#BONO2014

Welcome to

very year we try to change it up a bit, from adding and dropping some categories to the presentation of the winners. This year we’ve given over the entire issue to #BONO2014 (with the exception of listings); all the regular Gambit features will be back next week. We’ve also made it more visually appealing with bolder use of photography and new section openers throughout the paper.

Often we get questions about methodology, and I’ve tried to answer a few of those: HOW DO YOU PICK THE CATEGORIES? We start working on Best of New Orleans in May, when we have a few meetings reviewing the issue from the year before, culling some categories and adding other ones. Some are topical and funny (“Best Place to Get Kale,” “Best Prison Nickname for Ray Nagin”) and some reflect our changing city and world (“Best Vape Shop”). HOW DO YOU COUNT ALL THOSE BALLOTS? We couldn’t do it without managing editor Kandace Graves, who has kept BONO on track for more than a decade via various platforms. Only ballots that are more than 50 percent complete are counted, and we have ways to weed out cheaters (and there are some with every issue). One big change we made this year was going strictly to online voting, which sped up the process considerably and kept us from having to hand-enter all those paper ballots that used to arrive daily at Gambit World HQ in Mid-City.

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > AUGUST 26 > 2014

ARE THE RESULTS REALLY REAL? Absolutely, and they reflect your tastes, not necessarily those of the staff. Some seem to remain the same year after year (after year, after year … ), while others reflect changing times (in the 2004 edition, the top three winners in “Best Local Figure Who Should Run For President” were Ray Nagin, Bobby Jindal and David Vitter).

WHAT’S THE BIGGEST CHANGE THIS YEAR? Without question, it’s the dining categories. New Orleans has had so many restaurants — and so many different kinds of restaurants — open in the last few years that the choices in the dining field are more varied than ever, with lots of new names leaping onto the list.

[Around the office we just call it BONO.] BY KEVIN ALLMAN WILL COVIELLO CLANCY DUBOS

One final note: Last year we teamed up with our television partner, WWL-TV, to present a Best of New Orleans TV special, hosted by Sheba Turk and Derek Kevra. Derek’s gone, so this year we’ve got a new cohost: Gambit’s special sections editor Missy Wilkinson. Tune in to see Sheba, Missy and some other Gambit staffers present “Best of New Orleans 2014” at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 26 on WWL-TV. And for all you voters who made it through the whole ballot: Well done. This is your Best of New Orleans. — Kevin Allman, editor

1. MoPho

514 City Park Ave., (504) 482-6845; www.mophonola.com @mophonola MoPho’s menu, which takes a gourmet approach to traditional Vietnamese dishes, was an immediate hit in its Mid-City neighborhood, and earlier this month the restaurant was nominated as one of Bon Appetit’s Best New Restaurants. Chef Michael Gulotta (former chef de cuisine at Restaurant August) has constructed a restaurant that’s both a casual drop-in spot and a place for a special meal. Make your own pho (pick a broth and add your own ingredients) or go for favorites like crispy lemon grass chicken wings or fried shrimp spring rolls. (If they’ve roasted a whole pig on the patio, as they often do, don’t miss it.) Sandwiches (hot sausage, duck, oysters, and quite a few more) meld hearty po-boy flavors to lighter banh mi tastes. Cocktails are solid, too; the Tamarind Sour melds rye whiskey to tamarind, while the Dragon Lady starts with housemade dragonfruit tequila. Tip: Watch where you park; the adjoining lot can and does tow with ferocious frequency.

Commander’s Palace

BEST NEW ORLEANS RESTAURANT 1. Commander’s Palace

1403 Washington Ave., (504) 899-8221; www.commanderspalace.com @commanders_nola If there are balloons on every other table, it’s because Commander’s is as much a party as a restaurant. A warren of individually decorated rooms (the Garden Room is the best) in a turquoise wedding-cake palace, Commander’s manages to be both New Orleans classic and completely up-to-date. Chef Tory McPhail, winner of a 2013 James Beard Award, turns rustic ingredients into modern takes on Creole cuisine: lacquered quail, Cajun-inflected gumbo and the freshest fish in town. If you have guests from out of town, let them get dazzled by the service — and ask for a tour of the restaurant (which includes the kitchen) when you’re done with your meal. Pro tips: If you’re celebrating a special occasion, let the restaurant know when you make your reservation, and if you’d like to meet Lally Brennan or Ti Martin, the restaurateurs who keep Commander’s running like a top, ask your server. They enjoy meeting guests.

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > AUGUST 26 > 2014

2301 Orleans Ave., (504) 821-0600; www.dookychaserestaurant.com Leah Chase’s landmark restaurant is a vital Creole food spot, a living history lesson and a gallery of contemporary African-American art. Much of the New Orleans civil rights movement was planned and discussed over bowls of gumbo and plates of greens here, and Chase herself was the impetus for turning what was a blue-plate special restaurant (the Globe Sandwich Shop) into a place of fine dining for black New Orleanians who couldn’t get served at the city’s white-tablecloth establishments. Since then, Chase has taught Julia Child how to fry chicken, presidents make campaign stops at her restaurant, and Chase inspired the Walt Disney Company’s first African-American princess (Tiana of The Princess and the Frog). Lunch at Dooky Chase on Holy Thursday is an important ritual for many, who come to eat the restaurant’s gumbo z’herbes (green gumbo). Making a reservation far in advance is essential. If you’ve never been to Dooky Chase, a good introduction is the Friday all-you-can-eat lunch buffet ($17.95), which features Chase’s fried chicken, gumbo, greens and other soul-kitchen favorites.

BEST NEIGHBORHOOD RESTAURANT 1. Katie’s

3701 Iberville St., (504) 488-6582; www.katiesinmidcity.com @katiesmidcity Every New Orleans neighborhood should have a place like Katie’s in Mid-City, where you can stop in any time — dressed down or dressed up — for a simple burger or pizza, or opt for a more elaborate meal. Destroyed in the floods after Hurricane Katrina, it took Katie’s almost five years to get up and running. Seafood beignets, blackberry-jalapeno ribs, catfish meuniere, soft-shell crabs and “The Barge” (an entire loaf of Gendusa bread crammed with fried seafood) are just a few of the items on the extensive menu, but some of the best food is transitory, coming and going on the specials board. There’s also a full bar and some sidewalk seating. Food Network personality Guy Fieri spotlighted Katie’s on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, but it’s really none of the three — just an exemplar of what a New Orleans neighborhood restaurant can be.

BEST GUMBO 1. Gumbo Shop

630 St. Peter St., (504) 525-1486; www.gumboshop.com Louisianans know gumbo isn’t just a meal, it’s a ritual — the family recipes closely held, the meditative and prolonged stirring of the roux, the “Holy Trinity” (chopped celery, bell peppers and onions). So restaurateurs who approach the dish with anything less than total reverence are considered infidels. On the other hand, those who lavish appropriate care on this dish are rewarded with the undying loyalty of the faithful. Case in point: Gumbo Shop, which readers votes Best Gumbo for the 16th consecutive year. Customers can gobble gumbo by the bowl in the restaurant or by the gallon in containers that ship nationwide. And for the most die-hard devotees, the circa-1948 stalwart offers a seafood gumbo recipe that sheds light onto its time-consuming, meticulous preparation process: start cooking “early in the day,” the recipe advises. There’s a page devoted to the roux alone. Mais oui!

BEST MENU FOR VEGETARIANS/VEGANS 1. Seed

1330 Prytania St., (504) 302-2599; www.seedyourhealth.com After years of dining at restaurants where vegan entrees are an afterthought at best and nonexistent at worst (hello, plain baked potato), New Orleans vegans have a place where the entire menu is their oyster… er, seaweed salad. And what a place. This light-filled, high-ceilinged bistro in the Lower Garden District offers a fresh, clean backdrop for a procession of gorge-worthy comfort food classics (eggplant po-boys, Southern fried tofu nuggets, chocolate chip cookies) made from local, organic ingredients. With gluten-free, soy-free and raw offerings, the plant-based menu is appropriate for a variety of specialized diets. Even staunch carnivores are likely to be won over by the hearty barbecue sandwich and nachos, or at least their health-conscious sides will be. Top off a meal with a raw carrot cupcake and a fresh juice cocktail (almond milk punch blends bourbon, almond milk, vanilla, maple syrup and nutmeg) — gluttony has never been so virtuous.

BEST OUTDOOR DINING 1. Bacchanal

600 Poland Ave., (504) 948-9111; www.bacchanalwine.com @bacchanalwine The secret’s been out for a while — as Bacchanal’s frequent standing-room only crowds, celebrity guests and multiple BONO wins will attest. But a visit to the wine shop/gastropub/jazz club still feels like crashing a cool backyard party. There’s the clandestine entrance through a weathered wine shop that’s feels like a cellar but isn’t underground; the overgrown courtyard full of rickety lawn chairs, mismatched tables, tiki torches and strings of white lights; the walk-up kitchen window. Still, they’ve spruced up the place since going legit with food and music permits: There’s a second-floor dining room, craft cocktails, beer and small plates by chef Joaquin Rodas designed to unlock the somewhat esoteric flavors of the shop’s Old World European wines. Perhaps best of all, Bacchanal now accepts credit cards, but you’ll still want to bring cash to throw in the musicians’ tip jar. That’s keeping it real.

923 Decatur St., (504) 523-1620; www.centralgroceryneworleans.com @centralgrocery There are a million kinds of po-boys, but only one kind of real muffuletta — Italian ham and salami, mortadella and/or provolone, served with olive salad on a round seeded bun. Nevertheless, they all somehow taste different. Why? Who knows. If location has something to do with it, it would explain the eternal popularity of the muff from Central Grocery. You pick up a premade sandwich wrapped in paper (a quarter? a half? a whole?) and pay for it at a time-warp Italian grocery counter, waiting in line with tourists, half of whom seem to be buying one for the plane ride home. Then comes the question: where to enjoy it? On a bench in Jackson Square with a cold beer? On the levee overlooking the river with a Barq’s? Either way you’ll be juggling the sandwich, trying to keep the big chunks of olives from falling out and, likely, picking them up off your lap and popping them in your mouth. Yeah, it’s that good.

Roosevelt Hotel, 123 Baronne St., (504) 648-6020; www.domenicarestaurant.com @chefjohnbesh If your idea of happy hour specials is after-work cocktail weenies, bar snacks and $1 off draft beer, let Domenica set you straight. First of all, its happy hour runs from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. daily (including weekends), and you can forget peanuts and pretzels: All pizzas, glasses of wine, beer and well drinks are half off. That means Chef Alon Shaya’s margherita pizza is $6.50 for a family-sized pie, and a prosciutto pizza with fresh mozzarella and arugula is $7.50. This isn’t really happy hour — it’s some hitherto undiscovered fourth meal between lunch and dinner, an early-bird special that’s really something special.

The historic theater underwent a $52 million renovation to remedy post-Hurricane Katrina flood damages and it features a classically inspired look in the theater and expanded backstage space, enabling it to host large-scale Broadway shows. Comedian Jerry Seinfeld reopened the theater, followed by performances from D.L. Hughley, Kristin Chenoweth, Wynton Marsalis, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and the Tony-award winning blockbuster The Book of Mormon. In the past year, the theater has hosted performances including Jack White, Bonnie Raitt and Diana Ross and an all-star tribute to Dr. John with cameos by Bruce Springsteen and John Fogerty. It’s also hosted comedian Bill Maher, A Prairie Home Companion’s Garrison Keillor, the Moscow Ballet and Theresa Caputo, the Long Island Medium.

Then you have to be buzzed in by the bartender. But once you’re in the long, skinny sanctuary known as Pal’s, you’ll find a friendly crowd of all ages (older during the day, younger at night), strong drinks, a pinball machine, an air hockey table and sometimes even a pop-up restaurant. The must-have drink is a gingerita (ginger margarita; get a double, served in a blue plastic go-cup), and be sure to check out the bathrooms. The women’s is in the most inconvenient place ever, up a couple of stairs in full view of the bar, while the men’s is wallpapered in what seems to be every page from a 1969 edition of Playboy. 1970s music on the jukebox and naked-lady paintings help make this one of the most comfortable dives in New Orleans.

3442 St. Charles Ave., (504) 895-0858; www.thedelachaise.com @thedelachaise Since it opened, Delachaise has been known for its selection of wines available by the glass, delivered in miniature carafes. The list typically draws from familiar French regions as well as Spanish, Austrian, Italian and California bottlings. There’s usually more than 20 to choose from, including several sparkling wines. (There also is a good selection of imported and American craft beers.) The long row of booths and high cocktail tables fill the building’s narrow boxcar shape, and there’s seating on a small fenced-in patio overlooking St. Charles Avenue. Delachaise also has kept customers happy with a menu of charcuterie and small plates, but locals have had no problem pairing fine wine with fries fried in duck or goose fat and served with aioli and spicy dipping sauces. The bar strikes a happy medium between refined and relaxed, and it’s not been hard to keep its cozy space filled with locals.

BEST LOCAL BRASS BAND

Rebirth Brass Band

1. Rebirth Brass Band

P H O TO BY C HERY L G ERBER

In its more than 30 years of existence, Rebirth Brass Band has been at the forefront of incorporating R&B, soul and funk into contemporary brass band music; it’s logged a lot of miles at local second-line parades and touring the U.S. and Europe; and it’s put in a lot of late nights at its nearly two-decadeold Tuesday night residency at the Maple Leaf Bar. The dedication and experience paid off in 2012 in the form of a Grammy Award for Best Regional Roots Music Album for Rebirth of New Orleans. In April, as it previewed its latest album Move Your Body, NOLA Brewing Company released Rebirth Pale Ale, proceeds of which benefit Rebirth drummer Derrick Tabb’s Roots of Music program. The band established itself as such an institution in New Orleans music and second-line parade scenes that Tulane University anthropologist Matt Sakakeeny used it as the focus of his 2013 book about brass band culture, Roll With It: Brass Bands in the Streets of New Orleans (Duke University Press). The band’s become synonymous with contemporary brass band music and is Gambit readers’ favorite.

2. Hot 8 Brass Band 3. Soul Rebels

Trombone Shorty

Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue have been on a tear since the band released Backatown in 2010. It followed up with For True in 2011 and Say That to Say This in September 2013. The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival anointed Troy Andrews and the group to take over the festival closing spot from the Neville Brothers, and the band has stood out at other festivals, including Coachella and Lollapalooza, where it recently turned in a trombone-heavy cover of Green Day’s “Brain Stew,” drawing raves from Rolling Stone. Andrews has become the first-call ambassador of New Orleans jazz, funk and R&B, making guest appearances on stage with Prince at Essence Music Festival and representing the city (along with Dr. John) in the all-star lineup of halftime entertainment at the NBA All-Star Game in New Orleans in February.

BEST LIVE MUSIC SHOW IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS 1. Prince at Essence Festival

The 20th anniversary Essence Festival booked one of the biggest acts to perform at a local festival in the last year: Prince. He launched his show with “Let’s Go Crazy,” which had already been played that night by Janelle Monae, with Prince making a brief appearance to contribute a guitar solo. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the release of Purple Rain, but he saved the title track until his final encore. The rest of the set was filled with his early hits: “Kiss,” “Raspberry Beret,” “Little Red Corvette,” “1999” and “When Doves Cry.” Other early songs included “U Got the Look” and “Sign O’ the Times,” and Prince played “Don’t Stop ’til You Get Enough” in tribute to Michael Jackson. Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews came onstage for a few songs. Prince also previewed 3RDEYEGIRL material, but even if he never writes another tune, he’s got more than enough old favorites to please audiences at another big Essence anniversary.

Not much has changed over the years in the main music room, with its small stage, bars along both side walls and high ceiling offering room for second floor balcony views. But Tip’s is an institution, named for Professor Longhair’s 1953 tune, and a bust of Fess still greets patrons at the front of the club. Tip’s also hosts the weekly Sunday fais do-do Cajun dancing parties and mentoring sessions for young musicians. Its namesake foundation supports music programs in local schools through fundraisers such as Instruments A Comin’. The club keeps a busy calendar and it helps nourish the roots of New Orleans music, making it a favorite among locals.

@antdavis23 No contest here. The face (and eyebrows) of the Pelicans’ franchise (entering its second-ever season) was also an NBA All-Star and member of Team USA. The 6-foot, 10-inch Wildcat finished the 2013-2014 NBA season averaging more than 20 points per game and led the league in blocks per game. He’ll take flight in the Pelicans’ season opener on Oct. 28 against the Orlando Magic.

www.terranceosborne.com @terranceosborne Painter and muralist Terrance Osborne is a New Orleans native best known for his brightly colored, often whimsical paintings of his hometown’s distinct houses, street scenes and culture. In recent years, he’s created several official New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival posters, including the 2014 poster featuring the Preservation Hall Jazz Band second-lining out of its French Quarter headquarters and the 2012 poster featuring Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews playing trombone on his porch in a neighborhood of shotgun and Creole cottage homes. Osborne also rendered a portrait of beloved drummer “Uncle” Lionel Batiste for the 2010 Congo Square poster and the Rebirth Brass Band’s Phil Frazier for the 2007 Congo Square poster. Osborne has partnered with the New Orleans Pelicans, created the massive-scale New Orleans skyline mural on the Hilton New Orleans Riverside and created images for the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club. He’s captured the vibrancy of local life and caught our readers’ eyes.

In 2008, Rene Louapre and Becker Hall turned their pig roast into a nonprofit dedicated to supporting families affected by pediatric brain cancer. The 2014 event drew more than 20,000 people to City Park’s festival grounds to enjoy live music and an array of pork dishes presented by teams with clever names, including Piggy Stardust, Hupig’s, Captain Porkenheimer and Notorious P.I.G.

Pedal beneath an oak tree canopy, passing the kinds of New Orleans houses that would be at home in tourist manuals. The only thing separating you from the days of Degas, whose family’s Louisiana residence is one of the landmarks you’ll roll by, is that you’re on two wheels, not horse and buggy, within the confines of a spacious bike lane to which cars must yield.

BEST NONPROFIT 1. Louisiana SPCA

1700 Mardi Gras Blvd., (504) 368-5191; www.la-spca.org @laspca Begun in the 19th century as the Louisiana State Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the LA-SPCA contracts with the city of New Orleans to provide animal-related services, from animal control to a spay-neuter program — and, of course, shelter, foster lost-and-found and adoption services. The organization also provides educational outreach and advocates for laws that benefit the welfare of animals. After its longtime shelter on Japonica Street was destroyed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the LA-SPCA relocated to Algiers and reopened in 2007 with a new facility. Last year the LA-SPCA broke ground on Phase II of its construction, which will include a public veterinary clinic and a new adoption facility to show off the animals looking for a home.

He represents a diverse array of local and nationally known artists including Douglas Bourgeois, Edward Burtynsky, Willie Birch, Dale Chihuly, Lin Emery, Deborah Luster, Bruce Davenport Jr., David Halliday, Gene Koss and Bunny Matthews as well as the late George Dureau, Ida Kohlmeyer, John Scott, Robert Colescott and Gordon Parks. His gallery also has hosted photography shows by filmmaker John Waters, whom he also represents.

It’s known for riders’ colorful and creative wigs, glittered shoes, shoe medallion beads and cosmetic sundries throws, but this year, it remodeled the entire parade with the fashion theme “Ready to Wear You Out.” Gov. Bobby Jindal sported a new look in an “insinceresucker” suit. The Times-Picayune/NOLA Media Group executive editor Jim Amoss was depicted nude in the “TP Streak.” Orleans Parish Prison’s unofficial self-release program was lampooned in “Project Runaway,” and festival emergencies were celebrated in “Pret-A-Portolet: Ready to Pee.” The parade also debuted “glambeaux,” Muses’ version of traditional flambeaux. The krewe also distributed mini comic books penned by Caesar Meadows.

While many local celebrities helped out in the days after Hurricane Katrina and the federal floods, Connick may have set a record; He went to the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center to console residents and plead for help; he co-hosted the telethon A Concert for Hurricane Relief, which raised more than $50 million; and he and Branford Marsalis, along with Habitat for Humanity, created Musicians’ Village in the Upper 9th Ward. Add to that his status as Billboard’s artist with the most No. 1 jazz albums, an entertainment career that includes film scores (When Harry Met Sally), TV (Will & Grace) and Broadway (The Pajama Game).

Even sleepy suburb towns like Waterbury, Connecticut had the chain long before New Orleans did. But when H&M opened its multilevel, 32,000-square-foot French Quarter location last November, those days came to a much-anticipated halt. The gleaming, affordable-yet avant-garde darling of frugalistas worldwide features women’s, children’s, plus-size, sports and men’s apparel, lingerie and accessories departments. Though it teased anxious customers by postponing its grand opening from Halloween to mid-November, this newcomer still managed to stand out in a year that saw a number of much-heralded grand openings.

And designer labels that aren’t buried in a sea of garage sale rejects, maybe some Chanel, Jimmy Choo and Diane von Furstenburg. A posh boutique environment with friendly and knowledgeable attendants wouldn’t hurt. If the purchase could leave zero carbon footprint, that would be great. And what if customers could somehow monetize their shopping experience … maybe by selling their own gently used apparel there? While we’re talking pipe dreams, how about having boutique locations in Uptown, Riverbend and Metairie, just so nobody has to drive too far to get there? Oh! Even better! Make their merchandise available on eBay (stores.ebay.com/swapboutique) so you can shop whenever the urge hits! OK, it’s a pretty tall order … but I bet such an upscale consignment shop would be voted number one by Gambit readers four years in a row. Just putting that out there.

5530 Magazine St., (504) 570-6101; www.blomedry.com @bloheartsyou Oh, Blo, there are so many reasons you blo us away: your sleek, stylish setting, the Champagne you offer customers, your clever wordplay (I admit it; I stole “blo us away” from a “tress fund baby” who works there) … but none so much as the glossy, movie-star coifs you bequeath unto mere mortals. An international blow-dry bar chain that opened its New Orleans location in 2013, Blo caters to on-the-go women who want to look like they just stepped out of a salon without spending the whole day there. Walk-in and after-hours appointments are available, and you’re in and out in an hour. There are no other salon services: just blow-outs, which aren’t cheap when you consider the style only lasts until your next shampoo. However, thanks to hairdresser alchemy and potent hair products, a ’do from Blo looks good for at least two to three days. A blowout may cost $40, but snapping the perfect #Iwokeuplikethis selfie sans bedhead is priceless.

1. The Roosevelt New Orleans

130 Roosevelt Way, (504) 648-1200; www.therooseveltneworleans.com @theroosevelt_no In 2009, when the Fairmont Hotel reopened as the Roosevelt — the name by which it had been known through most of the 20th century — old-line New Orleanians cheered at the return of the storied Blue Room, the restoration of the Sazerac Bar and an overhaul of the lobby that brought it back to its early 20th-century glory. Among the modern improvements was the opening of Domenica, a John Besh restaurant where Chef Alon Shaya’s wood-fired dishes were an immediate hit. (Domenica is also the winner of this year’s Best Happy Hour.) The Roosevelt also has a large place in American cocktail history — while neither the Sazerac nor the Ramos gin fizz were invented at the Roosevelt, both drinks were popularized there, and Huey Long, who served as both Louisiana governor and senator, frequently lived at the hotel and helped spread the word of the Ramos gin fizz.

2930 Magazine St., (504) 269-0106; www.pippenlane.com @pippenlane Leaving home is never easy. Last spring, Pippen Lane did exactly that, vacating its longtime location at 2929 Magazine Street. Luckily for the business and shoppers, it didn’t travel far … just across the street. Airy and bright, with picture windows offering views of Magazine Street, the location is new, but customers will find the same whimsical assortment of children’s clothing, shoes, toys, accessories and furniture they’ve come to love. There are all sorts of clothes, ranging from trendy graphic T-shirts to traditional embroidered smock dresses. Opened by owner Anna Beth Goodman in 1998, the store may soon see an influx of second-generation shoppers, as now-adult customers return to outfit their offspring. Multigenerational appeal is the hallmark of many New Orleans favorites, as is winning a Best of New Orleans readers’ poll. Congratulations, Pippen Lane. You’ve grown up so fast.

BEST LOCAL BUSINESS THAT SHOULD GO NATIONAL 1. Fleurty Girl

Citywide; www.fleurtygirl.net @fleurtygirl Is the rest of America ready to don T-shirts emblazoned with crawfish and pledge allegiance to a fleur-de-lis spangled flag? You seem to think so. With 22,000-plus Twitter followers and 84,000-plus Facebook likes, Fleurty Girl has spawned a Fleurty congregation ready to convert nonbelievers nationwide. If that seems like a tall order, let’s not forget the T-shirt juggernaut’s humble origins: owner Lauren Thom launched her business as a single mother of three with a tax refund and a dream. What started as a small business with a limited run of T-shirts now includes shoes, fashion accessories, home items, soap, music and books, all with NOLA flair. Revolutions have started with a lot less. Maybe the entire country will root for the New Orleans Saints someday … or at least wear T-shirts that say they do.

Funky Monkey

BEST STORE FOR VINTAGE CLOTHING 3127 Magazine St., (504) 899-5587; www.funkymonkeynola.com Funky Monkey opened in 1997, long enough ago that the clothing exchange store has seen certain styles go in and out of fashion and circle back to land on its vintage resale racks: platform boots, crop tops, mini-backpacks and rompers are among the current inventory. But the retro offerings also include everything from 1980s acid-washed denim and 1970s floral peasant gowns to 1940s novelty print dresses. There’s also new clothing, shoes and accessories that only look vintage, and a stable of menswear. Funky Monkey’s costume assortment goes far beyond the typical drugstore pirate-in-a-bag (though you’ll find that, too): think vintage ballet costumes, Mardi Gras krewe member tunics and sequined belly dancer garb. All year long, placid Styrofoam heads gaze down at the merchandise from their top-shelf perches, each topped with a rainbow-hued wig. The mishmash of vintage, new and costume items might seem eccentric anywhere else, but in New Orleans, where a costume collection occupies a sizable part of any New Orleanian’s closet, it’s a source of inspiration.

934 Royal St., 525-4343; www.fifimahonys.com @fifimahonys Staffed by a platoon of pastel-haired beauties who joke about being bordello co-workers in a former life, this glitter-dusted shop in a 19th-century French Quarter townhouse is home to a fantastic assortment of wigs ranging from sleek, everyday bobs (favored by customers with thinning tresses or bad hair days) to towering Technicolor bouffants festooned with mums, peacock feathers or the occasional unicorn horn. The hairpieces make ideal cornerstones for show-stopping costumes — but should the wig inventory somehow fail to inspire, custom creations are limited only by customers’ imaginations (past orders range from a red Queen of Hearts bouffant to a Marie Antoinette-esque ’do topped with a miniature ship). The staff is happy to share tricks of the trade when it comes to properly wearing wigs and provides customers with equally over-the-top nails, hair, lashes and lips: the boutique also houses a hair and nail salon and offers a signature cosmetics line and fantastic accessories designed by locals.

Citywide; www.shop.rouses.com @rousesmarkets “You’re either local or you’re not” is a motto at Rouses, which has kept that credo in mind since its genesis in 1923 as a company that provided Louisiana produce to stores all over the country. The first Rouses grocery store opened in 1960 and the company moved into the New Orleans area in 2007 (it opened stores in Covington, Slidell and Mandeville a few years earlier). The Rouse family has focused on Louisiana-produced goods for three generations, and it also offers a wide selection of foods, beer and wine from all over the world.

EXTERIOR DESIGNS, INC GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > AUGUST 26 > 2014

BEVERLY KATZ | Original New Orleans Courtyard/Pool Designer

Citywide; www.fleurtygirl.net @fleurtygirl With her signature flame-red hair and permagrin, Fleurty Girl owner Lauren Thom has become a local celebrity by putting other New Orleans icons on T-shirts. Thom launched her T-shirt business in 2009. Five years and one tussle with the NFL later, Thom’s business has expanded to five locations offering T-shirts, accessories and enough black-and-gold gear to outfit a Who Dat army. But Fleurty Girl’s charitable donations are what set the brand apart. When there’s a crisis in southeast Louisiana, whether it be the BP oil disaster or a Hubig’s pie factory fire, Thomas designs a T-shirt to help raise funds. The New Orleans native’s passion is for her city, as a scroll through her Twitter feed will reveal (right now it’s full of shoutouts to the New Orleans Saints, Sen. Mary Landrieu and the Red Dress Run). The original Fleurty Girl loves New Orleans, and New Orleans evidently loves her back.

BEST LOCALLY OWNED LINGERIE SHOP 1. Trashy Diva Lingerie

831 Chartres St., (504) 522-8861; 2044 Magazine St., (504) 522-5686; www.trashydiva.com @trashydiva When Trashy Diva owner Candice Gwinn launched her vintage clothing boutique on Decatur Street in 1996, it’s unlikely she or anyone else predicted the empire it would spawn. Seven Trashy Diva boutiques now dot the New Orleans landscape, outfitting local women and shoppers from around the world with vibrant, retro-inspired frocks. The perfect underpinnings for achieving a vintage, wasp-waist look reside at Trashy Diva’s specialty lingerie shop: custom steel-boned corsets, frilly petticoats, pin-up inspired bra and panty sets and thigh-high pantyhose, to name a few. The stores also host after-hours bachelorette parties and birthday parties with cupcakes, Champagne and burlesque instruction, and women can get fitted for a bra there. Though Trashy Diva’s selection skews more toward theatrical ’40s and ’50s glam (there are more pasties than you can shake a tassel at) than neutral basics designed to disappear under a T-shirt, we suspect that’s precisely why you voted it No. 1.

@karenswensen Last year’s Top 3 in this category were (in order) Norman Robinson, Swensen and Angela Hill. Robinson and Hill both retired from the anchor desk in the last year and Swensen ascended to the top spot. Swensen started at WWL-TV in 1993 as a producer before becoming a reporter and anchor and moved on to a Boston news job in 2006, but she returned to New Orleans in 2011 to anchor the station’s 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. newscasts. After her husband was diagnosed with kidney cancer, Swensen formed an organization called Life’s About Change! (www. lifesaboutchange.com to raise money for people with cancer and their families. In June, Swensen co-hosted an hour of the Today show with her best friend, former WWL anchor Hoda Kotb, and when Today wasn’t shown in the New Orleans market (WDSU-TV, which airs Today explained it had a policy of not promoting anchors on other stations), it created a minor online furor with New Orleanians angry that they weren’t able to watch Swensen’s big moment on national TV.

MUSIC LISTINGS PAGE 117

Before forming Bishop Allen in 2002, Justin Rice did stints with the Pissed-Officers and Depeche Mode. Not that one. “The other Depeche Mode seemed long gone at the time,” Rice wrote in a recent guest blog for Under the Radar, “so we figured the name was up for grabs.” The Pissed-Officers surrendered their badges more than a decade ago, but the smart-ass Harvard University punks did open Bishop Allen for Yo La Tengo — accidentally, from the corner of AUG a room in which YLT was sound-checking. (Rice’s 9 p.m. Thursday review: “Ira [Kaplan] stepped up to the mic and said, The BEATnik, ‘Well ... that was interesting.’”) His current outfit, 1638 Clio St. whose third album Lights Out (Dead Oceans) ended five years of radio silence, is informed more by the ethos than the form: After taking the piss on 2009’s over-considered, ticklish Grrr… — an all-feathers Andrew Bird hatchling that fell out of the nest — Bishop Allen shows up and takes off, spinning its most satisfying pop since its grueling 2006 cycle of issuing an EP every month. The highlights of that music calendar became second LP The Broken String, and the band is back in greatest-hits mode here — only now with five annals from which to cull. First singles (and first two tracks) “Start Again” and “Why I Had to Go” risk top-heaviness for front-loaded impact, Rice and wife Darbie Nowatka melding into yin-yang twins a la Yo La Tengo or Mates of State. Subtropical simmer “Crows” tries siphoning from Paul Simon’s Vampire Weekend-desiccated Graceland, but that only lasts for one song; “No Conditions” and “Shadow,” a killer Queen pep talk and Ray Davies after-sunset devotional, are the things that linger. It’s where charm meets school, or music for the masses with glasses. Jesse Marchand opens. Tickets $8-$10. — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

Land Ho! Hollywood doesn’t make many movies about older people. Rightly or not, studio executives Directed by Martha tend to believe that only young and beautiful Stephens and Aaron Katz stars attract the all-important youth demoStarring Earl Lynn Nelson graphic to theaters. But what about the indie and Paul Eenhoorn film world, which is full of artists who want to be above the concerns of the marketplace? Limited release It’s hard to imagine a better source for original stories than the largely untapped world of senior citizens. For proof, look no further than co-writers and directors Martha Stephens’ and Aaron Katz’s Land Ho!, a spirited indie road movie about two aging men, Mitch (Earl Lynn Nelson) and Colin (Paul Eenhoorn), who go on an Icelandic adventure. The film starts on a winning note just by embracing seniors as a worthy topic. Nelson, 72, is second cousin to filmmaker Stephens and a real-life New Orleans-based surgeon (which also describes his character in Land Ho!), whose bountiful and bawdy personality inspired Stephens’ original idea for the film (“Earl Lynn in Iceland!”). Nelson and Australian actor Eenhoorn are appealing and believable as old friends with sharp differences who enjoy and tolerate each other in equal measure. Mitch and Colin go camping, get stoned, flirt with much younger women and visit an urban art gallery. (The actors’ improvised and contrasting interpretations of paintings are a highlight of the film.) Shot in 18 days and edited in six weeks, Land Ho! makes a virtue of its modest scale and limited ambition. It’s a simple story about finding oneself even when it feels like it might be too late. The ancient Icelandic landscape is stunning, and its timelessness supports the story’s themes. But the film starts to run out of gas before it ends. There are too many scenes of spry, frolicking codgers spontaneously dancing in the great outdoors. By the time we get to a second hearing of Big Country’s eponymous 1980s anthem, the film has worn out its welcome. Imperfections aside, Land Ho! makes a strong case for more movies about people of a certain age. We’ll all get there eventually if we’re lucky. — KEN KORMAN

Kink

An 80-minute documentary about Kink AUG Kink.com, the world’s leading 7:30 p.m. daily (9:30 p.m. Mon.) purveyor of BDSM videos (bondZeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary age, dominance and submission, Arts Center, 1618 Oretha Cassado-masochism, etc.), Kink is intended for general audiences tle Haley Blvd. unfamiliar with this subset of (504) 352-1150 the estimated $13 billion-a-year www.zeitgeistinc.net internet porn industry. But that doesn’t make it easy to watch. We meet film directors, assistants and actors, who are not allowed to perform unless they enjoy the depicted activities — unlike other kinds of porn, faking of pleasure is not allowed. Almost all of the participants espouse an admirable live-and-let-live perspective. But the on-set footage shows more than some of us will ever want to see, including extended torture scenes (elements of which are faked) and brief snippets of full-on pornography. It’s not for the faint of heart. Directed by Cristina Voros and produced by James Franco, Kink doesn’t attempt to explain why people are aroused by graphic scenes of brutality — at least in BDSM’s most extreme forms — beyond what the interview subjects are willing to reveal of themselves. By the end of the film, it seems that some things are better left unexplained. — KEN KORMAN

For city dwellers, nothing is more ordinary than automobile tires. But if new tires suggest a smooth ride into the future, the abandoned tires that litter distressed neighborhoods symbolize blight, and nobody wants them — except Chakaia Booker, who makes them into mysterious artworks. Evoking tribal African sculpture and the twisted viscera of modern industrial devices, the works hint at art history and science fiction. Mixed Messages is a mass of inky, tangled treads and tire walls topped with a bulbous headlike form looming over serpentine tentacles slithering down the pedestal on which it rests, and it resembles the sort of sea monster Jules Verne might have concocted after a prescient nightmare about the BP oil disaster. In Privilege of Eating, swirls of shredded tires coagulate like barnacles with junk and shovels protruding from within, suggesting strange forces that must be propitiated. Color of Hope (detail pictured), her 14-foot-wide wall sculpture of wildly looping, sliced and diced tires, is both monumental and baroque and evokes the evolution of an industry that began innocently as sap oozing from rubber trees in the jungle only to be transformed by the double-edged demon of technology into all the insidious things that serve and enslave us. In Booker’s hands, their animistic qualities are expressed as contemporary spirit fetishes, forces available for good or evil but which must never be taken for granted. Katherine Taylor’s modestly scaled porcelain sculptures initially look quite innocent and domestic. Look again and her series of ambiguous black-and-white ovoids seem to relate symbiotically — not just to each other but also to Booker’s Afro-futurist works in the next room. Like ceramic blobs inscribed with spirals and grids, their forms seem to writhe and wrestle with each other as if the moves of the Pilobolus dance troupe had somehow been rendered in porcelain. Organized by Tulane University’s Jeremy Jernegan, the two shows, viewed together, are wonderfully surprising and provocative. — D. ERIC BOOKHARDT

I would have liked visual artist Anne Stackel to have been better integrated into the overall structure. For most of the show, Stackel worked with her back to the audience while painting a landscape inspired by Fettuccine. The audience learned a little about Stackel through a short bit at the end, but by nature, the act of painting doesn’t allow much chance for the artist to connect with the other performers or audience. Because the event is not rehearsed, it’s not surprising there were some shaky moments. I liked that element of risk. Early stages of the creative process are not about refinement; they’re focused on generating ideas and themes to be explored further — or left on the cutting room floor. The piece lasted just under an hour, and it ended at an appropriate place. The Fourth Circle felt inspired, and it was interesting to see the participants work together to create something unique. Artistic communities thrive on collaboration and The Fourth Circle shows how artists from different disciplines can relate to one another. — TYLER GILLESPIE

With most shows, the audience only sees the final product. The Fourth Circle, presented recently by Dane Rhodes and DaDa Productions at Mid-City Theatre, not only tries to expose the creative process, it demands spontaneous improvisation from its artists. We see the brains at work behind the beauty. Four performers — a singer, musician, dancer and visual artist — share the stage and collaborate on the creation of original works, both performance and on canvas. Their inspiration comes from a short film, which they and the audience view at the beginning of the performance. At the Aug. 15 Fourth Circle, Shanna Forrestall screened Fettuccine ... A Love Affair, a three-minute, black-and-white silent movie. Fettuccine features a woman who has a saucy interest in noodles, and it combines food, humor and sex. Accompanied on piano by Harry Mayronne, singer Dorian Rush improvised song lyrics, including “Food can love me,” based on the opening short. Rush’s bluesy voice set the mood, and the singer/actress is perfect for this type of show, because her quick wit kept things moving. She easily went from singing about longing for food to well-timed jokes: “My mom was a chef, and I have the body to prove it.” While Rush and Mayronne improvised a soundtrack, dancer Tara Brewer provided movement. At first I was unsure how Brewer’s dancing would work with Rush and Mayronne, but she matched them with both physical and emotional energy and used the whole stage. These performers improvised well together and Rush and Brewer’s back-and-forths were the strongest moments.

EVENT LISTINGS WORDS

Clayton DeleryEdwards signs The Up Stairs Lounge Arson

Last year marked the 40th anniversary of the fire at the UpStairs Lounge, an arson fire that blazed through a second-floor French Quarter bar in less than 20 minutes and ultimately killed 32 people, most of them gay men. It’s the deadliest fire in New Orleans history and it was reported on national news broadcasts, but no one was ever arrested or charged with a crime. Although gruesome photos of some of the victims ran in local newspapers, the fire quickly disappeared from public discussion and memory. Some of the bodies were never claimed by family members, which some people attribute Clayton Delery-Edwards signs AUG to homophobia. The Up Stairs Lounge Arson In 2011, former New Orleanian 7 p.m.-9 p.m. Saturday Johnny Townsend released his book about the victims, Let the Faubourg Marigny Art Books Faggots Burn: The Upstairs Lounge Music, 600 Frenchmen St. Fire. On the 40th anniversary, (504) 947-3700 Wayne Self’s musical Upstairs, a www.fabonfrenchmen.com fictionalized version of the event, debuted in New Orleans. Both writers credit Clayton Delery-Edwards for help with their research. Delery-Edwards completed the bulk of his book The Up Stairs Lounge Arson a few years ago but waited to find a publisher. It was released in June by McFarland & Company. Delery-Ewards is a teacher at Louisiana School for Math, Science and the Arts in Natchitoches, and his book is based on public records, published accounts and his interviews with survivors of the fire. He chronicles the fire and its aftermath, and he also examines homophobia at the time of the event. The response in New Orleans was not the galvanized gay and lesbian movement that arose in New York following the 1969 Stonewall riot, which spawned the first gay pride parade, but the fire had a strong impact and Delery-Edwards’ book is an invaluable contribution to illuminating that history. — WILL COVIELLO

6 upgrades to make your home more appealing to buyers

Tips for heating up your kitchen design without torching your budget

helpers T

f you’re putting your house on the market, you want to get a good price for your property without having to invest too much in upgrades. Making some improvements, however, can increase the appeal — and value — to prospective buyers. “In the world of real estate, it’s often necessary for sellers to spend a little on upgrades in order to achieve a satisfying home sale,” says Bethany Richmond, communications director for the Carpet & Rug Institute (www.carpet-rug.org). “Fortunately, some of the most impressive upgrades, such as new carpeting, are also affordable. Such upgrades ensure that you don’t have to spend a lot to achieve a better selling price.” Here are six simple, cost-effective upgrades to help you make a speedy sale.

2. Clean flooring — If your carpet is in great shape and doesn’t need to be replaced, having it professionally cleaned can make it look even better. A thorough professional cleaning helps lift tough soils and provides a cleaner look and fresher smell. Not only is carpet a good value, it’s healthy. People with allergies or other sensitivities are installing carpet to improve indoor air quality. Recent studies support previous findings that carpet, when effectively cleaned, traps allergens and other particles, resulting in less dust, dander and contaminants in the air. Clean all other flooring, including hardwood, laminates and tile. Buyers will appreciate a sparkling clean appearance throughout the house. 3. Repaint in neutral shades

— Fresh paint is another cost-effective upgrade. Buyers expect it, but many sellers hesitate to repaint. Covering walls in neutral colors makes a room look fresher and brighter, and gives buyers a visual “blank

slate” against which to imagine their own decor. Do the work yourself to save money.

4. Update or upgrade lighting — You may find that disco ball-

style light globe charming in your kitchen, but the average buyer doesn’t want dated or unusual lighting. Replacing lighting, especially in bathrooms and kitchens, is a cost-effective way to give a room a more up-to-date look. If your fixtures are fairly new, consider replacing incandescent bulbs with high-efficiency options such as CFLs or LEDs. Although they’re more expensive to purchase, they last years longer — a selling point for buyers who will reap the value of not having to replace bulbs any time in the near future.

5. Install new faucets — A highend faucet can completely change the look and useability of a kitchen or bathroom. In terms of cost versus value, an upgraded faucet, such as pull-out or touch-free styles, can dramatically increase the perceived value of the house for a relatively modest investment. An upgraded faucet is a thoughtful touch that will set your home apart in buyers minds. 6. Replace hardware throughout the house — You may already have

thought of upgrading kitchen cabinet knobs and drawer pulls, but have you upgraded hardware in your bathroom or on the front door? These seemingly small items have a major impact on the overall visual effect of a home. In desirable rooms such as kitchens and baths, designer hardware can elevate the entire look of the room. Upgraded door hardware also ensures buyers have a positive first impression.

Countertops — The addition of new countertops, which are an integral part of your kitchen space, can easily become the priciest part of the remodeling project. Homeowners who like how granite and real stone look should seek a durable and affordable alternative that helps them achieve the design they desire on their budget. An alternative is choosing laminate countertops that mimic the beauty and strength of stone materials at a fraction of the cost. Backsplash — A way to add a sleek, modern touch to your kitchen is adding a new backsplash. Typically made from ceramic, glass or stainless steel tiles, a backsplash can provide an understated change or a pop of color to the room. Compared to other remodeling projects, installing a backsplash is quick and easy. Hardware — Did you know you can refresh the look of your whole kitchen for as little as $50? If the hardware on your kitchen drawers or cabinets looks old or out of fashion, buy new ones at your local hardware store. Replace old, brushed stainless or gold knobs and pulls with on-trend styles offered in pewter or bronze. Porcelain tile flooring — If you want the look of stone flooring without the hefty investment, porcelain tile may be an answer. This sturdy, chip-resistant surface is easy on the wallet and can provide long-lasting beauty. To make the most from your remodeling budget, do some research to find the best alternatives at the lowest prices.

1. Replace carpet — New carpet has a high ratio of value to cost. It substantially increases perceived value for homebuyers without requiring sellers to spend a bundle. “Even less expensive carpet styles will freshen the look of a room and prepare it for sale,” Richmond says.

Updating light fixtures is a simple and inexpensive way to change the ambience of a room.

he kitchen is a great place to start when updating a house, whether to make it more appealing to homebuyers — remodeled kitchens can substantially increase the value of a home — or more comfortable Laminate for yourself. countertops When approaching what are durable could be an expensive alternatives undertaking, many to granite homeowners seek ways and stone to add modern touches, — and are convenience and luxury a lot less without breaking expensive. the bank. “Whether you want to splurge on cabinets, countertops, appliances or floors, homeowners are finding they really can have the kitchen they’ve always wanted by doing their research and learning about the many high-quality yet cost-effective alternatives that exist in home remodeling,” says Trisha Schmitt, vice president of VT Industries (vtindustries.com), which manufactures architectural wood doors and countertops. Here are some ideas for updating a kitchen on a budget — and getting the most out of your remodeling dollars.

AS YOU START LOOKING 1. Don’t be a stranger at networking meetings, industry events, community gatherings, and opportunities to meet others who may be able to give you a heads up on a job opening. 2. Don’t burn any bridges at your current job or engage in badmouthing your current employer. Your reputation will precede you and nobody likes a negative person or gossip. 3. Don’t forget to update all of your social media profiles (particularly LinkedIn), and don’t neglect to Google yourself and, if possible, work on “cleaning up” your digital image. AS YOU PREPARE YOUR RÉSUMÉ 1. Don’t limit your résumé to one page by shrinking the typeface down. Two pages is fine. Don’t forget to proofread your résumé for any typos and mistakes. 2. Don’t simply put your position descriptions for each job you’ve held. Add the things you did that were above and beyond, or accomplishments… and when possible, be specific. 3. Don’t get too fancy with your résumé by adding unusual fonts, loud colors and graphics, photos of yourself, or using colorful paper (white, light grey, or light beige are fine). AS YOU START JOB SEARCHING 1. Don’t just post your résumé onto a few job boards or websites and wait for your phone to ring with offers of employment. 2. Don’t rely totally on job ads and respond to them. When you do that, you are following the herd and you won’t stand out. 3. Don’t be afraid to size up the possible companies you’d like to work for, do research on them, find out some key people who work there, and politely reach out to them for advice. AS YOU BEGIN INTERVIEWING 1. Don’t put a stupid, hip, or immature sounding message on your phone. Likewise, don’t use a questionable email address that looks unprofessional. 2. Don’t ask for the earliest or first interview time that is available, when given a choice. All studies show the later in the process you interview, the better your chances. 3. Don’t answer interview questions with generalities. Use specific examples of actual projects and improvements you have completed when possible AFTER YOUR INTERVIEW 1. Don’t forget to get the contact information or card of each person who interviewed you and send a tasteful Thank You note within 24 hours. 2. Don’t be shy about following up in a reasonable time after the interview to courteously check on the job. This is another chance to keep your name and good impression in the mix. 3. Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket. Assume you may not get the position and continue your search, realizing that every interview is great practice.
