Tulane Shakespeare opens its 25th season with All’s Well That Ends Well

BY WILL COVIELLO

Bernstein at 100

SHAKESPEARE’S WORKS generally

are separated into two categories: comedies and tragedies. There isn’t an empowerment section of his works.

But All’s Well That Ends Well offers a case for re-examination.

Helena, its heroine, explains her outlook, “Our remedies in ourselves oft do lie.”

She’s of a lower class than Bertram, the man she loves. She also has no illusions about the young lord. He’s a “notorious liar,” she says. But she pursues his affection.

All’s Well That Ends Well opens the 25th season of the New Orleans Shakespeare Festival at Tulane June 1-17. It’s the festival’s first production of the play, which is one of a few Shakespearean works built around a woman character.

“One of the first things that caught my attention in the play is what a strong, resourceful, perceptive female lead it has,” says director Amy Boyce Holtcamp, who moved to New Orleans after she directed Julius Caesar for the company in 2011. “She’s essentially a doctor. A woman character who is a proficient doctor in a play from hundreds of years ago is exciting.”

All’s Well That Ends Well could be called All’s Fair in Love and War given Bertram’s impossible demands and the ruses and trickery employed throughout. Helena reveals her interest in Bertram to his mother, the Countess.

Bertram is more interested in going to France, where he becomes an attendant to the King. Helena follows, in part to help the King, who is ill. The daughter of a renowned doctor, Helena has learned to practice medicine and offers to heal the King. She asks in exchange that if he recovers she be allowed to choose her husband. The King recuperates and grants her wish.

Bertram doesn’t like the idea but can’t defy the King. Instead, he agrees as

SAT.-SUN. JUNE 2-3 | Leslie Castay, Liz Argus, John Michael Haas, Polanco Jones Jr. and others salute Leonard Bernstein on the 100th anniversary of his birth with “Tonight,” “Somewhere,” “Cool,” “Glitter and Be Gay” and “New York, New York” and songs from Broadway shows including West Side Story, On the Town and others. At 8 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at Tulane University’s Dixon Hall.

Lost Bayou Ramblers long as Helena meets a few of his seemingly impossible demands. But before she even can try, he flees to join a war in Tuscany, where he spends much of his time seducing virgins.

Helena must figure out a way to be with him.

“It’s really an inversion of a typical play in which the two lovers are from the opposite sides of the track and the world is against them,” Holtcamp says.

“This flips that. The whole community is totally on her side. The King, the Countess, Bertram’s mother, everyone is like, ‘She’s smart, she’s pretty, why don’t you want her?’”

The comedy is grounded in Bertram’s dogged disinterest in Helena and her determination to overcome all the obstacles he throws in her way.

There also are devious interlopers who hope good fortune falls their way and a stream of bawdy metaphors about love and war.

Holtcamp has given the production a patina of the 1940s with an air of fairytale-ish love from the era’s big band music and popular entertainment.

The 2018 season also includes Macbeth, a staged reading of King Lear, a cabaret performance created

by Leslie Castay called The Food of Love and an improvised version of

Parolles (A.J. Allegra, blindfolded) is caught in a lie in All’s Well That Ends Well.

Mitch Landrieu received

the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award last week from Caroline Kennedy and her son Jack Schlossberg for his role in removing four Confederate-era monuments last year. Previous recipients of the award include former Presidents George H.W. Bush and Barack Obama, civil rights leader John Lewis and U.S. Sen. John McCain. The award was given at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Massachusetts.

Destini Warner and Basiel Williams were this year’s

recipients of the Jack Fielkow Scholarship Program, which is awarded to local high school students based on “academic achievement, community participation, leadership skills and financial need.” Warner, a graduate of Warren Easton High School, will attend Xavier University; Williams, who will graduate from Ponchatoula High School, has won a baseball scholarship to Mississippi State University where he plans to study engineering. Each will receive $2,000.

The New Orleans Saints

mistakenly emailed season ticket offers last week to many fans who weren’t even on the team’s waiting list. To the team’s credit, the error quickly was corrected — but it had to be disappointing to many fans of the Black and Gold who thought they’d somehow earned a fast pass to the coveted sideline tickets.

N.O. COUNCIL BARS MOST NEW, RENEWED SHORT-TERM RENTALS — FOR NOW

A map of STRs and STR applications in New Orleans.

The New Orleans City Council has banned new whole-home shortterm rentals in residential neighborhoods — temporarily — until new rules are drawn up at City Hall.

The motions “press pause” on one of the most prolific types of rentals — the temporary STRs with a 90-day limit, which encompass half of all 4,500 STRs on platforms like Airbnb — “until we tailor regulations to meet the needs of the city of New Orleans,” said District C Councilwoman Kristin Gisleson Palmer, who authored the motions. If existing temporary permits expire during the moratorium, they can’t be renewed. The new restrictions are effective immediately and will remain in effect up to nine months.

The motions sparked lengthy debate at the first full meeting of the new City Council May 24. Last week’s debate tracked previous discussions of the city’s STR regulations, which went into effect last year.

“This legislation is a first step towards revising and improving the STR regulations to restore and preserve the residential fabric in historic areas of the city,” Palmer said in a statement.

The City Council unanimously approved three motions. One creates an interim zoning district (IZD) prohibiting new and renewed STR licenses for certain types of rentals, another prohibits some new commercial STRs and a third redirects the New Orleans City Planning Commission (CPC) to broaden its ongoing study of the city’s STR laws in the coming months. The council directed the CPC to look at New Orleans’ laws and STR presence compared to similarly sized cities such as Austin, Texas, Charleston, South Carolina, Nashville, Tennessee and Savannah, Georgia and to report whether those cities’ laws could work in New Orleans. The study also will review STRs’ contributions to the city’s affordable housing fund as well as data-sharing and enforcement mechanisms.

The most far-reaching council action prohibits new and renewed “temporary” STRs, which typically are whole-home rentals in locations not occupied by the owners, many of whom live out of town.

This prohibition includes listings in Historic Core, Historic Urban, the CBD and Mixed Use 1 and 2 zoning districts. That effectively excludes new or renewed whole-home STRs in most of Gentilly, Lakeview, New Orleans East and suburban parts of Algiers.

The CPC will hold a public meeting by July 23 and will submit its report by Sept. 21.

May 21 found that more than half of respondents were in favor of a statewide strike to compel discussions of salary increases and additional resources for educators. A majority of the elementary, middle and high school teachers polled also supported the idea of a mass demonstration at the Louisiana State Capitol Building, and about as many (59 percent) said they’d back a small state income tax increase to fund raises. — KAT STROMQUIST

Quote of the week “I realize why Louisiana is shaped like a boot, because we’re a kick-the-can state every time.” — State Rep. Barry Ivey, R-Central, bemoaning inaction to establish a sustainable budget by the state Legislature. Legislators met last week for the sixth special session under Gov. John Bel Edwards, once again attempting to find a solution to a $648 million budget hole that will open at the beginning of the state’s fiscal year on July 1.

Council members, tourism leaders address health care for service workers At a news conference that was thin on specifics but signaled support for rank-and-file workers in the city’s most prominent industry, New Orleans City Council President Jason Williams issued a “clarion call” for health care for local hospitality workers.

Joined by New Orleans Tourism Marketing Commission (NOTMC) President Mark Romig, Cheryl Teamer of New Orleans & Company and Districts B and C Council members Jay Banks and Kristin Gisleson Palmer, Williams pledged to develop a plan to provide cost-accessible health care services for hospitality workers and to help them better share in the bounty of the New Orleans tourism industry.

While the media event, described as a “first step,” revealed little about concrete programs, it did suggest an agenda for three members of the newly inaugurated New Orleans City Council. It also added to the public record an indisputable acknowledgement by both civic and business leaders of the struggles of the city’s 88,000 hospitality workers, who feel squeezed by an increased cost of living and scant benefits in many workplaces.

“For the first 300 years of this city’s history, hospitality has looked one way,” Williams said. “It has to look different for our next 300 years.” He called workers the “backbone” of the tourism industry, saying they’re “the person [tourists] see first, last and in the middle” of visits to New Orleans.

Banks and Palmer, whose districts include tourism-heavy downtown, joined the conference to line up behind Williams’ call. Palmer said she wants to see “thoughtful policies” that will allow workers to better access health care, transportation and affordable housing. Banks referred to tax revenues generated through tourism, saying those dollars are what support the city. “The people that make that happen have to be part of the equation,” he said.

The news conference followed a demonstration earlier this month

during which hospitality workers and their supporters appeared before the NOTMC board to demand a free health care clinic for industry workers, paid for by the city’s hotel occupancy tax. Workers said low wages often prevent them from being able to purchase health insurance or visit a doctor.

Romig reiterated his appreciation for last week’s protest on behalf of the NOTMC board. He said his organization, which markets the city as a tourism destination, will work with the New Orleans City Council and Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s office to maintain New Orleans as “culturally rich and diverse” while “ensur[ing] our community is the fair community that we deserve.”

In a brief interview, Williams and Romig suggested the possibility of partnerships with medical providers at Louisiana State University, Tulane University and University Medical Center clinics, as well as working to ensure that community members are aware of existing service options.

Williams declined to provide Gambit with details about a timeline for any projects related to this initiative or how future projects might be funded, saying he was still in the process of gathering information and listening to stakeholders.

Court Watch NOLA report: recorded calls, few interpreters Recording phone calls, a lack of language interpreters, guilty pleas without an attorney present — Court Watch NOLA’s annual report reviewing New Orleans’ court system, which was released last week, sheds light on a criminal justice system that’s both struggling to keep up with its cases and making cases more difficult for defendants.

The group collected data from volunteers who witnessed roughly 800 court sessions at criminal, magistrate and municipal courts in 2017.

The report found that in nearly half of all Municipal Court sessions observed by Court Watch NOLA volunteers, defendants pleaded guilty without a defense attorney present. Possession of marijuana was the most common offense for a guilty plea.

New Orleans Magistrate Court requested an interpreter for only 72 percent of cases where an interpreter was needed, but in 87 percent of those cases a judge ruled without an interpreter. In Criminal District Court, an interpreter was needed in 13 percent of the cases observed; an interpreter arrived within an hour of the request in 85 percent of those cases, but if they didn’t arrive, judges postponed the case to a different time.

This year’s report made international headlines for its revelation that phone calls at the local jail were shared with the New Orleans District Attorney’s Office, potentially violat-

ing attorney-client privilege. Court Watch NOLA requested Orleans Parish Prison (OPP) stop recording those calls, after which OPP set up a system allowing nonrecorded calls to attorneys’ landlines. Calls to attorneys’ cellphones continue to be recorded. Court Watch NOLA surveyed jails across the U.S. and found that 83 percent “allow attorneys access to unmonitored attorney-client phone calls, none of them distinguished between when an attorney used a cellphone or a landline.”

Report: More than half of New Orleans renters ‘rent-burdened’ More than half of New Orleans residents are renters. Among those 181,400 people, according to a recent report from National Equity Atlas, roughly 60 percent are “rent-burdened,” spending 30 percent or more of their income on housing.

Women are disproportionately impacted by housing costs — 72 percent of women of color and 49 percent of white women spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing.

The report echoes local data. According to the Greater New Orleans Housing Alliance (GNOHA), renters statewide have faced a 19 percent increase in the cost of rent since 2011 and renters in New Orleans saw an increase of 23 percent.

If those renters paid what they could afford (less than 30 percent of their income), households would see an average savings of $7,200, according to the report.

“This study further proves what we already know to be true in New Orleans,” said Housing NOLA and GNOHA Director Andreanecia Morris. “We are at an important crossroads. We can choose to stabilize our citizens, allow them to contribute to the local economy and change the course of New Orleans’ next 300 years, or we can allow this trend to continue and undoubtedly force more of our people out of the city they call home.”

Simply super: The big game returns in 2024 New Orleans will host Super Bowl LVIII in 2024 — 11 years after the city hosted its last NFL championship.

The NFL awarded New Orleans its 11th hosting gig after a bid presentation dubbing New Orleans a neon-lit “2024/7” city.

In a statement, New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson said hosting a Super Bowl “is synonymous with New Orleans as is the legacy of my husband Tom Benson. This is a great honor and well deserved for our city as New Orleans and our Gulf South region continue to prosper in so many ways.”

Mayor LaToya Cantrell said bringing the Super Bowl to New Orleans would create a “tremendous”

economic impact — the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation measures the last New Orleans-hosted Super Bowl’s impact at $480 million, with $21 million to the state.

“So we’re talking a significant shot in the arm,” Cantrell said. “We have proven that our destination is second to none — it is special and I believe the NFL recognizes that fact. They’re not coming to New Orleans for the 11th time for no reason.”

Super Bowl XLVII in 2013 brought many things: the first large-scale glimpses of the impacts of short-term rentals in New Orleans, Beyonce singing the national anthem at a press conference, a famous blackout in the Superdome and the international press descending on the city — many for the first time since Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures.

Of course, Super Bowl (58) will fall right in the middle of Carnival season on Feb. 4. That’s 9 days before Fat Tuesday.

New ferries scheduled to arrive in June At its monthly meeting last week, the Regional Transit Authority’s (RTA) Board of Commissioners unanimously voted to elect current board member Flozell Daniels Jr. as its chairman and to begin negotiating a contract with Office of Safety and Permits head Jared Munster to serve as interim director of RTA. During his time as Office of Safety and Permits director, Munster also functioned as the city’s liaison to RTA. His interim appointment fills a position that had been vacant since September 2017 with the resignation of Greg Cook, who was executive director for less than a year. Daniels, who is president and CEO of the Foundation for Louisiana, succeeds Sharonda Williams as the board’s chair. Williams was appointed chair in 2016 but resigned this month, a few days before the inauguration of Mayor LaToya Cantrell. Daniels was appointed by then-Mayor Mitch Landrieu. The transit organization’s eight-person board includes representatives appointed by the mayor of New Orleans and the president of Jefferson Parish.

The board’s first meeting with its new chair included an update about two new ferry boats that are approaching completion. Justin Augustine III, vice president at RTA management group Transdev, described a physical inspection of the new boats, which are scheduled to be delivered in mid-June — a slight delay from their original May delivery date, which was caused by requests made by the U.S. Coast Guard for changes to stairwells and access hatches to fuel tanks.

There isn’t an exact date for the boats’ appearance on ferry routes, Augustine said, because the boats have to pass another inspection before being put into service.

COMMENTARY

THE FIRST DAY OF THE LOUISIANA LEGISLATURE’S SPECIAL SESSION

to address the state’s $648 million budget gap got off to a familiar start: It was rancorous and partisan.

One noteworthy exception: Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, and Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser, a Republican, addressed a crowd at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, stressing the need for both parties to work together to find solutions to the “fiscal cliff,” which begins July 1, after several temporary taxes roll off the books.

House Speaker Taylor Barras, a Republican, called the governor’s speech “political theater.” Richard Carbo, one of Edwards’ top aides, replied, “Makes you wonder if he listened to the speech, or if he just let their consultant write it in a crayon.

Seems childish and petty.”

Things have degenerated so badly that some Republicans are sniping at one another. State Rep. Blake Miguez, R-Erath, wondered on social media, “Did Billy Nungesser just endorsed [sic] the Governor tax and spend policies on the hardworking taxpayers of Louisiana? What a disappointment to the Republican Party of Louisiana!” To which Nungesser replied, “No, Billy Nungesser wants the state to come together and fix the problem. … Blake Miguez is a liar and the people of Louisiana know better.”

No wonder the Legislature is in its sixth special session to tackle a problem that it could — and should — have solved two years ago. Legislative comity, trust and decorum have hit rock bottom.

One thing’s clear: Despite what some Republican lawmakers and right-wing media may say, budget

P H O T O B Y D E VO N S A N D E R S / L S U MANSHIP SCHOOL NEWS SERVICE

cuts alone won’t solve the problem.

Such cuts would hit higher education and public health hardest.

Hospitals and nursing homes would close, public universities would be decimated and even more Louisiana high school grads would leave.

A temporary one-cent sales tax expires June 30. Edwards proposes keeping half of that, which is reasonable. Still, the no-tax crowd continues to balk — without identifying solutions of their own. Perhaps they should listen to state Rep. Rob Shadoin, a Republican who spoke truth when he wrote recently: “As we go into yet another special session, beware the lies that will be like this: All this governor wants to do is raise taxes and spend more money. You see, there’s a yeoman’s effort in the Capitol, specifically in the House, making sure the other side (governor) loses. I wonder what it’d be like if our leadership in the House would invest that same effort into making sure our people win!!

“What we need is to not raise taxes but to retain some of the revenue that the People’s Treasury is about to lose on June 30,” Shadoin continued. “We’re set to lose $1.4 billion; we need to retain $648 million.

Don’t get sucked into the old trite rhetoric that we have a spending problem not a revenue problem. But if you swallow that, then credit and responsibility rests smack dab on the back of the majority party in the legislature for the last 10 years.

Er, that would be the Republicans.”

Well said, Rep. Shadoin. What taxpayers really don’t need is another failed — and costly — special session.

STRs were a major issue in the citywide elections last year, and voters across the city expressed dissatisfaction with the ordinance adopted by the previous council.

The existing ordinance sets up three classes of STR permits — “accessory,” “temporary” and “commercial” — with different rules for each. By far the category creating the biggest headache for locals is the temporary classification, which covers more than half the permits issued by the city. Many of these STRs are whole homes as opposed to a spare bedroom.

STR critics say allowing wholehome rentals has led to out-of-town investors buying large swaths of historic neighborhoods, driving up property values and pricing locals out of their homes because of increased assessments. Many also complain that STRs bring transient and often disruptive visitors into quiet residential neighborhoods.

The city is supposed to enforce a 90-days annual “cap” on temporary STRs, but many locals express doubts about the efficacy of City Hall’s enforcement efforts.

On May 24, the council unanimously adopted several motions presented by District C Councilwoman Kristin Gisleson Palmer, most notably one that imposes a moratorium on temporary STR permits in many parts of town. Existing permit holders can continue to operate until their permits expire, but no new or renewed temporary permits will be issued while the moratorium is in place, Palmer says.

To implement the moratorium, the council adopted an interim zoning district that comprises large sections of town. In those sections, no new or renewed temporary permits will be allowed.

“It’s not the entire city, but it tracks the areas where we’re seeing the greatest concentration of temporary STRs,” Palmer told me after the council’s action. “Most important, there will be no new permits or renewals of existing permits for ‘temporary’ STRs, which comprise most of the whole-home rentals.

And it’s effective immediately.”

The moratorium does not affect “accessory” permit holders, Palmer says, because those are owner-oc-

cupied STRs, which generally are not perceived as a major problem.

Those STRs also do not have an annual cap.

“Commercial” STRs can continue, but the emphasis will be on upper floors of multi-story commercial buildings. Palmer said many of the downtown buildings on Canal Street that have retail shops on the first floor but little or no apparent use of the upper floors could be prime examples of how a new STR ordinance could “incentivize” redevelopment without hurting existing neighborhoods. Like the accessory permits, commercial STRs have no annual cap.

The key to successful regulation of commercial STRs is for the council to avoid spot zoning in residential neighborhoods — turning noncommercial properties into commercial uses in order to create unlimited STRs where they clearly don’t belong.

The moratorium will remain in place for up to nine months while the City Planning Commission broadens the terms of its study of how best to regulate STRs going forward. Palmer and other council members anticipate adopting a new STR ordinance after the commission’s study.

What’s clear so far is that the existing ordinance isn’t working. The new council seems determined to do better. Time will tell.

Hey Blake, New Orleans had some great local products in the 1950s and ’60s, one of which was Sub Rosa deodorant.

What can you tell me about it? I still remember the beautiful fragrance.

JOYA

Dear Joya, Sub Rosa deodorant, available for more than 50 years, was as local a product as one could find. For many years, it was manufactured and sold by a company headquartered on Bourbon Street.

The earliest advertisement for the product I could find was from 1916. Sub Rosa was made and sold by the La Valliere company, which also produced an array of perfumes and toilet waters, talcum powder and peroxide vanishing cream. The company began as a subsidiary of Finlay, Dicks and Co., a wholesale drug company established in 1895.

According to a 1914 story in The New Orleans Item, La Valliere was incorporated as a separate company that year because of its growing popularity. At the time, both companies were headquartered at 606 Magazine St. A 1919 advertisement touted Sub Rosa deodorant cream for sale in local stores for 25 cents.

By 1926, La Valliere had more than 40 beauty products under various names, including Sub Rosa.

“It is quite natural during hot, sultry weather for the body to give off an odor which is frequently objectionable to one’s friends, even though it might not be noticed by

A laboratory in the manufacturing plant of La Valliere, which produced Sub Rosa deodorant.

the individual,” explained an August 1936 advertisement for Sub Rosa in The New Orleans States. “The woman of complete charm does not depend upon her friends to whisper to her of this odor. … She uses La Valliere Sub Rosa cream, a product which has been accepted by women of charm and refinement throughout the country for many years.” By that time, the “deodorant cream for daintiness” was being made by Specialty Products Company, located at 433 Bourbon St. Another 1936 ad encouraged visitors to come see the complete product line in the display windows of the Bourbon Street store.

In the 1940s, ads for the product, available at K&B drugstores, listed its price as 25 cents for a half-ounce jar.

In 1975, K&B sold the cream (then available in a jar or roll-on stick) for 63 cents. Louisiana Secretary of State records show Specialty Products Inc. was dissolved in 1985.

BLAKEVIEW SIXTY YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARKED THE END OF THE LINE FOR THE CITY’S FAMOUS STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. The Desire streetcar line began

in 1920 and for most of its existence traveled down Bourbon Street from Canal Street, veering left at Pauger Street before traveling down Dauphine Street to Desire Street. The push to replace streetcars with buses began in the 1940s amid complaints from some residents that streetcars were noisy, potentially damaging to property and had trouble negotiating the French Quarter’s narrow streets. The last streetcars ran on May 29, 1948 and were replaced by buses the next day. “The new bus service on the Desire line will provide approximately one-third more seats during morning and evening peak hours than the present streetcar service. Waiting time … will also be considerably reduced,” said a newspaper ad from New Orleans Public Service Inc., which operated the streetcar and bus lines. Ironically, the Desire streetcar line ended the same year that A Streetcar Named Desire, Tennessee Williams’ play set in New Orleans, won the Pulitzer Prize for drama. The play premiered on Broadway in 1947.

EATDRINK Bowl games

A pan-Asian restaurant in Riverbend

BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund A FEW YEARS AGO, it was difficult

to find restaurants specializing in ramen in New Orleans and almost impossible to find poke, the Hawaiian-inspired raw fish salad. Now the two dishes are riding a trend, and restaurants serving them are sprouting up across the city. The latest is Momo Ramen + Poke, a Riverbend restaurant that serves ramen, poke and a variety of Asian dishes — with varying degrees of success.

Ramen purists may not be wooed by the vegan version offered here, but for those looking for a plantbased take on the dish, the herby miso broth and bright green kale noodles topped with tofu, bamboo shoots, corn and sprouts is surprisingly tasty and filling. Momo’s pork belly tonkotsu broth has none of the dish’s characteristic cloudiness and milky qualities, but it still is warming and flavorful, topped with a generous wedge of pork belly.

For poke, guests travel upstairs to order at a counter, and the use of the two-story space fosters the illusion that the building houses two restaurants instead of one. Guests can pay and place their poke orders separately, which works well for grab-and-go orders.

The offerings include standard poke ingredients — rice, greens, salmon, yellowtail — and some less orthodox options, such as quinoa, grilled chicken, walnuts and cranberries. There isn’t a menu of designed poke bowls, so a creation’s success depends on the diner’s whims. When I last ate here, a bowl of salmon and yellowtail over greens and nutty brown rice dressed with a gingery cilantro sauce hit the spot.

WHERE

632 S. Carrollton Ave., (504) 218-5248; www.momoramenpoke.com

The rest of the menu attempts to cover a lot of ground, with an array of dishes falling under the pan-Asian umbrella. Restaurants that paint in broad culinary strokes without a connecting theme often run the risk of losing focus. That’s the case here, where the kitchen menu is largely hit-or-miss.

Some of the better dishes include spicy Sichuan dumplings. The delicious bundles of pork are served with sesame paste and searing chili oil, and the dish is earthy and packs several dimensions of flavor. Also good are crunchy and addictive tempura-battered Brussels sprouts.

On one visit, I found little to love in the crawfish rolls, which tasted stale.

A bowl of lifeless smashed cucumbers definitely had seen better days.

Korean-style grilled short ribs were fine on their own, but accompanying kimchi tasted well past its prime.

WHAT WORKS

spicy Sichuan dumplings, tempura Brussels sprouts, vegan ramen

At Momo Ramen + Poke, a poke bowl features shrimp, salmon, mango, edamame, seaweed and more.

P H OTO B Y C H E R Y L G E R B E R

The cozy first-floor space features wooden accents including stools fashioned like tree stumps and sultry dark red accents. The best seats in the house are on the upstairs deck overlooking Carrollton Avenue and the streetcar line.

Despite a few misfires and a menu that needs fine-tuning, the namesake dishes at Momo Ramen + Poke are safe bets. With the restaurant still in its early days, it will be interesting to see where improvements are made.

N. Carrollton Ave., 504-309-6122; www.revelcafeandbar.com), Chris and Laura McMillian’s Mid-City cocktail haunt.

Barman and co-founder of the Museum of the American Cocktail, The McMillians opened the bar in early 2016. DeBarr lives nearby and is a friend of the McMillians. After a stint at Bywater Bakery, DeBarr moved to Revel earlier in May, replacing chef Nick Vella, who left New Orleans for a job in Kansas City.

DeBarr made a name for himself serving creative fare at the Uptown wine bar The Delachaise. He later opened the French Quarter restaurant Green Goddess and then his own space, Serendipity, in the American Can building in Mid-City.

DeBarr said he has made some changes to the menu at Revel.

There will be a seasonal chilled soup and he added a few seafood salads.There’s also a Spanish-style roasted vegetable medley with chevre and pesto, a revamped cheese and charcuterie board and new desserts, DeBarr says.

Revel is open 4 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Tuesday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Crunch time CURBING MIDNIGHT MUNCHIES will get easier when Insomnia Cookies (www.insomniacookies.com) opens in Uptown later this year.

The cookie-delivery hub will open its first local store at 7527 Maple St. (the former home of Maple Street Book Shop) by late summer or early fall, according to a spokesman for the company.

The cookie delivery service was launched in 2003 by Seth Berkowitz, a University of Pennsylvania student who noticed a demand from his colleagues for a fix to latenight sweet tooth cravings. The company since has expanded to more than 100 locations across the country, including Baton Rouge.

Customers can track the status of their orders using a “cookie tracker” on the company website.

Delivery hours at most stores are 10 a.m. to 3 a.m. Monday through Friday and noon to 3 a.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Flavors include chocolate chunk, chocolate peanut butter cup, white chocolate macadamia nut, oatmeal raisin, snickerdoodle, double

chocolate mint and others. The shop also sells ice cream, cookie sandwiches and cookie cakes.

Serious bread DONG PHUONG ORIENTAL BAKERY

(14207 Chef Menteur Highway, 504-254-1568; www.dpbakeshop.com) has been ordered to pay $127,128 in back wages to 43 employees, according to a release from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division.

Investigators found that the New Orleans East bakery and restaurant violated overtime requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) by paying employees straight time for all of the hours they worked and failed to compensate them with overtime when they worked more than 40 hours in a work week. The statement said the bakery also violated FLSA record-keeping provisions by failing to keep payroll records for some employees and paying those employees cash without documentation.

“Employees who work long, hard hours to make ends meet count on being paid for every hour they work, including the time-and-onehalf the law requires when they work overtime,” Betty Campbell, the Wage and Hour Division regional administrator, said in a prepared statement. “The U.S. Department of Labor is committed to ensuring that employees receive the wages they’ve earned and that employers compete on a level playing field where everyone plays by the same rules.”

The bakery is known for the crusty French bread used in poboys and banh mi sandwiches across New Orleans. Founders De Tran and Huong Tran settled in New Orleans East and started one of the area’s first Vietnamese-run bakeries in 1982. The bakery and restaurant was among five recipients of the James Beard Foundation’s 2018 America’s Classics awards.

EAT+DRINK 3-COURSE INTERVIEW

Kellyn Queyrouze DIRECTOR, FARMERS ARTS METAIRIE MARKET THE FARMERS ARTS METAIRIE MARKET, a farm-

ers and arts market initiated by the Old Metairie Garden Club (www.oldmetairiegardenclub. com), held its inaugural market May 15. Vendors offer fresh produce, grass-fed beef and local honeys and jams as well as art and crafts. The market is 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of every month from. The next two events will be at Bayou Metairie Park (Metairie Road at Metairie Lawn Drive). Director Kellyn Queyrouze spoke to Gambit about the market.

What’s unique about the Farmers Arts Metairie Market?

QUEYROUZE: We created this market to be a little bit different than the markets that are out there already. We have the Crescent City Farmers Market, which is essentially food and some flowers, and then you have the Harrison (Avenue Marketplace), which is more crafts and music and entertainment. We wanted to combine both of those ideas into one market. So, we’ll have a lot of food vendors with local options to buy your vegetables, jams (and) honeys, but also have a place where you could come out to socialize, hear music and (have it) be a little more family-friendly.

A lot of the markets — especially the food ones — are from 9 (a.m.) to 1 (p.m.). I’m a working mom, and I can’t just leave in the middle of the day to pop over to a market, and so the idea for the 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. is that you get (people) after school and later in the day.

It’s also part of the revitalization of that Metairie Road stretch that recently was rezoned and has been coming back steadily. The hope is that people won’t just come out to the market but pop in on (one of the) restaurants on a dead Tuesday night and give some business to those local businesses.

We have had some restaurants go under in the past couple of years.

This is something that will hopefully get people out and patronizing those local restaurants.

What inspired you to get involved with a farmers market?

Q: As a child, I struggled with my weight, and then in college I real-

ized that eating organically and a high-protein diet was (what worked for me). I have children, and I wanted (a market) in my community at a time I could go. Both of my kids were pretty sick last year. They each were in the hospital several times.

Having that experience, I wanted my kids eating healthier, eating better and (to have a) healthy lifestyle. I think that when you go out to markets, it gets the kids involved in that healthy lifestyle process.

(The market) is run by the Old Metairie Garden Club, and Carmen Waring started that organization. I went to the first meeting, and that’s how this came about.

I had wanted to create a market but didn’t really have an avenue to do that.

What is the future of the market?

Q: Right now it will be the third Tuesday of every month, so the next market is set for June 19.

We’ve been given verbal permission to stay at Bayou Metairie Park for June and July. The unfortunate thing is that Bayou Metairie Park will be undergoing construction, and while we thought that we would just have to leave during the construction, we recently found out that what they’re doing will not be compatible with the market going forward. We’re exploring options with (Jefferson Parish) right now. We’re only charging the vendors $20 for the entire year of 2018, and we’re sustaining through sponsorship.

We’re an entirely volunteer (-run) organization, so we have to see how much will be charged to rent a space and see if that’s within the budget. — HELEN FREUND

It took nearly 30 years for the founding fiends of Louisiana’s indigenous sludge metal sound to re-enter the hallowed halls of Uptown New Orleans’ music institution, but Eyehategod — the genre’s influential figureheads — returns to Tipitina’s as powerful as ever. The last several years (but, truly, the last few decades) proved exceptionally painful, with vocalist Mike IX Williams’ recent kidney transplant and the death of drummer Joey LaCaze underlining the agonizing climb by a band that is enshrined in metal halls of fame but often relegated to sideshow act by the local music press, not from malice but benign neglect. It was the simmering underground that embraced an often-misunderstood genre in a jazz-worshipping city unsure what to do with a visceral behemoth of down-tuned guitars grinding ears and guts into blissed-out pulp.

Its tragedies belie the band’s seeming immortality — surviving hell only to grab its audience and bring it back with them with every loose, down-tempo riff, each one trudging toward a certain doom, invited by Williams’ piercing howl. Its sound is both primordial and eternal, ancient, worn and dust-covered but imminent within the dark corners of the present — captured on albums from 1992’s raw In the Name of the Suffering and 1996 landmark LP Dopesick to 2014’s massive, acerbic self-titled fulllength album and sprawled out among a dozen or so singles and compilations, with its ashen flag waving in concert halls around the globe. Returning from a European tour, Eyehategod is joined by Benni, Pussyrot and Abysmal Lord. Tickets $24.50. At 9 p.m. at Tipitina’s, 501 Napoleon Ave., (504) 895-8477; www.tipitinas.com.

GOING OUT ART

REVIEW The Artist Book Collection at Paper Machine

BY D. ERIC BOOKHARDT THE GHOST OF JOHANNES GUTENBERG lives in the Lower 9th Ward. The 15thcentury German inventor of movable type not only made the Bible widely available for the first time, but also everything else that has appeared in print ever since. Gutenberg’s old technology survives today in the letterpress and other labor-intensive but deeply personal forms of printing favored by artists and eccentrics of all stripes. That said, the opening in November 2017 of The Paper Machine, a 5,000-square-foot print shop devoted to hand-crafted printing on St. Claude Avenue, was unexpected. The recent grand opening of its Artist Book Collection put it all in context with a lecture

by University of Alabama professor Jeff Weddle, whose Bohemian New Orleans: The Story of the Outsider and Loujon Press describes how Jon Edgar and Louise “Gypsy Lou” Webb crafted beat poetry classics like Charles Bukowski’s first published book and their own edgy Outsider literary journal on their letterpress in the French Quarter in the 1960s.

The result of a collaboration between Atlanta’s Dashboard and local New Orleans institutions Antenna and The Southern Letterpress, the Paper Machine is housed in a two-story midcentury modern cement box transformed by Carl Joe Williams’ vivid paint scheme into a kind of Afro-pop cubist mirage. In the lobby, a whimsical two-story kinetic sculpture, Paper Machine (pictured), by Chris Deris sets the tone. Suggesting an ad hoc monument to the spirit of invention, it becomes improbably operational as gears and pulleys whir into action, ultimately yielding unique artist prints. In the rear, the fully functional printshop operated by Southern Letterpress offers an array of custom printing processes that lend themselves to the quirky needs of artists working with paper as a medium. Some vintage equipment used by the legendary Gosserand Superior Printers, which provided classic boldface posters for the old New Orleans R&B scene, lends an aura of history to this relatively new facility. The hand-crafted artist books on view in the upstairs gallery add another element to this multidimensional space. The Paper Machine, 6330 St. Claude Ave., (504) 298-6330; www.papermachine.works.
