ARCHITECTURAL SCAVENGER HUNT Put on your thinking cap, grab your magnifying glass and let loose your inner Sherlock, because the scavenger hunt for New Orleans’ famous architecture is on. Clue-less about the difference between Creole cottages and double shotguns? Greek Revival and Creole townhouses? Then read on to unlock these mysteries and more.

Greek Revival House CLUES YOU CAN USE: Look for cottages with high and steep front-facing gable roofs, occasionally with wide front porches, brick chimneys and (often) wooden storm shutters.

CLUES YOU CAN USE: The front porch columns are a dead giveaway, as are parapets ©Classical American Architecture (a short wall running the length of the roof) and square wooden details above the windows.

X MARKS THE SPOT: Dauphine Street in the Marigny is a great place near the French Quarter to find creole cottages, as is Marais Street in the Tremé (near the New Orleans African-American Heritage Museum).

X MARKS THE SPOT: Algiers Point has a thriving historic district conveniently located within walking distance of the ferry terminal. Check out the area around Delaronde and Olivier streets.

Creole cottage ©Taylor Bell

creole cottage

creole townhouse CLUES YOU CAN USE: These two- and three-story brick buildings with wrought iron-skirted balconies and hidden courtyards are among New Orleans’ most famous architectural marvels.

Creole townhouse ©Denise Chambers

X MARKS THE SPOT: Creole townhouses are found along Julia Street in the Arts/Warehouse District and throughout the French Quarter. Find the corner of Royal Street and Ursulines Avenue for a great example of this classic local architectural style. To view some of the townhouses’ courtyard gardens, contact The Historic New Orleans Collection (at hnoc.org) about their architectural tours of the Quarter.

Inside New Orleans

raised center-hall cottage CLUES YOU CAN USE: These one-and-a-half storied cottages bear a strong resemblance to old plantation homes, featuring six columns spanning across a front porch that runs the length of the house. They are raised two to eight feet above the ground on brick piers, and the front door is centered at the top of the front steps. X MARKS THE SPOT: Visit 1113 Chartres St., just three blocks away from Jackson Square in the French Quarter as a starting point. The Garden District, Carrollton and Uptown neighborhoods also contain remarkable examples of this Southern architectural style.

Raised center-hall cottage ©Miles/Denise Chambers

double gallery house CLUES YOU CAN USE: Look for two-story homes set back from their property lines, with upstairs balconies and asymmetrical façades.

Shotgun houses ©Preservation Resource Center

Double Shotgun CLUES YOU CAN USE: These familiar wood-framed row houses are divided into two narrow, rectangular apartments that abut the sidewalk. Often, you’ll find shotguns that lack a front yard. X MARKS THE SPOT: The “double” is New Orleans’ most popular architectural style. You can find them throughout the city, particularly the Irish Channel. The Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans, a nonprofit dedicated to restoring old homes — including many shotguns — hosts the Renovators’ Happy Hour on the fourth Thursday from April through October. Visit prcno.org for more information on happy hour tours and a chance to see the inside of a double shotgun.

X MARKS THE SPOT: Esplanade Ridge has the finest examples of these beauties. Starting from the French Quarter, drive or bike up Esplanade Avenue toward City Park.

Double gallery house ©Andrew Alwert

New Orleans Architectural Details CLUES YOU CAN USE: New Orleans is a paradise of old-style architectural features. Seek out the city’s handmade copper gas lamps, wrought-iron secondstory balconies, blue-and-white tiles bearing street names and the secretive brick-walled courtyards that are seen throughout town.

Images ©Miles/ Denise Chambers

X MARKS THE SPOT: The older parts of New Orleans, built before electricity and automobiles were widely available, are full of distinct architectural details. Walled courtyards are found all over the French Quarter. Gas lamps, street tiles and wrought-iron balconies are also prominent in the Quarter, as well as in the Arts/Warehouse District and Garden District.

LIVE MUSIC DAYS A WEEK In New Orleans, you can “do whatcha wanna” any day of the week. Here are just a few choices for New Orleans live music options.

Monday

Dominick Grillo & The Frenchmen Street All-Stars at The Spotted Cat Music Club Take note: the Spotted Cat’s dance floor fills up fast when Dominick Grillo takes the stage. The saxophonist and his friends play songs to get you moving, playing Dixieland and jazz standards, and spiking them with old-school New Orleans funk.

Maple Leaf Bar ©Milan Ilnyckyj

Tuesday

Rebirth Brass Band at the Maple Leaf Bar

This iconic Uptown venue features live music nightly, reserving a standing Tuesday slot for these local legends. A New Orleans institution, Rebirth never fails to bring audiences to their feet with a romping fusion of funk, soul and brass.

Wednesday

Thursday

Jazz Vipers at The Maison

Check out this weekly gig to hear the sounds that have been filling New Orleans’ music halls and jazz venues for over a century. These guys are veterans of the Frenchmen Street scene, playing old ragtime and jazz tunes that would make Louis Armstrong proud.

Naydja CoJoe at The Columns Hotel

Jazz songstress Naydja CoJoe can bring the house to tears with her cover of Etta James’ “At Last,” and minutes later have you on your feet dancing. Hear her sing the classics every Thursday at the historical Columns Hotel’s Victorian Lounge. The Maison ©Marigny Photography

Friday

Where to Hear NOLA Music Styles

Robin Barnes at The Carousel Bar Robin Barnes, known around town as the Songbird of New Orleans, performs old jazz standards and current pop hits every Friday at the Hotel Monteleone’s Carousel Bar.

Saturday Take Your Pick!

It’s Saturday night in New Orleans — you’ll be hard-pressed to find a joint that’s not rocking with live ©Miles/Chris Granger music. From Frenchmen Street to Bourbon Street, musicians are gearing up to play some of our world-famous jazz, zydeco, blues and brass music. Check local listings to find where your favorite artist is playing tonight.

Sunday

Gospel Brunch at House of Blues

Gospel star Kirk Franklin personally selects the songs performed at Gospel Brunch, a Sunday morning concert and brunch buffet that’s guaranteed to please your palate and lift your spirits.

Venues and performers are subject to change. Please call in advance to confirm.

Remember when radio stations were run by local DJs playing songs from collections of rare and beloved vinyl? WWOZ 90.7 FM, New Orleans’ premier jazz station, still operates that way. Tune in for programs like Jazz From the French Market and R&B Oldies with Rare On the Air to hear vintage hits and rarities, and New Orleans Calling, which features custom playlists built around New Orleans themes. Also, listen up for the WWOZ Live Wire music calendar to hear about local concerts. No radio? No problem. Visit wwoz.org and download the station’s smartphone app and podcasts.

TUNE IN

THE INSTRUMENTS: Trumpet, trombone, drums, saxophone and sousaphone comprise brass music; Dixieland adds a little clarinet, banjo and tuba to the mix; ragtime is piano-focused and Gypsy jazz grasps its unique sound from violins and acoustic guitars. THE SOUNDS: Brass bands infuse European-style military music with funky, African influence. Dixieland combines ragtime and brass marches and ragtime delivers jingly piano and springy rhythm, while gypsy jazz speeds things up with a special form of rhythmic guitar strumming called “la pompe.” HEAR IT HERE: Jazz and big band tunes prevail at Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro (snugjazz.com), an intimate two-story venue on Frenchmen Street. Many local performers got their start at The Maple Leaf Bar (mapleleafbar.com) where nightly live music spans blues, funk, R&B, rock, jazz, jam bands and more.

CAJUN & ZYDECO THE INSTRUMENTS: Cajun incorporates fiddles, accordion and triangle (traditional); guitars and keyboard (contemporary); and zydeco showcases the piano, rubboard and drums. THE SOUNDS: Cajun dance music lends itself to waltzes and two-steps and is commonly heard at festivals and dance halls. Zydeco pulls its folksy tune from rural southwest Louisiana, with lyrics still sung in Louisiana Cajun French. HEAR IT HERE: Head to neighborhood juke joint Tipitina’s (tipitinas.com) to catch regular, locally-loved Cajun and zydeco performances alongside a roster of big-name national acts. Mid City Lanes Rock ‘n’ Bowl (rocknbowl.com) combines bowling and some of the best zydeco, blues and Cajun names from around the state.

CHEF WE LOVE:

JUSTIN DEVILLIER JUSTIN DEVILLIER IS THE EXECUTIVE CHEF AND CO-OWNER (WITH WIFE MIA FREIBERGERDEVILLIER) OF LA PETITE GROCERY, AN UPTOWN RESTAURANT THAT SPECIALIZES IN CONTEMPORARY CREOLE FARE. THIS YEAR, HE OPENED BALISE, LA PETITE GROCERY’S DOWNTOWN COUNTERPART.

YOU’RE FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ORIGINALLY. HOW DID YOU END UP IN NEW ORLEANS? I actually have old family roots here, going back to the 1700s. One of my ancestors was in the French Canadian military and later became a New Orleans city councilman. When I was kid, I really got into Creole cooking, and that eventually landed me here. The first book I ever got into was Paul Prudhomme’s Louisiana Kitchen and the first meal I can remember making was butterbeans and rice.

HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE YOUR COOKING STYLE? I’m very influenced by my surroundings and the people I associate with in the kitchen. For instance, I eat a lot of Vietnamese food, since there’s a large Southeast Asian community here. It’s hard for that not to have an impact on my own cooking. If you want a super cultural kind of experience in New Orleans, visit the Saturday morning farmer’s market in the Village de L’Est neighborhood. Show up early — it wraps up around 9 a.m.!

SO MANY CHEFS MOVE TO NEW ORLEANS WANTING TO LEARN ABOUT CAJUN AND CREOLE COOKING. WHAT ADVICE DO YOU GIVE THEM? Go eat. Eat at Commander’s Palace and Galatoire’s and Antoine’s — they laid the foundation for Creole food — and then go to newer places like John Besh’s restaurants [Borgne, Domenica, Lüke, August and others] and Patois to get an idea of what’s going on now.

ANY SIGNATURE DISHES? Blue crab beignets. I’d get threatening emails if I took that off the menu! We also do a turtle Bolognese and a panéed rabbit dish that customers love.

AND WHAT ABOUT YOUR NEW VENTURE THAT OPENED THIS YEAR, BALISE?

THE CREOLE-STYLE COTTAGE WHERE LA PETITE GROCERY’S LOCATED HAS A HISTORY ALL ITS OWN. WHAT’S THE STORY BEHIND IT? The business has been there since 1896. It was a joint venture of two guys named Willig and Mackie, who started up a grocery store here. A neighborhood fire burned down the original building but they rebuilt it in 1908, and it was run as a grocery store and flower shop for the next 90 years. We aim to continue that tradition by carrying the freshest meats and produce.

It’s housed in an 1832 Creole townhouse, and serves a modern Downtown version of New Orleans food. It’s tavern-driven, with dim lighting and lots of wood fixtures — very old-timey. Some of the signature dishes are venison tartare with dill mayonnaise, and grilled sirloin with dauphine potatoes. Comparing the two places, I’ve always thought of La Petite Grocery as a special occasion, romantic restaurant, and Balise as a downtown hangout. It’s edgier.

La Petite Grocery is at 4238 Magazine St. and Balise is at 640 Carondelet St. Visit lapetitegrocery.com and balisenola.com to find out more.

-------------- Culture-------------For a great introduction to the LGBT lifestyle in NOLA take a Twirl with Glenn De Villier, New Orleans historian and writer. This gay history tour from a local perspective, full of humor and Southern graciousness, highlights the sometimes-intangible charms of the “Queen City of the South.” For something less structured visit the newest addition to the local arts scene: the St. Claude Arts District. The galleries here have become one of America’s largest and most cohesive alternative-arts districts thanks to an inspired community and the contemporary art biennial Prospect New Orleans.

New Orleans has long been a Southern oasis to the LGBT community. As one of Travel + Leisure’s Top 5 GayFriendly Cities and OutTraveler’s Favorite Places of 2014, we aim to set a welcoming, inclusive example.

We promise you’ll fall in love one way or another.

FAMILY FUN IN NEW ORLEANS Family fun begins in the Crescent City with kid-friendly adventures that are abundant and diverse, so finding something that everyone will enjoy is easy! Whether you are young or just young at heart, discover family-friendly restaurants, attractions and experiences that the whole crew can enjoy.

EXPLORE Begin your expedition by checking out the four attractions in the French Quarter and Uptown that make up the Audubon Nature Institute. With a zoo, aquarium, IMAX theater and even an insectarium, the institute allows you to get friendly with bugs, exploring ape exhibits, reptile habitats and underwater worlds. Explore the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas’ underwater Great Maya Reef exhibit, and get beak to cheek with some sweet birds at the aquarium’s Parakeet Pointe. Visit the Audubon Zoo to test your agility at the new four-story-high ropes course known as Kamba Kourse, and then cool off in an inner tube while floating down the lazy river attraction known as Gator Run. Join one of City Sightseeing New Orleans’ Hop-on, Hop-off tours for a second-story view of the Big Easy’s most famous neighborhoods. Their open-air double decker buses pick up and drop off visitors every half hour at prime attractions throughout the French Quarter and Garden District. Get the kids outside and onto a swamp tour — one of the best ways to see Louisiana’s wildlife up close. If you don’t get your gator fix while touring the moss-shrouded waterways, head to Insta-Gator Alligator Ranch & Hatchery (home to more than 2,000 alligators) to get an opportunity to hold one. For an adventure of historic proportions, head down the Mississippi on one of New Orleans’ giant paddle wheelers, which cruise from one of America’s busiest ports to sites such as the War of 1812-era Chalmette Battlefield.

CREATE

If music, art and handcrafted treasures are what excite your family, plan a stop by the historic French Market, a treat for the senses and home to a free monthly concert series featuring children's music.

Stroll through the ever-artsy French Quarter, or stop by nearby Dutch Alley, home to the Jazz National Historical Park, where you’ll find live music and programs for kids. Keep the creativity flowing with a visit to Jackson Square, and wander the pedestrian mall to watch artists at work. Take the Canal Street streetcar to City Park, where you’ll find the New Orleans Museum of Art; it’s home to nearly 40,000 art objects. Outside the museum, more art awaits: you’ll find more than 60 outdoor sculptures at the free Besthoff Sculpture Garden, one of the most important sculpture installations in the U.S. It’s the perfect spot for a picnic of po-boys. After that dose of artsy inspiration, let the little ones make their own masterpiece during a paint session at Painting With a Twist. For a behind-thescenes peek at the artistic side of New Orleans’ Mardi Gras celebrations, drop by Mardi Gras World, where your family can learn about the floats that roll during Carnival season. Take a photo in front of floats, with parade props, or wearing traditional carnival costumes.

Get some fresh air with a mule-drawn carriage tour through the French Quarter. Or take a tour with stories, props and stops geared just for kids with French Quartour Kids, whose new teen tour takes kids on a historic New Orleans journey, seen through the eyes of a 19th century teenager.

LEARN

In the heart of the historic Tremé neighborhood, your family will enjoy the New Orleans African American Museum’s neighborhood tour. Tremé is America’s oldest black urban community. Aunt Sally’s Pralines has been satisfying sweet tooths since 1935. Watch pralines as they're being made at Aunt Sally's new Warehouse District location, and pick up a package of the buttery confections on your way out. Still have a hunger for history? Then head over to the Louisiana State Museum's Cabildo, Presbytere and 1850 House, located in the heart of Jackson Square, to learn many of the state’s fascinating, true tales. Round out your learning adventure by driving to one of the many plantations that are open to the public. On your plantation tour, you’ll see and hear about Louisiana history right where it was made. For a taste of New Orleans' nightlife, one of the city’s most beloved cultural landmarks is Preservation Hall. This club is dedicated to preserving the legacy of New Orleans jazz. Catch one of these concerts — it’s the perfect way to end a day of exploring the city.

PLAY

A favorite for fast-paced families is Mid City Lanes Rock 'n' Bowl. See who can roll strikes and who just can’t keep their ball out of the gutter during a friendly game of bowling.

Another place for endless fun is at the Louisiana Children’s Museum. Here, kids can step inside a giant bubble or explore a cargo ship — it's an exciting way for children to learn while they play! No visit to the French Quarter is complete without a stop at the Musee Conti Wax Museum. Walk among wax figures of some of New Orleans’ most historic characters, all decked out in realistic period costumes. Take some New Orleans flavors back to your kitchen with a lesson from one of the local cooking schools, where adults and kids will learn how to stew up some of New Orleans' favorite Creole dishes. For a relaxed ride through New Orleans history, hop aboard one of the city’s fabled streetcars. Easy and affordable, these stop at some of the Big Easy’s kid-friendliest attractions such as the Audubon Zoo and the French Market. Pick up a $3 one-day Jazzy Pass and ride as often as you like.

Adventure in City Park At City Park, the possibilities for outdoor family fun are endless! Here are a few favorites: PHOTOS (from top): Climb Wall ©Louisiana Children’s Museum • Live music at Rock 'n' Bowl ©Rock ‘n’ Bowl • St. Charles Avenue Streetcar GrabVisuals/Charlie a coffee and beignet at Morning Call café, ©Artistic Manz

and get ready to burn some calories. Stop by the City Park Boat House to rent paddleboards, pedal boats, bikes and kayaks, or join up with outfitter Kayak-iti-yat for a history and architecture tour of Bayou St. John. Stroll through the New Orleans Botanical Garden, take a ride on a narrow gauge historical train or go for a spin on the newly reopened Ladybug Roller Coaster at Carousel Gardens (open seasonally). Golfers young and young at heart can take a swing at mini-golf at City Putt, and nature-loving families will especially enjoy the 60-acre Couturie Forest. Nearby you’ll find three playgrounds including Storyland (also open seasonally), whose 25 larger-than-life

fairy tale sculptures are sure to stoke the imaginations of active kids. And even more fun is on the way: City Park recently broke ground on a new four-acre water park called City Splash, expected to open by 2018. And did we mention the events? Concerts, festivals and more are constantly being staged at City Park. One of the most dazzling is Celebration in the Oaks (November 27 to January 3), which gets visitors in the holiday spirit with a display of hundreds of thousands of Christmas lights.

Inside New Orleans With casual atmospheres and children’s menus, many New Orleans restaurants are made for fun-loving families. Mulate’s was expertly designed to be the ultimate kid-friendly restaurant: The owners’ daughters weighed in on foods for the made-from-scratch kids menu. After your meal, get dancing: Mulate’s presents live Cajun music nightly, and the dance floor does fill up.

EAT

Café Du Monde is a must-taste, serving warm beignets (a French donut), chocolate milk and chicory coffee. Take a picture of the family member who gets the most powdered sugar on them. Swing by Deanie’s Seafood in the French Quarter for fried shrimp and crawfish tails, Central Grocery for their tasty (and huge!) muffulettas, Mother’s Restaurant Downtown for their special debris po-boy, or Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. for their Cajun shrimp. Dare the family to try something new like the boudin balls or gator bites (fried alligator andouille sausage) at the The Crazy Lobster in the Central Business District. This spirited eatery offers great views of the Mississippi River with live entertainment nightly, and all day on Saturdays and Sundays.

5 Tips for Families on a Budget 1. COMBINATION PASSES: With the Audubon Experience Package you can visit the Audubon Zoo, Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, Entergy IMAX Theatre and Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium for one low price. It’s good for up to 30 days, so there’s no need to rush.

2. SKIP PARKING FEES: With a multi-day Jazzy Pass from the Regional Transit Authority, you can get around by streetcar or bus.

3. PLAN A PICNIC: Grab one of the city’s famously over-sized sandwiches, like a muffuletta or po-boy. They’re big enough to share.

4. FREE FUN: Explore the city with Free Tours by Foot, which offers walking tours and bike tours on a pay-what-you-want system. Find more free fun in the French Quarter, where dozens of street performers, costumed characters and buskers are ready to entertain.

5. SPECIAL DEALS: Check out the coupons in the back of the guide (or online: neworleanscvb.com/visit/ specials-coupons) to find special offers that will help you save on attractions, activities, dining and more.

Day Trips from New Orleans

WAYS TO DAY-TRIP IT When you plan a trip to New Orleans, it’s easy to set your sights solely on the attractions of the city proper. There are countless gumbos to sample, music venues to visit, historic sites to tour and shops to poke around in. But take our word for it: There are some awesome adventures to be had just a short drive away. Here are some of our favorite ways to go exploring beyond the Big Easy.

Tour the Plantations of River Road South of New Orleans is a 70-mile long stretch of highway known as River Road. There, nestled up against the Mississippi River, you’ll find more than a dozen grand old plantation homes that recall south Louisiana’s history as an agricultural powerhouse. This is old Louisiana architecture at its most scenic.

Oak Alley Plantation

ambers

Lucky for visitors, many plantations are open to the public. Here’s what is unique about each of them: uD estrehan Plantation is the closest plantation to New Orleans and oldest in the lower Mississippi Valley. uL aura Plantation tours take visitors into the lives of the Creoles who lived there, whose stories are based on the diaries of former resident Laura Locoul. uS an Francisco Plantation stands out for its gingerbread house style architectural details and elaborate hand-painted ceilings. Frisco Fest (in October) showcases works by more than 100 artists, plus Cajun music and kids’ activities. uN ottoway Plantation is remarkable for its sheer size. With 64 rooms, it easily claims the distinction of being the South’s largest antebellum mansion. uO ak Alley Plantation welcomed its five millionth visitor in 2014, making it the most-visited plantation home of them all. Its 300-year-old oak trees make for great photo ops.

Houmas House Plantation & Gardens ©Miles/Denise Chambers

uH oumas House Plantation & Gardens is where you’ll find no fewer than four outstanding restaurants and a massive wine cellar housed in converted historic water cisterns. uS t. Joseph Plantation has been owned by the same family since the 1870s, and many of its descendants today lead tours of the property. See how Creoles honored their dearly departed every October by joining the plantation’s Mourning Tour.

Day Trips from New Orleans

From high-speed airboat tours to gentle flatboat excursions, a variety of swamp tours are available. You might see one of our exotic critters such as nutria, bald eagles and wild boars.

At Bayou Barn, located about a half hour drive south of New Orleans, you can get a feel of authentic Cajun culture at a boot-stompin fais do-do, held every Sunday. These weekly get-togethers are Cajun dance parties, where families and friends get together to dance and, as they say down here, "pass a good time." Hear zydeco and Cajun music while eating some of the best food south Louisiana has to offer.

Tasty Trips Near New Orleans Because of the distinct culinary traditions and mouthwatering dishes that come from New Orleans, it’s no surprise that there are plenty of spots to find culinary adventures. Head down to Louisiana’s Cajun country for a tour of McIlhenny Company’s TABASCO pepper sauce factory on Avery Island, or, if you like the idea of catching your dinner, hire one of Louisiana’s many charter fishing boats, whose captains can take you to where the fish are biting, no matter the time of year.

Louisiana’s Northshore, across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans, is also a sure bet for fishing adventures on the inland bayous. It’s also home to some great restaurants.

With an outside dining area surrounded by old Louisiana forests and Bayou Bonfouca, you’re sure to find an abundance of local flavor here.

HALF-DAY GETAWAY

Fuel your need for speed at NOLA Motorsports Park, a recreational racetrack located 20 miles from New Orleans. It’s a hidden gem with a reputation that’s been bolstered by Louisiana’s first-ever Indy Grand Prix, held at the racetrack in April 2015. Go for a spin in a go-kart and watch the speedometer climb up to 50 miles per hour. Or heck, bring your own ride; NOLA Motorsports Park allows visitors to bring their personal cars or motorcycles onto the course on select days. Visit nolamotor.com for more details.

Ruth's Chris Steak House

Insider's Tip

Sometimes called a "French donut," these decadent treats were brought to Louisiana by the Acadians. A beignet is a square piece of dough that, upon being deep fried, forms a slightly doughy yet slightly crispy pillow and is covered with powdered sugar. There are other savory versions, with fillings such as crawfish or shrimp also seen on New Orleans menus.

Mask optional. Fun inevitable.

In New Orleans, it’s Fat Tuesday every day of the week. Perhaps it’s because the city is the birthplace of jazz and the cocktail. There’s something to amuse and delight around every cobblestoned corner, especially the tax-free shopping savings. Visit neworleanscvb.com and start planning your trip today.

Step Aboard Streetcars (no, they’re not trolleys) have been a part of New Orleans’ public transportation since the first half of the 19th century. In fact, you can thank the streetcar for the creation of our most celebrated sandwich, the po-boy. Bennie and Clovis Martin are credited with first serving the sandwiches to striking streetcar motormen and conductors in 1929. In the mid-1900s, buses replaced many of the iconic vehicles, but after several decades our streetcars made a comeback. Now four different lines travel throughout the city, letting you explore for an affordable $1.25 (exact change required).
