Let te r f ro m t h e Ed i to r
A Note from Andy Busy Bees
The streets are buzzing, and we’ve all got a touch of spring fever. Be it hay fever or seasonal excitement, we’re ready for all that the end of spring and beginning of summer bring. Be sure to check out our quarterly “Registry of Charitable Events: May-July 2022” for information on local nonprofit fundraisers. If you were not able to send us your event in time for the print listing, we are happy to add it online. Please send an email with event details to andy@myneworleans.com or submit via our website myneworleans.com through our online submission form. Our May issue is chock-full of useful information for planning your busy social calendars. In this month’s dining feature Jyl Benson highlights exciting new menu options and locales for lunch around town. “What’s Hot” focuses on charming children’s clothing and accessories. We take time to celebrate mothers on May 8. “How to Host” details tips for throwing a lovely late-spring fete honoring the important mother or mother figure in your life. “Philanthropic Faces” features Natalie Jayroe, president and CEO of Second Harvest Food Bank. Learn more about Second Harvest’s work leading the fight against hunger in South Louisiana by providing food access, advocacy, education and disaster response. Second Harvest offers food and support to an astounding 700-plus community partners and programs across 23 parishes. Our May “Changemaker” is Kristi Trail, executive director of Pontchartrain Conservancy, an organization working diligently to help residents understand the value of stewardship of the coastal areas in South Louisiana. We’re always looking for updates regarding shop openings and local business news. Be sure to send any related information to shoptalk@myneworleans.com and check out our Shop Talk profiles on the website and on Instagram @stcharlesavenuemag. We hope you continue to enjoy one of New Orleans’ finest seasons! Cheers,
8 ST. CHARLES AVENUE MAY 2022
