Our goal with this newsletter is to provide relevant updates on properties for sale, interesting developments in and around the city and new and exciting businesses opening. We also want to provide a glimpse into the perks of calling New Orleans our home. This newsletter is no one way street.

'Tis the season to eat pie. Southern styled, French inspired, New Orleans baked. Recently opened on Freret Street, a new brick and mortar serving up the best pies in New Orleans. Take our advice, don't just buy one. Thank us later.

“When I'm not tending to the new pride and joy of the family, Miss Celeste Aden Burka, I spend most of my time keeping the folks at the office in line. I run a tight ship and while overseeing shipping and receiving is my expertise, my top priority is to ensure cleanup of all abandoned food products. During the holidays I like to step it up a notch and act as the primary security guard for the team. Dryades St. knows me well, but don't be fooled, I know it even better."
