Farmer's Market!
You can get your day started off right with a trip to the Farmer's Market! Visit the Crescent City's Farmer's Market at University Square (200 Broadway) from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm for the freshest veggies, fruits and seafood. Today for the Green Plate Special Chef Lisa Barbato will be there to preview her soon to open café, Rivista. Look for it on Magazine Street in March. Until then, enjoy Lisa's themed lunches all month long! This week, Lisa is taking us on a taste adventure through Mexico this week! For a hot soup, give some Posole a try, or grab a bowl of vegan tortilla soup to go. She will also feature Yucca salad with cabbage slaw, and green chicken enchiladas. For dessert, tres leches cake is perfectly sweet and utterly delightful.....yum!

Musical Movie Fun!
"Musically Speaking:" free screening of My First Name is Maceo by Markus Gruber tonight at the Antenna Gallery (3718 St. Claude Ave.) at 7:00 pm - MY FIRST NAME IS MACEO by Markus Gruber. One of the key sonic architects of funk, legendary saxophonist Maceo Parker first gained fame for his 1960s – early 1970s work with James Brown, whose impassioned shouts for a sax solo (“Maceo! Blow your horn!”) would make Parker the Godfather of Soul’s most famous sideman. After leaving James Brown, Parker joined Parliament-Funkadelic, becoming an integral part of the sound of hundreds of P-Funk recordings and concerts in the mid-late 1970s, under the helm of George Clinton and Bootsy Collins. Parker, who most recently has toured with Prince’s band, will be playing locallyl at Tipitina’s on February 28, two days after the screening of this documentary.
MUSICALLY SPEAKING is a series of music-themed movie and documentary screenings, curated/hosted by DJ Soul Sister, and co-presented by Press Street, Charitable Film Network, WWOZ FM, and the N.O. African American Museum. Free admission and refreshments. Contact info@press-street.com
Good Music Tonight!
More fun on St. Claude Avenue! Tonight it's the Hi-Ho Songwriter Gumbo at the Hi-Ho Lounge (2239 St. Claude). Enjoy this community singer/songwriter showcase - more than an open mic, this weekly Tuesday event will provide a forum for songwriters to share their work and create community and opportunity for themselves and their peers. Each performer will have time for 3 songs and hopefully the evening will conclude with some jamming and collaboration. Tonight features Ashley Beach and Skogan. The show starts at 9:00 pm. Come play or just enjoy! Support you local Singer/Songwriter Scene!
