Where Black NOLA Eats – EP 163

Where Black NOLA Eats

Today’s episode is about black owned restaurants in New Orleans. I’m joined by the founder of a Facebook group called Where Black NOLA Eats. Join Jalence Isles and me as we talk about lots of great places to eat, as well as the reason for the group’s creation, and the economics of being a black-owned small business.

You’ll want to have a notepad and pen ready to capture lots of new places to discover!

Sponsors

The Historic New Orleans Collection

Support comes from The Historic New Orleans Collection, the city’s premiere history museum, located at five twenty Royal Street in the heart of the French Quarter.

Current exhibits include “French Quarter Life: People and Places in the Vieux Carre” For more than 150 years, artists from around the world have worked to capture and share their impressions of New Orleans’s most iconic and historic neighborhood. This exhibition gathers 22 paintings from the museum’s permanent collection. From the bustle of the French Market to the jazzmen of Preservation Hall, these artworks explore the streets, buildings, and people of the French Quarter through time and a variety of techniques. It runs through August 28, 2022.
