Mornings at The Fly, located at 6500 Magazine St in New Orleans, LA 70118 can be a great addition to any morning routine. They are free and can be made to fit the personal needs of any attendee, as people can pick up or cook breakfast to eat in the fresh air, read their favorite book, listen to music, set up a hammock, and people watch. People that live nearby can walk to the grassy area to get their morning exercise and daily movement in, and there is also a parking lot for anyone who drives. It is a great place to feel grounded in nature before a work-from-home job, office setting, or long commute.

The Southern Food and Beverage Children’s Museum is having a Chicago deep-dish pizza event. They will be serving deliciously thick and flakey crust-heavy pizza, cooked in cast iron skillets. Pizzas will range from plain cheese to supreme, so there is something for everyone! There aren’t a ton of places to get deep-dish pizza in New Orleans, so go solo or with a group to try a slice. It is also a great place to bring kids, as they might not have had a chance to try this take on pizza yet and the event is geared towards them.

Santa’s Pajama Party at Restaurant R’evolution, the joint restaurant of award-winning chefs John Folse and Rick Tramonto, is a family tradition in the making. Children are expected to dress in Christmas pajamas, bring their gift wishlist for Santa, and spend time with Santa. Warm, in-house, hot chocolate, apple cider, and a make-your-own cookies setup are included in the price. It is a great way to feel the Christmas spirit that can be more challenging to experience in a warmer city without snow.

Get out your calendars, because Vivacious Miss Audacious is putting on a psychedelic speakeasy burlesque show on December 4, 2021. It is described as a “surreal evening of burlesque and performance art filled with untold delights, vibrant colors, wild sensations and outrageous acts!” Colorful and neon clothing is encouraged. It is a great way to do something new on a Saturday night, and besides, you then have all of Sunday to recover from the late night. No home movie can replace the thrill of an in-person arts performance, put on by amazing talent.

Meduza live, originally scheduled for July 23, 2021, is finally happening on Friday, November 19. The Metropolitan is the exact venue a DJ should play at, with a huge dance floor, multiple bars, two levels, tables, and wild colorful lights. Steve Aoki, Diplo, The Chainsmokers, Nicky Romero, Hardwell, and countless more have played electric, crowd-favorite, concerts here. It is a great way to start the weekend and a great event to look forward to all week. Wear shoes that you can dance in, get dinner nearby at Cochon prior, and be prepared for a LATE, but phenomenal, night.
