Now that Carnival is a memory, it’s time for those New Orleans resolutions to kick into gear. Move Your Brass has you covered with its post-Mardi Gras fitness challenge. Participants can take classes and earn points to move up on the leaderboard. The challenge is free and open to all levels of fitness with the goal of getting you ready for your own fitness secondline. Weekly classes take place along the Lafitte Greenway. Register by March 15.
Post-Carnival means Lenten specials are back on the menu across the city. We are loving this salmon quiche available at La Boulangerie (as well as crawfish pies and vegetarian options) to fill your belly deliciously. Pick up some baked goods for dessert while you’re there and voila! You’re good to go all weekend.
Drink and eat local for both Lent and St. Patrick’s Day at Secondline Brewing. Lenten approved food trucks and the return of the brewery’s Irish stout are both on the menu for March.
If you’re looking for something a little more cheesy, Pizza Domenica now has their popular crawfish artichoke dip on Fridays giving new emphasis to TGIF.
Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day all month long with Gris-Gris NOLA’s take on the frozen Irish Coffee, plus some menu specials coming up. Sign us up for a go-cup for the Irish Channel parade!
Snoball alert! Stands are starting to open up for the season. Hansen’s Sno-Bliz recently opened for its 86th season. Imperial Woodpecker opened on Mardi Gras day. Sal’s Sno-Balls opened on Ash Wednesday for its 65th anniversary. Plum Street Snoball celebrates its 80th year on March 15. What’s your go-to snoball stand?
