You can also stop at Clever (right next door) for their "tasting special" - $1 off your first cocktail after attending the free wine tasting.  And be sure to stop by the Crescent City Farmer's Market and patronize local Louisiana vendors with fresh veggies, seafood and more! 

It's the Second Annual Green Light Distict Holiday Party tonight in the 2000/2100 blocks of Magazine Street.

Need a little art, culture and music? You gotta go to the show at the Ogden Southern Museum of Art (925 Camp St.) -better known as Ogden after Hours.  The concert starts up at 6:00 pm with Spencer Bohren, his music resonates with the ambience of the rivers, roads, and bayous of the American South. He has a marvelous gift for sharing his great love for America's wealth of traditional folk, blues, gospel, and country music with audiences of all ages.  Come enjoy a delicious hot toddy at the "O" bar, and remember if you're a member of the Ogden you always get in free!
