weareconstance: Thanks for the good words and the feature. Catalogue is an art map for New Orleans, a city full of beguiling little galleries, where everything feels like it could be just around the corner. There’s no city better to wander around in — any little side-street, hole-in-the-wall could be the best po-boy you ever had, and any little art gallery can pull you in for much longer than intended, but sometimes it’s nice to have a guide (and a way back). And for cultural bonus points, Catalogue has consciously democratized the New Orleans gallery scene, listing everyone equally, including the off-the-radar, out of the art district places that are sure to suck you in for whole afternoons. It’s also very pretty and will be updated every few months, so feel free to brag to your friend on how up-to-date you are on basically everything. — Meaghan O.  View Larger

Nearly 10,000 brave New Orleanians took to the streets to run with the Big Easy Rollerbulls. Glad I was in that number.

Dear readers, Both Constance and InvadeNOLA are quality both in concept, coverage and design. If in need of an insider source on what’s going on in New Orleans arts and culture (and abroad) these are places to go. Also, don’t lump these in with hipsters simply 5 years behind Williamsburg. Anyone who says that (which I’ve heard) hasn’t taken the time to really read or look at what they’re doing which is quite smart and goes beyond those limitations and redundancies.

Dear readers,

Both Constance and InvadeNOLA are quality both in concept, coverage and design. If in need of an insider source on what’s going on in New Orleans arts and culture (and abroad) these are places to go. Also, don’t lump these in with hipsters simply 5 years behind Williamsburg. Anyone who says that (which I’ve heard) hasn’t taken the time to really read or look at what they’re doing which is quite smart and goes beyond those limitations and redundancies.

Sincerely,
