: Celebrating One of US!

December 17, 2019 By Catherine Roland

Some excellent news from my good friend Julie Thompson, Co-Chair of New Orleans’ PFLAG Chapter for many years. A good number of academic scholarships are given out yearly by the PFLAG Board, helping many LGBTQ+-identifying young adults with their post-high school education. This initiative has changed many lives. A young man named Ross was a recipient of a small PFLAG … [Read more...] about Giving Back: Celebrating One of US!

LGBTQ Horoscopes December 17–30, 2019

December 17, 2019 By Dan Beck

Astrology offers the LGBTQ community a chance to reclaim a space lost to modern science and religion. Ancient pagan cultures venerated divination and celebrated what we now recognize as modern gay elements. These horoscopes are for your entertainment, so let’s start the party that will take us to the stars! As you’re reading this column, your mind will be occupied by the … [Read more...] about LGBTQ Horoscopes December 17–30, 2019

Party Down December 17, 2019

December 17, 2019 By Tony Leggio

I love a holiday, any holiday! I celebrate them all.  But I especially love this time of the year that begins with Southern Decadence and ends with Christmas.  Who am I kidding, I celebrate year-round, any reason for a party.   The last two weeks have been a whirlwind from my Thanksgiving road trip with Mama Dawn to the crazy party scene in December, and it’s only the first … [Read more...] about Party Down December 17, 2019

It’s the holiday season and everything in NOLA is festive and gay.  I love everything about this time of the year.  Christmas is great, but that just heralds our next big season, Mardi Gras!  Here are just a few of the things to keep your days (and nights) busy.  (If you have a fundraiser, party, show or event coming up and would like to be listed in the … [Read more...] about New Orleans Hot Happenings December 17–30, 2019
