Coronavirus
surges in Louisiana:
modified Phase 2 begins
|
Gov. John Bel Edwards Moved Louisiana back into a modified version of Phase 2, ordering many bars to close and most businesses back to 50% occupancy, likely through the end of the year.
Under the new rules, gatherings will be limited to 75 indoors and 150 outdoors, or 25% occupancy at event spaces. Restaurants, retailers and other businesses will move from 75% to 50% occupancy. Bars in parishes with over 5% test positivity must close to indoor consumption unless they have a restaurant conditional permit, in which case they can operate at 50%.

You’ll Feel The Love When You Dine At Liz’s Where Ya At Diner Near New Orleans |
Diner food is always a good idea. There’s something nostalgic and comforting about sitting at your local neighborhood diner, catching up with friends, and sharing a meal together. Luckily, there’s one little diner on the Northshore that’s the perfect spot to park it for a little while and indulge in an incredible meal with your loved ones, and that’s Liz’s Where Y’at Diner. Let’s check it out.
When you want a homestyle meal, you turn to Liz's Where Y'at Diner.
Tucked away in historic Old Mandeville, this vibrant diner has been a neighborhood favorite for locals looking for a great meal outside of their own kitchens.
Liz’s isn’t your traditional diner.
This funky little eatery trades your typical 50’s-themed decor for a funky atmosphere with a pop of color. If the psychedelic 70’s met the bold artistic style of New Orleans, you’d have Liz’s Where Y’at Diner.
Breakfast is one of the most popular times to dine at Liz’s.
And it’s worth waking up early for.
Served seven days a week, their breakfast menu is full of all your favorite scramblers, Benedicts, waffles, and breakfast sandwiches.
The debris grits in particular are a fan favorite. So good you’ll be tempted to lick the bowl!
More than just breakfast, Liz’s also serves lunch and dinner.
Huge portions of New Orleans-style cuisine that will instantly put a smile on your face.
No matter what you’re craving, you’ll find it on the menu at Liz’s.
Their extensive menu covers everything from crab cake appetizers to tacos and big, juicy burgers.
Their back porch is a fantastic spot to meet up with friends for a drink or two.
You can also get some yummy sliders to share along with refreshing daiquiris, margaritas, beers, and wines.
Before you leave, be sure to take a look at the dessert menu.
Those with a sweet tooth will be on cloud nine indulging in one of their specialty desserts. Their white chocolate bread pudding, pictured above, might just be one of the best in the state!

the first time in 41 years, New Orleans will not have Mardi Gras parades
The last time New Orleans didn't have Mardi Gras parades was during the police strike in 1979.

Other ideas, like masks and gloves for riders, a limit on bands and floats, and other safety measures are also planned for discussion
The Krewe of Endymion today announced all of its 2021 Mardi Gras events are canceled.

Neighborhood Roll Call! Please add your neighborhood if you don't see it listed. I am including an expat option if you are participating from outside of the New Orleans area. This will help us organize ways for folks to participate no matter where you are. Recruit your neighbors!
UPDATE: We have doubled since morning! Bumping this post if you are interested in Captaining a subKrewe for your neighborhood if you don't yet see it spoken for. Please see the list below.
Good morning, Krewe! I cannot believe that we already have over 1000 folks interested in Krewe of House Floats. If you have not already responded to the roll call poll, please go do that so we can get a good idea of what kind of participation we have. You can participate as little or as much as you want but at this moment I need volunteers to help organize neighborhood events. If you want to be a neighborhood Captain/wrangler holler and I will update this post as we get volunteers. If I don't list your area here but you want to wrangle up your neighbors, we will grow as needed! If you don't have a critical mass of neighbors don't worry because you will get to showcase your house float no matter where you are. <3 There will be more than one way to participate but the easiest is to decorate your house and tag yourself as #KreweOfHouseFloats.

Krewe of House Floats
Megan Boudreaux loves Carnival. Usually, she dresses up like Princess Leia to dance in the Chewbacchus science fiction foot parade. Iris and Tucks are her favorite float parades and she tries never to miss them. When Mardi Gras morning rolls around, she and her husband put on costumes, plop their young son in a wagon and head off to the French Quarter to join the crowds. But even before the city announced earlier this week that there would be no parades next year, Boudreaux knew the intensifying coronavirus contagion was going change her Carnival plans.
Boudreaux certainly understood the need to play it safe, but she was frustrated too. She said she was mostly joking when she first declared that she was going to turn her house into a float this year, wave at the neighbors and maybe toss throws from the porch. But immediately it dawned on her that it wasn’t such a bad idea. After all, she was going to have to fill the Carnival vacuum somehow, and she suspected that others would be interested in decorating their houses for the season too. She was right. In less than 24 hours, her Krewe of House Floats Facebook page attracted more than 500 members who are considering joining Boudreaux in what could become a city-wide activity.

WWOZ will still be celebrating, as always, on our airwaves, though. Hear those classic Mardi Gras songs and sounds from Twelfth Night through Mardi Gras Day (Feb. 16, 2021) at 90.7 FM or wwoz.org. 💜💚💛" |

Hey Neighbors! I know we are all bummed about the prospect of 2021 with no Mardi Gras parades, but fear not! We are coming up with new and creative ideas to celebrate the season and spread our glitter and beads in a safe way!
The Krewe of Houses (est. 2020) was formed for just this purpose! While the details are still being developed, the plan is to fill the city with houses decorated as fabulous Mardi Gras floats. Sound like fun? Come join Autumn Town and I, the Co-Captains for the Irish Channel, by joining the group below!
Welcome to the Irish Channel sub-krewe of the Krewe of House Floats-we are so glad to have you! Lindsay Grissom and I are your admins. We know no Mardi Gras parades is just the worst, but we’re hoping we can still make it just the best. Each neighborhood is going to have its own theme-TBD so feel free to share ideas! More info will be coming shortly, but please join us in keeping the Mardi Gras spirit alive in the Channel!

NATIONAL PARFAIT DAY
National Parfait Day kicks off breakfast, lunch, snack, or dessert just right on November 25th! This versatile dish serves up sweet or healthy in layers of goodness.
Usually served in a specially styled glass, a parfait presents ingredients in appealing layers. Fruit, yogurt, or ice cream provide the basis for transitions between nuts, chocolate, or even whipped cream.
A French word that literally means “perfect” was originally used to describe a kind of frozen dessert beginning in 1894.
In the United States, most restaurants and ice cream shops serve parfaits in the traditional French style. They use ingredients such as parfait cream, ice cream, gelato, or pudding and layer them in a tall clear glass. To finish the parfait, a dollop of whipped cream is added or even fresh fruit or a drizzle of flavored liqueur.
The Northern United States expanded on the parfait and began to use yogurt layered with nuts or granola or fresh fruits. Some of the fruits include but are not limited to strawberries, blueberries, bananas, or peaches. The idea spread quickly across all parts of the country, and the yogurt parfait gained popularity as a breakfast item.

HISTORY OF THE JUKEBOX
1889: The first coin-operated player was invented in San Francisco by Louis Glass and his partner William S. Arnold.
1905: The “Automatic Entertainer” was introduced by John Gabel and included 24 song selections.
The 1930s were considered the start of “The Golden Era” for jukeboxes as manufacturers including Rudolph Wurlitzer Co., The J. P. Seeburg Corp., The Rock-Ola Manufacturing Corp. and Automatic Musical Instrument Co., competed to produce them for diners, saloons and other entertainment locations.
1946 ushered in “The Silver Age” for jukeboxes as market demand for the newest and greatest technology soared. Fashionable and sleek, jukeboxes weren’t just music players, they were centerpieces often flamboyant with color and chrome. Neon and sci-fi became a tremendous influence on style as well.
Modern Era
The 1960s was the start of a new modern age for jukeboxes. Designs of coin-operated models went through radical changes, not only because of the availability of new materials, such as plastic but also because of the need to accommodate customer demand for more song selection.
In 1989, compact-disc mechanisms replaced the older record style players as newer technology became affordable and rapidly implemented among the general population. Jukeboxes started to become more of a novelty than a necessity.
In 1998, TouchTunes introduced the next major innovation for the industry with the launch of the first digital networked music jukebox. For the first time, customers could search and browse from a library with 750 digital songs.
In 2010, TouchTunes released the first-ever social jukebox mobile app on iOS and Android. The app allows users to find nearby jukebox locations, create playlists, and queue up songs on the jukebox directly from their phone.
In 2011, TouchTunes once again revolutionized in-venue entertainment with the launch of Virtuo, a multi-application platform designed to appeal a tech-savvy audience. Users could choose from hundreds of thousands of songs available.
In 2014, TouchTunes introduced the next wave of innovation with Playdium, a smarter jukebox that dynamically updates the user experience to showcase the music most relevant to each location.
In 2016, TouchTunes revamped the mobile app experience to allow music fans to be the DJ like never before. The advanced app offers an intuitive music-first design and improved usability to better control the jukebox.

Celebration in the Oaks to be a drive-through attraction in 2020 |
Celebration in the Oaks, City Park's annual holiday attraction featuring holiday light displays and more than a million lights hanging from the park's oak trees, will run from Nov. 26 through Jan. 3, 2021. To adapt to coronavirus, the park has made several changes, including that it will be a driving instead of walking experience.
Celebration in the Oaks used to be viewable by car, but the park changed it to pedestrian-only in 2004. The drive is 2.25 miles, and guests will not be allowed to get out of their cars to explore exhibits.
New exhibits include a salute to medical personnel. Displays from past years with a driving option will return, including "Monstro," the whale from Pinocchio and a 15-foot tall waving Santa Claus. Regular attractions include lighted dinosaur figures, a unicorn, a pirate ship in the lagoon, flamingos, a Who Dat tree, scenes of Jackson Square, a musical tribute and more.
Admission will be by timed ticketing, and a limited number of tickets will be available. Tickets for cars and SUVs range from $18.99 to $32.99 for up to eight guests in a vehicle. There also are options for limos and party busses. Hours of operation will be 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

The Madisonville Market, put on by the Northshore Maker’s Market Foundation, is more than just a farmer’s market. It’s a place where the community can interact with local artisans, crafters, farmers, chefs and more as they share their passion for making handmade goods, homegrown produce and prepared foods.
The weekly market takes place each Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the Madisonville Park & Playground, located on Pine Street near the 1000 block (closest cross street is Jahncke Ave.). Over 40 vendors offer hot and ready-to-eat foods, chocolates and candies, cookies and baked goods, jams and jellies, sauces and seasonings, flowers, plants, eggs, cheeses, fruits, veggies, local honey and selections by local vintners. Also, you'll find original art, handmade jewelry and accessories, hand-dyed fabrics, hand-sewn leather goods, wooden creations, soaps and body care products, health and wellness items, home decor items, baby clothes and hand sewn masks.
Shopping aside, families will enjoy the nearby playground, and be sure to look for on-site artists and massage therapists when you're ready to take a break from your shopping. There's also a concession stand on the ballfield with bottled water and sodas.
The non-profit Northshore Maker’s Market Foundation partners with local government, businesses, and other non-profit organizations to fund local projects such as the restoration of historic sites in Madisonville, and the education of young adults ages 14-24 in the arts, trades, agriculture, and entrepreneurship through donations, fundraisers, and mentorship efforts, all with an approach of attaining sustainable solutions for healthier living.
The Northshore Maker’s Market Foundation is sponsored by Resource Bank and local small businesses such as Flamjeaux Coffee Co., a small roasting house in Mandeville.

beaver moon
WHY IS IT CALLED THE BEAVER MOON?
November’s full Moon was traditionally called the Beaver Moon by a number of Native Americans and colonial Americans. Many Native American groups used the monthly Moons and nature’s corresponding signs as a calendar to track the seasons.
Why the “Beaver” Moon? This is the time of year when beavers begin to take shelter in their lodges, having laid up sufficient stores of food for the long winter ahead. During the time of the fur trade in North America, it was also the season to trap beavers for their thick, winter-ready pelts.

The performers will entertain all while maintaining social distance in the outside space after completing stringent COVID-19 check-in procedures.

Krewe of Krampus drive-by “parade” |
The Krewe of Krampus isn’t a Carnival organization, but it’s Dec. 5 drive-by event may be a model for 2021 Carnival activities. Founded in 2017, the Krampus parade is inspired by an Alpine Christmas tradition in which St. Nicolas has a wicked counterpart called Krampus, who punishes children for their misdeeds. The Krampus parade, which usually takes place in the Bywater, has been reimagined this year. Instead of marching through the narrow streets dispensing candy and lumps of coal, the cast of almost 100 costumed characters will arrange themselves around a long, horseshoe-shaped driveway at the New Orleans Recreation Development Commission, 5420 Franklin Ave. Visitors will drive past a spooky array of wintery props, as the Krampus characters perform around them.

Supernova will celebrate 10 works of light-based art, including the debut of William Nemitoff’s Iris of Memory–a permanent installation anchoring the plaza site. Supernova will also feature seven temporary exhibitions by local artists, and Michel Varisco’s permanent work Turning: Prayer Wheels for the Mississippi River.
“This fall marks the 5th Anniversary of the Lafitte Greenway’s opening, at a moment when public need for safe outdoor spaces, access to the arts, community connection, and support of local artists and businesses has never been greater,” said Friends of Lafitte Greenway Executive Director, Sophie Vorhoff, “Transforming our annual gala into a celebration of light, joy, and wonder during the holiday season feels like the perfect way to honor the Greenway’s birthday while responding to the community need.”
While Supernova is free for the public to view, it is a critical fundraiser for the Lafitte Greenway. Individuals and businesses have the opportunity to support the exhibit and future Greenway programming and improvements through making a donation. In exchange for donations, participants receive “doubluminary” tokens to exchange for exclusive perks and specials at participating local businesses from December 1, 2020 to January 15, 2021. The “Star Business” program is designed to bring foot-traffic and support to local businesses around the Lafitte Greenway that have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Don't Miss SuperNova - A Cool Light Show on the Lafitte Greenway |
Celebrate the Greenway's 5th Birthday with a 2-week spectacle of light and wonder on the brand new Greenway Plaza -- outdoors at a safe social distance. This free, safe, and socially distanced outdoor experience will inspire joy and community healing, drive foot-traffic and customers to local businesses, and raise critical funds for the Greenway’s growth in 2021.
Supernova will be the first program to activate the new Greenway Plaza, a vibrant and welcoming community space where the Greenway meets the Bayou St. John (approx. 3200 Lafitte Ave) that will open in early December. The Plaza is a transformation of the former driveway and parking of the newly redeveloped Brake Tag Pavilion building–an open-air, covered community space on the Greenway. These 2020 projects have transformed the area from a space designed for cars to a place for people, with public art, seating, stormwater infrastructure, and native plantings.
