Half of this month will bring plenty of purple, green and gold fun and festivities across the city. Cocktail culture is perhaps as deeply entrenched in the fabric of New Orleans as Carnival itself. In this issue, we highlight some of the most popular cocktails and iconic drinks, many of which were invented right here at home. We also get inside tips from the pros behind the bar and the inspiration behind many classic and innovative libations.
The latter half of the month remains to clean up the glitter, rehydrate and get our healthy habits in order. It’s a great time to show yourself some love and embrace your heart health with some easy tips and tricks from the pros to make sure yours sticks to the beat, whether dancing in the streets during Carnival or getting back on track afterwards.
Lent is also a great time to take stock (literally) in your financial health. We’ve got investment tips from the pros to guide planning for your future, whether you are just getting started or are ready to retire. It’s never too late to look ahead.
As in every issue, we have a complete round up of places to enjoy the city, the latest restaurant news, recipes, home advice and much more.
Celebrate and dance no one is watching, because, well, they are dancing too. And when Ash Wednesday finally rolls around, be sure to rest up! Festival season is right around the corner.
