What's New In Real Estate & Life In New Orleans
We wish the Delta Surge was nothing more than a New Orleans bounce move...but apparently we just can't shake these Ventilator Blues. We're hoping this will be The Last Time, but You Can't Always Get What You Want. Since our last newsletter, when we thought we had COVID Under My Thumb [sic], we've seen Delta in the Delta become Out Of Control; That COVID, She's So Cold. To Paint It Black even further, we've also witnessed devastating news in the Middle East, several catastrophic natural disasters, the third cancellation of Jazzfest, and the passing of Stones drummer Charlie Watts. But don't Start Me Up. You Gotta Move on. We clearly have...
The above is enough to make a grown man cry— but just when we thought the whole world was Shattered, the Who Dats have come to our Emotional Rescue.
Back to our Beast Of Burden, new listings include four restaurant properties and a Lower 9 former church for sale/lease. The graceless lady COVID hit the food & beverage industry like a Street Fighting Man, but new restaurants are continuing to open up (see below). Time Is On [Our] Side.

WE'RE EATINGFAUBOURG FARMS: ITALIAN ICE |
WE'RE DRINKINGMIDWAY PIZZA: MARGARITA |

[You] Can't Get No Satisfaction? Let us help you with that. We're giving five stars to Faubourg Farms' refreshing Italian Watermelon Ice, best served on the hottest of days. For the Gimme Shelter days at home, this warm weather treat is a necessity, especially when you've got a full bottle of vodka on tap. You'll be melting into your adirondack in no time. Recipe found here. |
Did you know Italians make the best margaritas? Neither did we...until we accidentally discovered an A+ Marg at Midway Pizza on Freret. Served up like a Mexican Martini, this smooth and tasty cocktail is so good it even pairs well with a hot and cheesy deep dish pizza. Lucky for you, we have the recipe. Fill your Loving Cup and enjoy. Check out the recipe here. |
Office Update
In times of despair, we seek comfort, so when Casey said "Let's Spend the Night Together and bake some bread," we just couldn't resist. Brioche, cheesy jalapeño, close-to-mall-quality pretzels, and now the delicious cinnamon treat— babka. We haven't quite reached Boulangerie status, but give us a few weeks to work out our yeast-to-baking soda ratio... and figure out the difference between baking soda and baking powder. We've ordered a real life rolling pin to replace the bottle of Casamigos we've been using in the meantime. Because, after all, what could go better with this sweet, rich, Brown Sugar-packed bread than a sinful, spicy margarita?
In case you can't Get Off Of My Cloud and the Stones are on your mind, we put together a special b+b newsletter playlist just for you.
#VaxDat so we can Who Dat.
If our newsletter becomes old, generic or lame, it would be an utter shame. Speak up, help us out, that's what we're all about.
