I hope you’ve caught your breath after the first weekend of Jazz Fest. This issue presents Weekend Two with cubes, previews, and a feature on David Batiste, Sr. painted by Frenchy. It also profiles some of the best night shows.
But May is more than just Jazz Fest. May 5th is Cinco de Mayo, so if you plan on drinking some margaritas, be sure to read Michelle Nicholson’s piece on celebrating the Battle
of Puebla.
Andrew Marin’s profile of mothers in the New Orleans restaurant industry is the perfect salute to mamas for Mother’s Day, while Julie Mitchell’s rundown of the different types of moms will make you laugh and cry.
Finally, celebrate the graduate in your life at exciting restaurants profiled by Marigny Lanaux. And if you love New Orleans, don’t miss graduate Madeline Taliancich’s goodbye letter to the city.
Laissez les bon temps rouler!
