I did not have Taylor Swift pays for new light bulbs in the I-10 street lights on my 2024 bingo card.

Hello Reddit, I am looking for information on the best small business sneaker spots on Nola or the area around. Ideally a spot that’s small business owned and a community thing. (Not something like Foot Locker etc)

Hi! My boyfriend and I will be in NOLA and he wants to try a po boy. I however am allergic to shellfish & want to get some recs where he can try his po boy and I can get a seafood free dish! TIA

My friends and I had a very deep conversation about my love life and how I deserve more in our airbnb tonight. When I got out of the shower I found this. Meaning? Or just happenstance?

Looking for a new place for a nice haircut, flexible on price. Bonus points for being able to handle wavy hair.

Thanks yall!!

How do cars like this not get pulled over

Hey Guys,

I am coming to NOLA in Jan with a few friends for a birthday and looking to hire someone (definitely does not need to be a professional, I prefer someone's grandmother) to come and do a fish fry for us and maybe make some classic dishes for a dinner home cooking style. Happy to pay of course for their time and all supplies.

If anyone knows someone, or would be interested in taking on the role, please let me know!

THANKS!

I don’t have any friends or family here and want to still enjoy my night. Where can I go to have a good time and possibly even meet some new acquaintances?

Me and my boyfriend (both 20) are in New Orleans for Halloween week and leaving Nov 2. He had a work trip here and incidentally we happen to be here during Halloween. Does anyone have any ideas of what we can do Halloween night (a Thursday) and the weekend for adults but under 21?

What should I do? His dad, when he’s here, treats me the same way.

Looking for a house to rent (to live in, not AirBnB) and starting to wonder if Zillow/Trulia/Rent.com are really the best place to find those nowadays. I've been a renter here for around 7 years, and it's always been slim pickings, but I really feel like the options are even worse than usual. The other day I went to a showing where I could feel the rotting floorboards under my feet every time I took a step....

Where are landlords posting their properties these days? Should I be looking somewhere more local than the big apps/websites? (Please don't say Craigslist.)

Edit: Thanks y'all! Looks like the verdict is to drive around. Small hiccup is that I don't have a neighborhood I particularly want to live in. The bigger objective is to leave, not to arrive. But I'll do a little research and see if I can narrow it down a bit.

Hey guys! I found these leaves covering and rubber banded to my driver's side mirror this morning. I was visiting town during the weekend and this happened overnight. I was wondering if this had any meaning to it? Please let me know! :) I stayed in the Tremé area.

Someone looking for this? Frustrated song writer? Replicating Animal House movie?

Near Lake Ponchatrain under bayou St. John bridge.

Been hearing car engines revving and tires screeching mixed with the occasional siren for the last 20 minutes. Press dr and chef area. Sounds like one of those deals where they shut down an intersection and do donuts

I just moved here and work in FQ. Saw a bunch of witches walking around yesterday. I asked and one said they have a “witches lunch” and they do the lunch like every month and before Mardi Gras… something like that. How do I become a part of this group and get notified of when and where the lunch will be taking place?

Hello! Coming in next week on the 29th and I was wondering if there was anything going on for Halloween? 18+ crowd preferably. Or any recommendations for which clubs/bars you can get into 18+. Dancing is my fav LOL

Hey friends :) me and my friend are visiting Oct 29-Nov 4, any recommendations for some cool Halloween events going on? TIA! 🎃🧡

EDIT: Thank you everyone! I’m in New Orleans now and am enjoying the wonderful hospitality-both in person and on Reddit. I really appreciate the suggestions and am loving this city.

We’re coming in to see Taylor Swift this weekend. The outfit I ordered didn’t arrive in time. I know everyone will be looking at Taylor and nobody will be looking at me but I’m bummed about it because I almost never have the chance to get dressed up. I figured this might give me a chance to buy something local instead.

We’re leaving today and driving 10 hours to New Orleans for this concert, so we mostly just have Saturday morning to do the tiniest bit of sightseeing. What is something near the Jung Hotel that is a must-see? Also, where can can one mom with two teen girls do some quick clothes shopping? Any suggestions near the Jung Hotel that would save me from wearing my old leggings and holey t-shirt to this concert would be so appreciated!

Hey y'all, I purchased two tickets to the above event to plant bonsai trees tonight (Thursday 10/24) at 6pm and unfortunately my partner and I aren't feeling well. These are $85 non-refundable tickets and I'm pissed that we're going to have to miss it. If anyone would like to go in our place, message me and I'll send you the PDF tickets. I would really like to get a few bucks for them but honestly if you want them for free, that's fine too. Just knowing that they aren't going to waste is better than nothing.

Looking for one 2 day pass or individual tickets pm me

Hi there,
First off, I know how great the odds are against me here, and the likelihood that I'll never see my bike again is almost assured...but I've still gotta try, so keep any discouraging comments to yourself.

MAKE AND MODEL + IDENTIFYING FEATURES: MAGICYCLE DEER 52V, DARK GRAY/BLACK *Product page at the link below- (https://www.magicyclebike.com/products/electric-hunting-bikes-magicycle-deer-full-suspension-ebike?variant=49227199119642)

*NOTE: One thing that should be easy/quick to notice is the plastic tire wells/drip guards...I've modified them and cut them down about 1/2 way to a V-shaped point rather than keeping the full half-tire size.

ADD'L INFO: This bike was stolen from me roughly 6 weeks ago near the CVS on Elysian Fields, and was only a few months old when it was taken. Unless the thief has destroyed it, it should still look relatively new.

MONEY & REWARDS: I'm more than happy to pay generously if something you can tell me proves to be helpful. If a tip actually leads to the person who now has my bike, or otherwise leads to it's recovery, at least $100-150 will be given, maybe more. I'm open to work with you.

LASTLY, If anyone knows ANYTHING that might be helpful, PLEASE don't hesitate to reach out. This bike is incredibly important to me, and I have to get it back.

Thanks! -Dean

This is crazy. I was accidentally ticketed twice at the same time. The officer apparently pressed ENTER twice on his machine, because I got two tickets time stamped one minute apart for the exact same infraction.

This was a year and a half ago, and at the time I could actually talk to someone on the phone, and they saw it was a duplicate, and said they cleared it. This week, I learned that it was never cleared, and still shows as delinquent (and four times the original fee).

Their phone system is impossible. I've called many times, and there's just no way to reach a live person. I live in Lafayette, so going in person is not an option.

Do they have an email address or something?

Hey y’all, I’m in town until saturday morning and I was really hoping to go to a halloween party/event on thursday 10/24 (not a goddamn bar crawl or walking tour) but surprisingly I can’t find any for thursday :( I already have plans for friday night so any suggestions?

Me and my friend are going to the T swift concert on Friday. We are staying at the Virgin hotel, about an 11 minute walk from the dome. We looked into getting a driver but ultimately decided it was stupid to pay so much money when we could just walk, AND avoid all the traffic. However I told my mom this and she warned me about how unsafe this was. Is it safe to walk to the dome and back to the hotel that late? It’s all public streets and I’m sure there will be a swarm of people leaving the concert all at once doing the same thing we are.
