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 La Divina Gelateria. This week they'll have truffled cauliflower soup, braciole, sautéed greens and fresh mozzarella sandwich, green beans with pine nuts, and turnip parmesan fries with smokey tomato "catsup". Save the cooking for later this week and enjoy lunch at the market!
And if you want more fresh veggies head on over to the Hollygrove Market. You can go by their location at 8301 Olive Street between Noon and 6:00 pm, and they have a new pick-up location and from 5:00 to 7:00 pm at Rosa F. Keller Community Center (4300 Broad @ Napoleon Ave.). 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 the library location you need to pre-order.

Early Christmas Fun!
Christmas starts a little early with Canal Street Lighting Ceremony in front of the Astor Crowne Plaza (739 Canal Street) at 5:30 p.m. Stroll along Canal Street and watch as the Downtown Development District and the Astor Crowne Plaza Hotel “flip the switch,” turning on more than 1 million twinkling lights on New Orleans’ grand corridor. Stop by the hotel’s St Charles Ballroom just off the lobby from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and decorate your own holiday cookie while enjoying complimentary hot cocoa or apple cider. Santa will be there to hear your wish list for the holidays. Bring an unwrapped, new toy for local charities and receive a free picture with Santa!
