@PerrynKeys ty I am terrified but optimistic

@saltylikealick Dang so fancy!!

@saltylikealick Wait they’re not doing the reception on the batture? That’s wild. That tent has a custom bar and it’s filled with greenery and chandeliers all over the ceiling.

@Kristine_Froeba Yeah they lit up the levee and built temporary stairways??

Like are you kidding me

Someone who has time plz find out who’s having a wedding on the Algiers Point batture

Overheard from a trio of women at my Algiers Point coffeeshop: “They just want us to stop existing.”

Vibes at Rep Steve Scalise’s party were prettttty high. There’s a plane on a nearby tarmac waiting to take him to Mar a Lago in anticipation of a Trump win, a staffer tells me.

Yes, reader, I did get the charbroiled oysters.

It’s election night, and I’m at Steve Scalise’s party at Drago’s. He’s not expected ‘til later but that didn’t stop me from scoping the menu bc every story is a food story at heart!!

Algiers Point Halloween remains undefeated.

@rudekaty23 Arthur Hardy kinda owns Mardi Gras as his personal brand tho

Classic me, getting the homework done early

Walking around downtown and I just think that if my personal brand ever compelled people to dress like disco balls if they were gonna be in my presence, I’d feel really excellent about that.

lol and a French Quarter restaurant manager tells me they did 30% better than their goal in receipts last night. Swifities are spending!!

@nolamaven woof! honestly I just got street parking and i'm going to just refresh it all day on the app. I knew what I was doing when I came down here, but I just think being downtown with all the energy is pretty fun. 😅

@AnnMLipton tbh that's so sweet

Just tried to park in my regular $12/day parking lot downtown and it’s $84 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

If anyone thinks you can WFH with a toddler, let me introduce you to my 18 month old who I had to run interference on today when she tried to play with a stranger’s laptop while we were at an actual playground.
