If you’re looking for something different, St. James Cheese Company has a sophisticated alternative to fish fry plates with their selection of gourmet tinned seafood (which happens to be super chic and popular right now, thanks to social media). They suggest pairing with some good, crusty bread, a salad, and perhaps a glass of wine for an easy Lenten or anytime spring lunch or dinner. Plus all tinned seafood is 10% off during Lent!
End the week on a healthy note with Move Ya Brass’ “Stretch Ya Brass” spring yoga series, each Friday, at 6 p.m. in New Orleans City Park on the Great Lawn near City Putt.
