In this episode we dive into the New Orleans French Quarter Festival.  The fest takes place in April, usually over the second full weekend.  It spans four days (Thursday through Sunday), features local musicians exclusively and is completely free!  And when I say local, I mean almost all acts are from New Orleans.  A couple exceptions for Cajun and Zydeco artists who mostly come from Southwestern Louisiana.
 
Festival Dates :

2016: April 7-10
2017: April 6-9
2018: April 12-15
2019: April 11-14
2020: April 16-19
 
We cover all the essentials plus you’ll get the insider tips and lagniappe you’ve come to appreciate from Beyond Bourbon Street.  I also include things to do, see and eat beyond the fest, but still in the French Quarter.  In fact, this is one of the things that makes the French Quarter fest so much fun and so unique - it takes place among the restaurants, bars and businesses - in the community of the French Quarter. Join us for this unique insider’s perspective through the music, food, and history of the festival and the French Quarter!

In this episode we dive into the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in New Orleans.   We cover the parades and block parties, but also explore the history of the Irish in New Orleans and why we celebrate this particular holiday with so much energy.  As you’ll discover, the ‘real’ story is the impact of the Irish on New Orleans.   Learn about the Irish influence on local government, architecture, banking, the port of New Orleans, the food, and more!

Beyond Bourbon Street is the podcast where we explore the food, music, places, people and events that make New Orleans unique.  Whether you are planning a trip, currently living in New Orleans or simply wanting a taste of the Crescent City from wherever you are, you’ve come to the right place!

In this episode we trace the birth of the poor boy from the streetcar motormen strike of 1929 through today.  You’ll be introduced to Benny & Clovis Martin, former motormen themselves who created the first poor boy.

You’ll also learn how the name poor boy came into being, and why the term po-boy is not quite correct!  Along the way, we’ll explore the restaurants and people that helped the poor boy become the New Orleans icon it is today.  We’ll stop in at Parkway Bakery & Tavern, Domilise’s, Johnny’s Po-Boys and Mother’s Restaurant. 

Our first ever guest on the show is a man who literally grew up in the po-boy business and owned an iconic New Orleans neighborhood restaurant for 36 years, Teddy’s Grill.  He is an expert on the business of the po-boy, and also happens to be my dad - vincent Bologna!

For recommendations and locations of great po-boys (or poor boys) in New Orleans, please visit our website at www.beyondbourbonst.com.

If you’ve not already done so, you can subscribe to the podcast at www.beyondbourbonst.com/iTunes.  If you are enjoying what we’re producing, I would be honored if you would leave a rating at iTunes.  It helps others discover little glimpse of New Orleans.
