Got $28 Million for a 13 Minute Flight That May Blow Up?

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

If you have a small fortune to give away, what better way to throw it down the toilet than a 13-minute flight? Nonetheless, ben + burka is currently seeking $28 million in crowdfunding to secure a seat to get up there and scope out land to list for sale on the moon. Look at the bright side— hurricanes can't get you in Jeff Bezos' spaceship. Keeping our fingers crossed they don't get us here in New Orleans this year either; we will continue to hold our breath until October...errr December?

Speaking of land listings, we have several for sale here on earth that are slightly more shovel-ready. These include an excellent development opportunity on bustling Freret Street, a Prime Marigny commercial corner, and a vacant commercial lot in the Bywater.


Featured Properties

Once in a lifetime opportunity to build from the ground up at the only signalized intersection in Marigny proper. Located on Franklin Avenue near Anna's (formerly Mimi's in the Marigny), Hotel Peter and Paul, Orange Couch, Paladar 511, and The Franklin.

HMC-1 zoning allows for standard restaurant, multifamily, and general commercial, making this a true mixed-use opportunity. This property is being marketed through a sealed-bid sale.

Located smack-dab in the middle of the Freret street commercial corridor, and only a block away from the brand-new Rouses, 4730 Freret represents the last remaining commercial vacant land parcel on the street.

Ochsner Baptist, Sacred Heart, Lusher, and Newman are also less than a mile away, contributing to the traffic on the street. Permitted uses include standard restaurant (with alcohol), short-term rentals, multifamily, and general retail among many others.

What We're Eating & Drinking

WE'RE EATING

BARRACUDA: FISH TACOS

WE'RE DRINKING

ANNA'S: MOJITO

We may as well re-term Taco Tuesday to Tchoup-o Tuesday. Tasty, tangy, and totally tantalizing, our team tallies Barracuda's fish-filled tortilla as NOLA's top-most taco. Thanks to talented Chef Brett Jones, you can take time to treat yourself with the recipe.

You can find it here!

Formerly Mimi's in the Marigny, the new concept "Anna's" is designed to be your home-away-from-home. Anna Giordano is the queen of mad cocktails, and this summer we've had one too many mojitos.

Try to make it taste as good at home here.


Hot Sauce Update

Exactly one month out from bottling, we've kicked it up a notch with Serrano peppers. We completed the process of dehydrating the pepper pulp to make our own dry rub. Next on the agenda is slapping this dust of the gods on Jake's famous backyard BBQ popup.


But never forget: RB did it first. If the tip counts...



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.
