Here Comes The Big Chief!

What's New In Real Estate & Life In New Orleans

Omi-chronic! The first month of 2022 is here, and after receiving two or three requests for the return of our potent newsletter, we're back. After all, we are the weavers of words. Language is our brush, real estate is our canvas, and we're ready to paint it like one of your French girls.

After the big hit of missing our first Mardi Gras since 1979, we’re more than ready to post-up on the neutral ground with 100,000 of our closest friends, drink a few cold ones, and take in all the psychedelic sights, dope sounds, and funky smells that are sure to mellow our souls. We couldn't imagine a more high time. Needless to say, New Orleans without Mardi Gras is like cereal without the milk, Kool-aid without the sugar, or ham without the burger. So basically... Atlanta.

In case you haven't heard, medical marijuana is now legal in New Orleans. Casey has already begun experimenting with his new medicine and decided that perfecting a smoked pork belly old-fashioned was a good use of time. That may sound sickening— and it turns out it is.

With a fresh start to the New Year and the pungent smell of flower in the air, we’re excited to roll out these joints.

Restaurant Spotlight: Good Bird Graduates

After a few years in their incubator location at 5031 Freret Street, the savants of poultry at Good Bird have moved right down the block, taking over the former Liberty Cheesesteaks space. While we were happy to work the lease for this relocation, we are perhaps just as excited about whats to come for the newly available incubator space, which also saw the launch of the Dat Dag concept. Stay tuned for updates on a new user!

Tito's Ceviche: Pisco a lo Macho

With every new year, new resolutions are made to eat healthier, drink less, and exercise more. (At least for the first 10 days of January). This lean, mean, shrimp-salad machine is served up with preserved lemon and Arbequina olives to make your cup runneth over for good. Grab your wild caught Louisiana shrimp and get to cooking... you may be eating zinc for the foreseeable future.

Dry January is here. While most are disciplined enough to give up Satan's liquid poison in the first month of every new year, our dry January consists of cottonmouth of the south after having a few too many of these sneaky demons. Paired deliciously with fresh seafood and a nice shrimp salad, Tito Ceviche's Pisco a lo Macho is even good with Mama's sinful gazpacho.
