Why do you love living in New Orleans? New Orleans has a built-in social and cultural calendar that makes almost every part of the year exciting and worth looking forward to. My dad used to say "Only boring people get bored," and if you're bored in New Orleans…well… What is the most eccentric thing you love about New Orleans? I love that the cemeteries are not only places to bury and honor the dead but are also part of the architectural and artistic landscape.

Best restaurant for outdoor dining? N7 – It reminds me of the cafes I used to frequent during my time in Bordeaux; any place that can summon memories of my travels is a place I want to go to. Plus, they have the best mussels I've ever had!

Favorite place to see live music? Fritzel's European Jazz Pub

Favorite LBGTQ+ Bar? Bourbon Pub Parade

Favorite neighborhood bar? Delachaise Wine Bar – I love a wine bar that doesn't take itself too seriously. They have a great selection of wine and small bites but with décor that welcomes comfort and a "come as you are" attitude.

Favorite upscale restaurant? Restaurant R'evolution – From the service to the atmosphere, you just can't beat this place! PRO TIP: Order the Future Ball cocktail and nurse that baby throughout your whole dinner!

Favorite place to find a costume? Miss Claudia's
