Week of Aug. 26: Get Fit on the Greenway, Jimmy Buffet and Football

Get Fit on the Greenway announced their fall line-up of community activities with plenty of ways to incorporate physical activity into your routine in a fun way, Aug. 26 through Oct. 14. Whether you are into yoga, dancing, kickboxing or power walking, there’s something for almost everyone. Even better, classes are free and open to the public.

Breakfast of champions alert! Coffee Science’s savory croissants are here. They had us at “caprese.” We’ll take ours with an iced peach matcha to kick start the day.

Football is back! Tulane’s Green Wave kicks off their opening game this Thursday, Aug. 29, with a special halftime show featuring Tulane Bands and a performance by the fantastic ABBA-themed dance group Voulez Krewe. Catch that wave!

Summer isn’t over yet; channel your inner-Jimmy Buffet and celebrate the weekend with Urban South’s Cheeseburgers and Paradise party this Saturday, Aug. 31, 12 to 5. p.m. Enjoy fully loaded burgers, beer and live music by Shark Attack.

Be sure to listen to the finale of our 2024 season of Beyond the Kitchen with chef Nate Barfield of the new Hot Stuff hot plate restaurant Uptown on Maple Street. Plus, catch up with any episodes you may have missed here. Like and subscribe! Who should we interview next season?
