Well since I do not have a clone, I only attended and enjoyed the following:
Margarita Bergen added 15 new photos to the album: THNOC's " It's a block party!" — with Priscilla O'Reilly Lawrence
The Historic New Orleans Collection sure knows how to throw a block party and even Mother Nature cooperated. It was so much fun!
In celebration of the grand opening of its new $38 million exhibition center at 520 Royal St., as well as International Museum Day 2019, The Historic New Orleans Collection hosted a block party with live music, food and beverage vendors, on Saturday, May 18, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The block party also coincided with New Orleans's hosting the American Alliance of Museums annual conference, which was expected to bring 4,000 visitors to the city.
The event featured performances from local favorite The Tin Men, Latin band Javier Olondo & AsheSon, traditional brass band the Storyville Stompers, the children's band Confetti Park Players and trad jazz band the Detroit Brooks Trio. Food and beverages were available for purchase from local bars and restaurants including Café Cour-THNOC's new museum café-Country Flame, Kingfish, Longway Tavern, Manolito, and Meauxbar. The food was delicious as well as the cocktails.
As in the past the exquisite mansion of the co-captain of the Krewe of Stars, Carl Mack, and his partner, Darric Cavalier's awesome home was the setting of the annual "Cruisin' into Summer." We celebrated Carl 's birthday and the delicious food, the decadent cocktails, and the superb entertainment made it to be a very memorable soiree.
Album Patio Planter's Birthday Party (5 photos)
Patio Planters of the Vieux Carre. The theme was a Hawaiian luau and everyone looked so festive.
I stopped briefly in my way to the LPO's concert at the historic courtyard of the Old Ursuline Convent since I did not wanted to miss, the annual birthday party for the venerable Patio Planters of the Vieux Carre. The theme was a Hawaiian luau and everyone looked so festive.
