#BONO2015

New Orleans BEST OF

W

elcome to Gambit’s Best of New Orleans 2015. (Around the office we just call it BONO.) This year’s BONO had more votes than ever before, and we chose a bike theme as a visual representation of this tour of New Orleans’ most super of all its superlatives.

The choices you made also show a changing city. Consider the category “Best New Retail Store.” Last year, your choices were H&M, Costco, West Elm and Neiman-Marcus Last Call — not one local shop. This year, every winner is Louisiana proud: Grandmother’s Buttons, Parish Ink/Red Arrow, Tubby & Coo’s and Sopo.

In the bars category, we eliminated questions about best smoking and nonsmoking bars, since the New Orleans City Council nixed indoor smoking. And the category “Best Menu for Vegetarians/ Vegans” had a much wider spread of responses this year, reflecting changing tastes and an increasing number of options.

Every year we get questions about methodology, and I’ve tried to answer a few of those:

®

How do you pick the categories?

We start working on Best of New Orleans in May, when we have a few meetings reviewing the issue from the year before, culling some categories and adding new ones. We also consolidated several categories and reduced the number of votes you had to cast to submit a ballot. This year we partnered with a new company that made online voting easier and much more manageable on a smartphone.

How do you count all those ballots?

We couldn’t keep track of tens of thousands of votes without managing editor Kandace Graves, who has kept BONO on track for more than a decade via various platforms.

Do people try to cheat ?

C’mon. Of course, and we have ways to weed them out.

Are the resul ts really real?

Absolutely, and they reflect your tastes, not necessarily those of the staff — sometimes definitely not those of the staff. We defer to the city’s collective wisdom.

Last year, it was the dining categories. This year, it seems to be culture. For instance, none of last year’s three top vote-getters made it into this year’s Best Local Band. (Congratulations to this year’s faves: Soul Rebels, Rebirth Brass Band and Flow Tribe!)

This is your Best of New Orleans. Now argue amongst yourselves.

— Kevin Allman, editor

BEST new restaurant

Shaya (4213 Magazine St., 504-891-4213; www.shayarestaurant.com) Shaya may seem familiar. Who hasn’t pigged out on hummus and baba ghanoush at a neighborhood restaurant? And just as Olive Garden has endless breadsticks, Shaya has endless pita, served hot, just seconds out of the oven. The comparisons stop there, as Chef Alon Shaya (winner of this year’s James Beard Award for Best Chef: South and raves in national publications) takes modern Israeli food to a level never before seen in New Orleans. In May, Gambit food critic Helen Freund wrote, “While the menu has several substantive, larger plates, the wide selection of small plates, shared dips and vegetable dishes steal the show here, while also paying tribute to the Middle Eastern tradition of communal dining.”

#BONO2015 The challenge is not to fill up on the bread and complimentary za’atar before Shaya’s outstanding dishes begin to arrive: several kinds of hummus (curried fried cauliflower and lamb with pine nuts are both out of this world); lutenitsa (roasted pepper puree); tiny carrots served with mint in vinaigrette; short ribs and couscous in a tagine; duck matzo ball soup; and a tabbouleh that will redefine for you what parsley can taste like. Open for only six months, Shaya is packed for both lunch and dinner, though walk-in patio seating sometimes is available. Now if we only could get a Shaya in every neighborhood.

Hoa Hong 9 Roses (1100 Stephens St., Gretna, 504-366-7665; www.ninerosesrestaurant.com) The menu at 9 Roses is the length of a Harry Potter book and includes one page of Americanized-Chinese dishes, but if you’re not ordering the Vietnamese home cooking, you’re missing out. Banh xeo (Vietnamese crepe) is a great starter for the table, as are any of the freshly made summer rolls. Pho is delicious, but the hot-and-sour soups are where 9 Roses really shines, and bo tai chanh (rare beef salad served with translucent lemon slices) is another great group meal.

For shareable entrees, you can’t go wrong with curry-coconut chicken, lemon grass beef, pork chops cooked in a clay pot or a whole steamed fish in ginger broth — and all the grilled meats are delicious. Many families order bo nuong vi, in which a brazier is placed on the table and dishes of raw meats and vegetables are provided (along with baskets of herbs) so each diner can grill his or her choice. Nearly everything is served in portions large enough for leftovers. 9 Roses just opened a smaller French Quarter location with an abbreviated, lighter menu, and it’s already a hit.

BEST kid-friendly restaurant The Backyard (244 W. Harrison Ave., 504-309-8767; www.thebackyardnola.com)

The restaurant has a surprisingly large backyard, with a big climbing and slide structure and shade trees that make things cool on hot days. The backyard also has a dozen or more picnic tables in the back area, plus more tables inside. The front porch includes two long tables where you can watch a big screen TV and still have a clear view to the play yard. Most important, the food is good. The children’s menu includes a beef burger, Angus hot dog and sloppy joe, and the regular menu has sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, salads and specials. There are fountain drinks for the kids and a bar for adults with a nicely curated but small selection of local beers on tap.

BEST pizza restaurant

Pizza Delicious (617 Piety St., 504-676-8482; www.pizzadelicious.com)

“Pizza D” takes the top spot for the first time since the Bywater pizzeria opened in 2012, after a successful run as a popup in a shared catering kitchen nearby. The restaurant’s a comfortably hip neighborhood hotspot, the kind of place you can take a date, your friends or an entire tee-ball team.

New York natives and Tulane University graduates Michael Friedman and Greg Augarten make their homestate-styled pie for a town known for, well, not pizza, and certainly not like this — Pizza D does only a couple daily specials (from speck with braised Brussels sprouts to soppressata with sweet peppers, all on its large, thin-crust pies) along with its everyday cheese, pepperoni and margherita pizzas. Get them by the slice, too, served on big metal trays. There also are garlic knots (served in a mound in tinfoil-covered red plastic baskets), fresh pasta, small plates and plenty of beer and wine.

BEST frozen dessert stop

6945; www.donutsandsliders.com) District: Donuts Sliders Brew makes familiar doughnuts including chocolate-glazed and cream-filled versions, but its countertop display of 10 daily offerings also features unique “fancy” and “extra fancy” options. On a recent Saturday, a pink cloud was labelled Raspberry and Champagne; a hibiscus doughnut was topped with a light burgundy-colored frosting with an orange segment crown, and the fluffernutter oozed peanut butter glaze striped with marshmallow and drizzled with peanuts. Other decadent and savory offerings have included root beer float, Vietnamese iced coffee and red bean versions. There also are ice cream-filled doughnut sandwiches — as well as other baked goods (buttermilk drops, kolaches), creative sliders and waffle fries. Diners can cart their doughnuts and cool brew coffee to the back of the airy space and grab a barstool at the long service bar to watch the bakers roll out dough and mix fillings and toppings for the next wave of concoctions.

Stein’s Market & Deli (2207 Magazine St., 504-527-0771; www.steinsdeli.net) King Dan Stein is the benevolent ruler of New Orleans’ deli domain, feeding the people his sandwiches, meat and beer from his throne on Magazine Street, where he has reigned supreme for many BONO moons. Inside the sandwich palace, one can find the Philadelphian’s true-to-form cheesesteaks, hoagies, pastrami, corned beef and signature specialty sandwiches as well as coolers of interesting beers and shelves of Jewish deli favorites.

Last year, New Orleans glimpsed a piece of the deli czar’s origin story: In a viral video filmed a decade ago, Stein — then a humble single man in an oversized sweater — appeared on a mostly unsuccessful blind dating show. Stein’s viral mastery also extends to social media; the deli’s Instagram often features a sleepy Stein napping in unexpected places. Sandwiches are tough work.

Sucre (622 Conti St., 504-267-7098; Lakeside Shopping Center, 3301 Veterans Memorial

Blvd., Metairie, 504-834-2277; 3025 Magazine St., 504-520-8311; www.shopsucre.com) The website of chef Tariq Hanna’s dessert emporium refers to it as “Sucre Sweet Boutiques and Confection Studio,” and its original Magazine Street location could be mistaken for something other than an ice cream parlor or chocolatier. Gelatos in vibrant colors such as bright red raspberry, cool green pistachio and yellow banana look like they could be splattered on canvases as easily as scooped into cups. Rich-hued chocolates are lined up with uniform precision and glistening pastries are mounted like jewelry under glass. There also are all sorts of other treats, including signature small, puffy-but-rich mousseline-filled macarons in an array of pastel colors. But as enticing as the treats are to the eyes, local sweet tooths voted them sweetest of them all. It’s no wonder Hanna added a location in Metairie and the recently opened Salon by Sucre in the French Quarter, with business partner Joel Dondis.

But for a perfect view of the sun setting over the marina and Lake Pontchartrain, patrons can grab a table on the canopied balcony, just steps from the bar and oyster bar. There also are views of the marina in the breezeway below the restaurant, which offers an ample number of long tables for family or groups to spread out with platters or trays of fried or boiled seafood. There are fans with misting machines above and a space for bands to perform.

BEST place to see comedy

The New Movement (2706 St. Claude Ave.; www.newmovementtheater.com) New Orleans comedy scene has blossomed from a handful of shows and open mics to several packed shows every night of the week — with lots of local comics (and national acts) on the bill. New Orleanians Chris Trew and Tami Nelson founded The New Movement in Austin, Texas, and in 2012, they brought the theater to their hometown. The pair opened The New Movement’s second home in a small, black-bricked spot on Burgundy Street, a base for its unpredictably weird and hilarious brand of improv comedy, several sketch groups and stand-up comics and the annual citywide Hell Yes Fest comedy festival.

In 2014, The New Movement moved into new digs on St. Claude Avenue, where its much larger “comedy conservatory” offers sketch and improv classes and more than a dozen shows every week. The theater also hosts several satellite shows around town, from Comedy Beast at Howlin’ Wolf every Tuesday to marquee acts at One Eyed Jacks and The Joy Theater.

BEST local band Soul Rebels

Dozens of top-tier headliners have looked to one New Orleans band to add its explosive brass to its sound. From Green Day to Slick Rick, Joey Bada$$ to Marilyn Manson, artists can’t seem to get enough of the Soul Rebels — still holding down a standing gig at Le Bon Temps Roule on Magazine Street — and its pop-influenced New Orleans brass. Members of the Young Olympia Brass Band formed Soul Rebels with a decidedly different take on traditional brass, adding funk and hip-hop to its sound with an eight-piece powerhouse lineup. The Rebels’ latest album is Power=Power, inspired by hip-hop mixtapes and featuring covers of hits

by Kanye West, Jay Z and, as featured on just about every Mardi Gras parade route, Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” with bounce empress Big Freedia.

The band — on tour throughout 2015 — is home for most of the fall with several shows booked at Tipitina’s, d.b.a., the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience and, of course, Le Bon Temps, the dive they still call home.

BEST place to get a bloody mary

Atchafalaya (901 Louisiana Ave., 504-891-9626; www.atchafalayarestaurant.com) Menus of fancy and expertly crafted cocktails have sprung up at restaurants across the city, but the bloody marys at Atchafalaya are for the DIY crowd. The restaurant serves chef Chris Lynch’s creative Creole cooking in a casual setting.

During brunch, served Thursday through Monday, patrons can pick a vodka and take their glasses to the bloody mary bar to mix their own drinks. The spread looks more like a buffet than a bar. There are three base juice options: a house tomato juice mix, a spicy version of the tomato base and a green and spicy tomatillo and jalapeno blend. If that’s not hot enough, there are roughly 20 hot sauces on the bar. Guests also can choose from 10 to 15 house-pickled items (beans, okra, etc.), olives, celery, bacon and more for relish and taste.

WDSU’s anchor guy (left) is a New Orleans native with excellent hair, a deep voice and the misfortune of having the exact same name as a certain Harley Davidson-riding presidential candidate from Wisconsin. Moreover, the two have nearly identical Twitter handles (@ScottWalker and @ScottWalker6), adding to the confusion and occasionally subjecting our Scott Walker to invective aimed at the other Scott Walker. (#wrongscottwalker has become a hashtag on Twitter, and Walker is famous for interacting with viewers on social media.)

Walker, a 20-year veteran of TV news, joined WDSU in 2009 after news jobs throughout the Gulf South — including a stint at WPMI-TV in Mobile, Alabama, where he inadvertently became the star of one of the biggest viral videos of all time: the “Mobile leprechaun,” where a group of residents played up seeing a leprechaun in a tree. It’s been viewed more than 25 million times on YouTube.

“I run into people all the time who say ‘Hey, you’re the leprechaun guy’ and ‘That was you in that video!’,” he told Gambit in 2013. “I always say, it could be worse. I could be saying something bad that was captured on YouTube, like an F-bomb.”

Wedding Belles (3632 Magazine St., 504-891-1005; www.weddingbellesstationer.com) The modern building that houses this bridal boutique, which opened in 2004, foretells the chic and sophisticated merchandise within. The boutique offers a large and meticulously curated selection of wedding gowns, focusing on styles and dresses not found in other local boutiques. The variety includes a range of styles from traditional to Hollywood to modern.

The service is highly personalized and focused on making sure the bride finds dresses she loves for her and her bridesmaids. Don’t expect Say Yes To the Dress meltdown dramas here; the shop limits the number of friends and family who can attend selection and fitting appointments. They’ll even bug bridesmaids to come in for their fittings so brides don’t have to. The staff also helps with accessories for the wedding party, and The Stationer is on site with paper goods.

BEST hotel

Windsor Court Hotel

(300 Gravier St., 504-523-6000; www.windsorcourthotel.com) There are plenty of reasons for a local to hang out at the Windsor Court Hotel. You could be visiting an out-of-town friend in one of its 316 guest rooms, which recently underwent a $22 million restoration. Perhaps that friend has an extra key that allows you access to the rooftop saltwater pool with sweeping skyline views. Or maybe you want a staycation in a hotel with a CBD address far enough from Bourbon Street to actually feel relaxing. Then there are

those who just want to play at being British royalty by taking traditional afternoon tea at Le Salon among sculptures of kings and queens on horseback.

This month, Windsor Court gives an added incentive to visit its swanky Polo Club Lounge: 50 percent of proceeds from its new Elysian Fields Forever cocktail (gin, lime juice, muddled blueberries and strawberries) benefit the St. Bernard Project.

We’ll drink to that.

Barre3 (The Paramount, 611 O’Keefe Ave., 504-371-5297; 5235 Magazine St., 504-301-3082; www.barre3.com) There is good reason 2015 was hailed as “the year of the barre,” with the workout growing in popularity in New Orleans. Barre3 is where Gambit readers like to go for classes that combine ballet barre exercises with yoga and Pilates moves. (Second place winner Pure Barre uses similar routines). The regimen may sound trendy, but it provides a surprisingly intense workout. Barre3 opened its second location in the CBD’s South Market District development in May. 2.

Wren’s Collision Center (4321 Tchoupitoulas St., 504-895-2614; www.facebook.com/wrensfriends) You’re in a wreck — where are you taking your car? Finding a trustworthy auto shop is never an easy task, least of all when the need is unexpected and urgent. Gambit readers steer toward Wren’s Collision Center on Tchoupitoulas Street. Just a few yards away from Tipitina’s, the shop offers body work, collision repair and custom paint jobs out of a distinctive baby-blue building. Wren’s also offers detailed repair estimates, and it’s open Saturdays — because you’re never more likely to be in a fender-bender than precisely when you don’t have time for it.

BEST locally owned T-shirt store

Dirty Coast (2121 Chartres St., 504-324-6459; 5631 Magazine St., 504-324-3745; www.dirtycoast.com) Since it opened in 2004, Dirty Coast has become a bona fide New Orleans pride movement cloaked in the guise of a T-shirt shop. “Be a New Orleanian wherever you are” is perhaps its most familiar slogan, but cleverly worded and designed shirts printed with phrases like “Save the Sazerac,” “Jazz is democracy” and “Let’s eat lunch and talk about dinner” convey our city’s quirks without a trace of NOLA-ier-than-thou attitude.

The locally owned, designed and produced clothing brand recently launched a new store in the Marigny. “That store will host different pop-up events, and food truck nights,” says Dirty Coast manager Chris Marroy. “It also is home to our ‘local’s corner’— highlighting unique brands and gifts born in the New Orleans area.”

Diane Manganello (Simply Fit, 4825 Prytania St., 504-269-9990; www.simplyfitgym.com) Personal trainer Diane Manganello has tried-and-true advice for clients at the private personal training studio SimplyFit: “Find something you can keep up with the rest of your life. Not something you’ll do in the beginning for two months and drop out. And: eat everything in moderation.” Naturally, she encourages everyone to consider hiring a trainer. “Even people who know what they are doing, it adds motivation,” she says. “If [you] cannot hire a trainer, then take a group fitness class.” On her own time, Manganello loves skiing and snowboarding — which, living in Louisiana, means she also enjoys travel.

Gambit readers say paws down, Canine Connection offers special attention for your fourlegged family members. The business provides day care with climate-controlled play areas and outdoor playgrounds with misters, canine play equipment and a doggie pool (we’re not talking about a plastic baby pool). Pets can be boarded in suites (some with an outdoor patio and webcam), a cage-free area, kitty condo or in a crate. Boarded pets have access to the day-care facilities. While they’re there, you can have them bathed and groomed, and pick up toys and treats at the on-site store, Canine Culture.

Canine Connection sponsors fundraising events including Barktoberfest, Dog Day Afternoon, Howling Success and Toasts & Tails benefiting local animal welfare groups. It also operates the NO Fleas Market, a resale store that donates a portion of its proceeds to local animal rescue groups and shelters.

Martin Wine Cellar does. Opened in 1946 in one half of a double shotgun, the family-owned booze emporium overtook the whole building in the 1950s and now includes locations in New Orleans, Metairie, Mandeville and Baton Rouge.

You’ll find beer, spirits, a large, well-stocked deli — and of course, wine. Hundreds of bottles cost less than $12. “If you’re looking to try a few things before you buy the right bottle, Martin [Wine Cellar] has free wine tastings every Friday from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.,” says marketing manager Sarah Lisotta.

As if that wasn’t enough reason to drink, Martin Wine Cellar offers 20 percent off purchases of 12 or more select bottles: the perfect excuse to throw a party (or watch one on Netflix, vino in hand).

Bloomin’ Deals (4645 Freret St., 504-891-1289; www.jlno.org) As its name suggests, Bloomin’ Deals offers a premier thrifting experience: an expansive new parking lot, four dressing rooms and frequent special events featuring local designers and stylists set it apart from its peers. A permanent fundraiser for the Junior League New Orleans (JLNO), Bloomin’ Deals sells primarily women’s clothing and professional wear, but customers also will find men’s suits, school uniforms, housewares and sporting goods.

Bloomin’ Deals is a great place to snag a wedding gown, offering a bridal salon of both gently used and brand-new dresses from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays. “Every purchase helps others,” the website says, and that’s no exaggeration.

Since 2007, JLNO has awarded more than $274,000 in grants to local organizations. No wonder the group’s thrift store is tops in your book.

Vapors Inn carries major vaping hardware brands including Aspire, Innokin, Joyetech and Kangertech.

Kibbe says knock-off vaporizers might be half the price, but brand-name units are more durable. Vapors Inn sells replacement parts for doit-yourselfers who repair their own vaporizers. Matt Gauthier, who Kibbe calls a “fixeverything guy,” is available to repair units, particularly the box mods. Box mods are bulkier than the slender, more commonly recognizable e-cigarette, but they also have a longer-lasting battery, which is one reason experienced customers often prefer them.

Kibbe says vaping gained traction on the Internet, where forums are devoted to everything from vaping flavors to legislation affecting how and where people can vape. Stores like Vapors Inn are relatively new. The Metairie location is about two years old and the French Quarter location opened in 2014. Some customers continue to use e-cigarettes even after reducing their nicotine levels because they enjoy the social aspect and the ritual as well as the taste.

“A lot of smoking is psychology,” Kibbe says, puffing on a box mod unit.

His nicotine level is very low, but he continues to enjoy the experience of vaping. “This feels right,” he says.

apors Inn (813 Toulouse St., 504-403-4445; 4439 Veterans Memorial Blvd., Metairie, 504-2650525; www.facebook.com/vaporsinnnola) sells e-cigarettes and specialty flavors of e-liquid made on location. Mostly former tobacco smokers, the employees serve “vaping” customers who range from novices purchasing starter kits to enthusiasts who enjoy the social aspects of vapor cloud competitions and tinkering with their e-cigarette units.

While co-owner Richard Kibbe stresses that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration doesn’t allow e-cigarettes to be promoted for smoking cessation (like nicotine gum or patches), he’s seen lots of people transition from cigarette smoking to vaping, including himself.

As a former pack-a-day smoker who had switched to cigars, Kibbe says vaping is cheaper and less physically harmful than smoking tobacco.

The staff works with new customers to gauge what nicotine level they should try first, based on their current smoking habits. Most customers lower the nicotine levels gradually until they quit both traditional smoking and vaping, he says.

Beginners usually start with flavors that mimic the taste of tobacco. “[Customers branch out once] they separate the idea that it’s supposed to taste like cigarettes,” Kibbe says. Vapors Inn offers 150 flavors, which are mixed and steeped locally. Top-selling flavors include vanilla custard, Kool-Aid, blue raspberry Icee and apricot bourbon. All flavors can be customized, and employees mix them to order in the shop lounge, which looks and feels like a comfortable bar with a bigscreen TV and couches.

MUSIC LISTINGS PREVIEW

P H O T O BY M U F F I N B ER N S T EI N

Solange

Escaping a sibling shadow as immense Solange AUG as Beyonce Knowles’ is like asking the 9 p.m. Saturday moon to outshine the sun. Solange House of Blues, has succeeded by not trying, instead carving out her own specific corner of 225 Decatur St. the universe: a revolving celestial body (504) 310-4999 with an explosive pedigree, sure, but www.houseofblues.com also a healthy dark side. In 2014, that corner intersected blessedly with ours, and she became one of the most seamless transplants in the patchwork quilt of recent Crescent City celebrity adoptees. (Riding a beach cruiser to tie the knot at the Marigny Opera House and catching Mahogany at Indywood beforehand certainly qualifies as “local,” even if a Bey-and-Jay Z guest list may not.) The same way her big sister embodies the bright lights of her big-city, bicoastal empires, Solange and the new New Orleans are kind of perfect together, which makes her an ideal headliner for this Make It Right fundraiser commemorating the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina’s landfall. “I was a little different,” she understates on “I Decided,” the mission statement off her do-whatcha-wanna sophomore LP, Sol-Angel and the Hadley Street Dreams. Here, it’s practically a way of life. Christian Scott and DJ Soul Sister open. Tickets $100 (includes fees). — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

There aren’t a lot of stories in any medium about Germany just after the Holocaust, and even fewer focusing on those who survived the horrors of Nazi concentration camps. It’s not hard to imagine why these topics might be difficult to address in a narrative film — especially for a filmmaker from Germany, where recent social history is always up for analysis and debate.

Award-winning writer/director Christian Petzold hails from Hilden, Germany and makes films that explore issues of mortality in the context of German society and culture. With Phoenix, Petzold treads where few of his countrymen are willing to go. The film tells the small-scale story of a Jewish woman from Berlin who barely survives Auschwitz and attempts to return to normal life. Remarkably, it evolves into a low-key psychological thriller inspired by Alfred Hitchcock and American film noir but never loses its focus on the crushing effects of dehumanization perpetrated in the camps.

When we meet Nelly (Nina Hoss), the war has just ended but her face is covered in bandages from a gunshot wound requiring reconstructive surgery. “A new face is an advantage” given circumstances, says Nelly’s plastic surgeon. But Nelly only wants to be herself inside and out, though neither seems possible. Her friend Lene (Nina Kunzendorf) wants Nelly to emigrate to Palestine, but Nelly longs for reconciliation with her long-lost husband Johnny (Ronald Zehrfeld) and searches for him — though she knows he may have betrayed her to the authorities.

What follows is an unlikely yet plausible chain of events that draws directly from Hitchcock’s classic Vertigo and offers some twists of its own. It runs on duplicity, shifting identities and escalating tension, even if most of the action occurs inside the minds of the film’s two central characters. (Don’t watch the trailer unless you want to learn things best revealed slowly by the film.) The pace is deliberate and builds to the most satisfying final film scene in ages.

Hoss is a talented actress who has become Petzold’s on-screen muse, appearing in six of his films over the last 13 years. Just about every scene in Phoenix hinges on Nelly’s ever-shifting emotional state, easily discerned on her reconstructed face even when she scarcely utters a word. It’s a searing performance, and one that matches the stark feel and unsentimental mood of Petzold’s ultimately devastating film.

The director’s use of light and shadow and the moral ambiguity of his characters recall film noir of the 1940s, updated with muted color (as opposed to black and white) and CinemaScope — though widescreen images mostly are used to show the great distances between people living in a shattered world.

The film’s kinship with film noir resonates on an additional level, as that genre was largely developed in Hollywood by German filmmakers who fled their homeland when Hitler rose to power. With Phoenix, Petzold neatly closes the circle, effectively bringing German influences home to shed light on the country’s painful and still-contentious past. — KEN KORMAN

Lightfall/For Display Only and Modern Swamp

THRU SEPT

Lightfall/For Display Only: photography by Maria Levitsky The Front, 4100 St. Claude Ave. (504) 383-4075 www.nolafront.org

Most modern art galleries are tidy, well-lighted spaces. Sometimes referred to as “white cubes,” they show art in orderly arrangements that contrast with the messy processes in the studios where art is made. But Modern Swamp: ceramic THRU in the experimental galleries on sculpture, paintings and phoSEPT St. Claude Avenue, where artists tography by Susan Bowers often hang their own shows, the Barrister’s Gallery, 2331 St. lines between studio and gallery Claude Ave. are sometimes blurred.

At The Front, Maria Levitsky’s (504) 710-4506 large black-and-white prints www.barristersgallery.com of architectural subjects are pristinely presented at the outset, but the next room can be disconcerting because similar subject matter appears in strategically cluttered arrangements that evoke the contents of an obsessive photographer’s attic, or maybe afterimages stashed in the back of the brain. Most compositions are boldly abstract, sometimes featuring montages that highlight the underlying geometry of urban environments in ironic ways, but some are presented like oversized snapshots with serrated edges, or interspersed with boxes of old camera parts and other ephemera that highlight the nature of photographs as ongoing processes of perception rather than static or precious objects.

Susan Bowers’ Modern Swamp expo at Barrister’s Gallery lives up to its name. A kind of melange of clay sculpture, paintings and photographs, the show suggests assortments of colored clay and pigments that took on a life of their own in the swampy backwaters of the subconscious. Some gothic, Anti-Oedipus Heads oozing weird-colored glazes from their eyes and accompanying plates of food rendered in clay are especially spooky — as is Marie Antoinette and her Executioner (pictured), in which two severed heads appear in loopy, carnivalesque colors surrounded by hallucinatory ceramic slices of cake. The heads recall Belgian artist James Ensor’s proto-expressionist mask paintings while the pastry dishes evoke Claes Oldenburg’s oozy-woozy food sculptures, but the results are pure Bowers, an ultra-low-key artist whose quietly intense labors over the years have been consistently startling and worthy of greater recognition. — D.

WHO’S WHO IN REAL ESTATE

Sold!

8 tips for making your house easier to sell

BY ANDRE W STR AT TON

S

elling a house can be a burden, especially one that might be seen as a hard sell.

Maybe the neighborhood isn’t just right or maybe the house is showing its age. A professional, experienced real estate agent, however, can overcome even the most insurmountable and negative problems.

Here are a few real estate agents’ suggestions for selling your home as quickly as possible.

These are easy on the wallet, require minimal work, and don’t require hasty remodeling jobs.

Make sure the interior is sparkling clean.

Shining wood floors, clean countertops and toilets and freshly vacuumed rugs show that your house has been cared for. It’s one of the easiest ways to make sure your home looks its best.

Hiring professional cleaners may be necessary for tough jobs like cleaning grout or carpets, especially if your home is large. A shining interior is one of the most important details when selling a home, and should not be skipped.

Get rid of clutter. When you are staging your home, clutter has to be put away. It’s not easy, and it may even require putting some belongings in storage while your house is being shown. It will be well worth the trouble and expense. Plan to purge anything unnecessary or unsightly, even inside pantries and closets.

Try to rearrange or redo furniture and room accents that are too reflective of your own style. In other words, if you have eclectic or even eccentric tastes, some items may need to go into storage. Try to keep things very traditional in order to appeal to the most people.

You can’t anticipate the style of each potential buyer, but if you make the decor less outland-

ish and more conservative while your home is showing, buyers can more easily picture their own belongings in the house.

Keep things clean, but make it look livable and inviting. While it is true that clutter should be cleared and your house should sparkle, be sure to keep a few things that will make your home charming. Fill vases with fresh flowers, spruce up kitchen counters with fresh produce, and add personality to coffee tables with a couple of magazines and candy.

Look at your floors and make sure they are in good shape. Give all floors a thorough cleaning, including carpets, rugs and linoleum. With hardwoods, they should be refinished if they are in bad condition. If your budget won’t allow for redoing the floors, use area rugs to beautify them and draw visitors’ eyes away from the most unsightly areas.

Arrange furniture in a symmetrical way, away from the walls. Create an inviting conversation area where people can sit and talk.

Make sure the master bedroom is as gender neutral as possible. Be sure to get rid of personal items and clutter. Instead of having a “him” or “her” look on bedside tables or vanities, set out a simple vase of fresh flowers or a framed picture.

Working with your real estate agent on these steps can ensure that your house sells quickly and appeals to as many buyers as possible.

TOP: Plant colorful flowers and tidy up the front porch to make your house appealing to prospective buyers.

BOTTOM: Make sure the floors are clean, and refinish damaged areas if possible.

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > AUGUST 25 > 2015

Give your home curb appeal. This may seem trite, but there’s a very good reason you hear it repeatedly. Potential buyers thinking of touring your house will drive by first and decide if it is even worth a peek on the inside. Ensure that your home looks great from the street by pressure-washing walkways (and the house if needed), planting seasonal, blooming flowers or greenery and mowing the lawn. Make sure the porch looks warm and inviting, with comfortable seating and touchups on the paint if necessary.

This spectacular Thomas Sully Mansion, built in 1880 for Joseph Walker, was meticulously restored in 2002.

Truly one of the Avenue’s finest examples of Queen Ann Italianate homes! The original details, beautiful inlaid pecan floors and spectacular gourmet kitchen make it an incredible home for entertaining and raising a family. The 3rd floor could be used as an apartment or a mother-in-law suite. Spacious carriage house, enough for overflow guests and the 4 car garage really comes in handy during Carnival!
