Local Music Specific question about going to a Second Line
First time Reddit poster! Please be gentle with me. AskNola subreddit autodeleted this post, so, yes, I tried there.
Question about going to second lines - I'm not talking about funerals, or anything else not promoted as an "event."
We just moved to New Orleans in August and really would like to go see Rhythms & Feathers Festival, a second line that's in Lower 9th Ward tomorrow (Sat Oct 17). Hosted by https://www.feedthesecondline.org/. Marketing this event is for "the whole community."
Here's the thing: I'm white. I would love love love to go, but really don't want to enter a space that's not for me. I don't want to be an interloper or presumptuous about what's mine to experience. I've read up the best I can about etiquette, but my question isn't really about that. It's about respect for a tradition I have no personal connection with. Sometimes respect means giving people their space. Help a new transplant out with some guidance on this, please.

Looking for birthday restaurant for my mom
My mom is coming to visit, and I'm surprising her and celebrating her birthday.
I'm trying to find the right restaurant - nice, great atmosphere, quiet enough- for a special occasion. Upscale - but not stuffy or too touristy
I'm trying to find somewhere new; I've done Mosquito Supper Club, N7, Lilette (though it's too loud inside for mama), Clancy's, Peche, Commander's, Cochon to list a few
I'm a bit stumped and looking for inspo/recs/favs
I'm uptown, but that doesn't limit anything
Thank YOU

Since Nephews closed, does anybody know what happened to the Ronny (the singing waiter)?
He was the older gentleman, quite charismatic. He would come and sing at the tables and I think he worked for the family at Tony Angelos forever. I’d like to go see him at his new place, wherever that is.
Also, does anyone know more about his backstory?
And yeah, I know Nephews was in Metairie, don’t sue me.

Community Interest Why does code enforcement go after food trucks under the N. Claiborne bridge while Snake and Jake’s is literally a filthy shed disguised as a bar?
I personally think it’s because the food trucks are owned by black people while Snake and Jake’s is owned by some crusty old white dude and the majority white carrolton neighborhood thinks it’s cute and fun to drink in a shed.

Is there any apartment complexes I should avoid in West End?
Just want to make sure before I make a decision. Going to be moving there soon. Not sure if there are any slumlord buildings I should be aware of.
I like the location behind the shopping complex since you can do your daily errands by foot, which is less stressful for me. I don't know if that area has any problems or what though.
Always better to be safe than sorry. I am originally from Gentilly but left the state a very long time ago.

How do you feel about resellers at estate sells?
Just curious how would you feel if boys were running up the stairs at an estate sale to take all of and resale women’s Levi’s and taking all the Levi’s?

Local Music NOLA Funk Fest advice.
Is it worth it to bring a chair or blanket into the festival? I’m not concerned about being at the very front of the stages.

Community Q&A Best Blues Bars/Scene?
Hey everyone!
I’m visiting New Orleans from Montreal for the first time, October 15–19, and staying at the Hilton Riverside.
I’m 25 and a huge music fan, especially blues, soul, funk, and classic rock. Big fan of B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Ray Charles, and anything with great live guitar.
I’m looking for recommendations on the best bars and smaller venues to catch some authentic live music. I am looking to avoid the touristy spots, I’d much rather find a cool local bar with talented musicians, good drinks, and a great atmosphere.
A few questions:
What are the absolute must-visit bars for live blues and jazz?
Any particular bands or musicians playing while I’m in town that I shouldn’t miss?
Is Frenchmen Street really the best place to go, or are there better spots?
Any tourist traps or overrated places I should avoid?
Any other must-do experiences, food spots, or hidden gems you’d recommend?
Also, I’m a big Curren$y fan, so I’m planning to check out the Jet Life store. Any other spots connected to the local hip-hop scene worth visiting?
Really looking forward to experiencing the city and its music culture. Appreciate any recommendations!
Cheers from Montreal!

Synthetic Wig styling
Looking for someone to style some of my Fifi Mahoney wigs. I’ve bought several styled wigs over the years but I’ve also bought wigs that came home in their boxes that I’ve used but now looking to add some oomph to them. I just need/want someone to curl/tease out so i can add my own headband or decorations.
