A Very Veggie Tuesday with Great Music!

Happy Tuesday!

Farmer's Market!

You can get your day started off right with a trip to the Farmer's Market!!!  Visit the Crescent City's Farmer's Market at University Square (200 Broadway) from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm for the freshest veggies, fruits and seafood.  Today for the Green Plate Special they welcome New Orleans' first and only solar-electric food truck, Empanada Intifada. Look forward to empanadas including the Sasquash (squash and cheese), Bean-a Vista Social Club (Cuban black bean), Mestizo (kind of like a meat pie), and their fantastic Thai peach pie for dessert......Yum!

And if you want more fresh veggies the Hollygrove Market has a new pick-up location and hours for today from 5:00 to 7:00 pm.  Pick-up at Rosa F. Keller Community Center (4300 Broad @ Napoleon Ave.) and on most Tuesdays they're cookin' up all these delicious fruits and veggies in the Community Center Kitchen.  So come in for a taste, and great recipe ideas for all this delicious fresh food.  In order to pick up from this location you need to pre-order.  So click here to find out how - http://www.hollygrovemarket.com/content/5669

And there's a great evening on the Avenue, because it's another lovely southern night for porch sitting and music over at the The Columns (3811 St. Charles Ave.) from 8:00 to 11:00 pm...Have a fancy cocktail and listen to the guitar sounds of John Rankin and the accordian of Norbert Slama!

Head on over to Mid-City and to Chickie Wah Wah (2828 Canal) and check out the bluesy rock sounds of guitar player Chris Mule from the Honey Island Swamp Band with some special guests at 8:00 pm.  And come hungry for delicious pizza, pasta, salads and more!!

There's some fun on Frenchmen tonight too over at d.b.a. (618 Frenchmen) with the The Treme Brass Band at 10:00 pm - there's a $5 cover for the show - but you know you don't want to miss it!

Right down the street the Spotted Cat (623 Frenchmen) has a triple header with no cover - Andy Forest at 4:00 pm, Meschiya Lake & The Little Big Horns at 6:00 pm, and top off the evening with the Aurora Nealand and The Royal Roses at 10:00 pm!

End your night over at the Maple Leaf Bar on Oak Street...with  the Grammy Award winning REBIRTH Brass Band they come on around 10:30ish - there's a cover, but you'll be glad you paid and stayed up late!!
