It’s often said that January is the time to reflect and prioritize, but there are several moments throughout the year where this naturally occurs, and August is certainly one of them. We’re closing in on the end of summer, getting our lives in order and preparing for the start of an exciting new cultural season in New Orleans.
With that in mind, we bring you two features, a Guide to the Cultural Season as well as Dinner and a Show. Our arts columnist and feature writer Rebecca Friedman has once again done an excellent job compiling an incredible calendar of performances and exhibitions at local theaters and museums through next year. This is such a fun piece to work on because we get a first look at the just-announced season of cultural offerings around town. Please note that not all organizations have their schedules confirmed at the time of publication, so be sure to check websites for the most current listings.
Dinner and a Show is a thoughtful dining piece by our culinary expert Jyl Benson, highlighting a host of savory spots for an elegant night on the town, before or after your cultural endeavor. These special local restaurants are a perfect complement to a fulfilling jaunt to the theater or museum. What an amazing array of outings to plan!
This issue also includes a great list of suggested peak summer activities, healthy frozen treats, fashion for an evening out and so much more.
We hope you’re able to slow down, soak in these last few weeks of summer and use our guides to plan for the exciting cultural season ahead.
Cheers!
