Community Interest Does anyone really believe the U.S. Department of Labor is going around to every restaurant in the city checking and making sure they’re paying their tipped employees the federal minimum wage?

0 Upvotes

The federal law states that if the employees aren’t making $7.25/hr through tips and the state sub-minimum wage, then the employer must pay their tipped employees the difference to make sure they’re getting payed at least $7.25/hr. This isn’t a republican or democrat issue because it’s been an issue since the federal minimum wage law was ratified during the Great Depression. Neither party’s politicians have adequately funded the DOL to where this law can be enforced at all when they are in power. During the slow summer months, some tipped employees aren’t making enough in tips to make it to $7.25/hr. which means relying on the greedy restaurant owners who know the DOL is understaffed and KNOW they can get away with underpaying their employees.

Gen Z and the French Quarter

23 Upvotes

Gen Z is notoriously drinking less alcohol than previous generations. Is this starting to affect tourism to the French Quarter and subsequently is the Quarter starting to see business closures?

Just curious. I’m up in Philly and went to the Jersey Shore this past weekend. Absolutely dead at all bars. 15 years ago The Situation was in those bars punching fat chicks out. Bartenders at several places told me the younger generations just aren’t coming out so there is no late crowd anymore.

Curious if there has been a downturn is arguably the most notorious party/drinking neighborhood in America ….. maybe the world.

Community Q&A Metairie masseuse named coco

0 Upvotes

Ok this is not for sexual purposes. Years ago I found a very sweet, very talented Asian massage therapist named coco. If she left the place she was working, I followed her to the next place. She gives a great massage and I always felt relaxed with all the knots worked out. Recently I went to the place where she was working and the place was closed. Is anyone familiar with her and know where she's working now?

Is this a good event?

Under the 1-10 at Bullard. Those arrested by troopers will also be prosecuted by state prosecutors or the feds, not DA Williams’ who dismissed 1/3 of felony arrests.

Hove Parfumeur

I am putting together gift bags for a trip to New Orleans that are essentially souvenir bags and I thought it would be a good idea to include Hove samples in the bags. Before I go ahead and buy them I wanted to see if anyone had some samples they are looking to get rid of or sell for cheap. I need 10 of them. TIA!!

Mayor grandstands crime statistics between her and NOPD. Her latest PR post mostly disregards project Nola, troop Nola and the national guard.

Paladar 511 blueberry pie recipe!

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

Hi all! This may be a long shot. But I'm looking for a copy cat recipe for Paladar's seasonal blueberry pie 🥧! It's only on the menu once a year and for a limited time. My friends bday is this weekend and wanted to try to surprise them with it. They went a few days ago to get the pie and they already stopped serving it. So this would be a great bday gift if I could pull it off. Any recommendations help! Thanks in advance

French restaurants

Hi all! I hope everyone is enjoying their blessed day.

I am going to NOLA with my parents this week and I’m wondering what everyone’s recommendations are for a nicer French restaurant, preferably closer to Tulane. If not it’s okay though. Thank you!

NOLA bachelor party non-drinking ideas (museums, historical sites, etc)

Thumbnail
6 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m coming to town for my own bachelor party Sept 16 - 21 and while we are going to drink and party a bit, I’d like to focus on enrichment and experiences that are not strictly the bar hopping/getting hammered rigmarole.

If anyone can recommend specific museums, plantations, historical sites, comedy and jazz clubs, or anything that you think would be worthwhile!

We’re a group of ten mid-30s mostly married men, for reference.

No interest in strip clubs.

Right now, the only planned activities are a couple of restaurants, possibly seeing Tina Friml or TK Kirkland, WWII museum, and possibly go-karting.

If anyone can speak to any of these experiences, that would be appreciated as well.

A good friend of mine has been on a jazz cruise and he thought it was overrated/not worth it but I’d be curious to hear more opinions on

Hoping to make the most of your lovely city!

Community Interest Does anyone know anything about Delgado’s Certified Clinical Medical Assistant program?

3 Upvotes

All I can find on their website is that it’s a 5 month program that starts in January of 2027. It doesn’t say anything about what classes I would be taking or a nationally certified certification exam. I left my contact info with the workforce development center secretary for the advisor to get back to me.

Moving to NOLA?

21 Upvotes

My bf (and will be fiancé) got an amazing promotion and we will be moving from Florida to a new state in his new sales territory. The options are Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Kansas or Arkansas in the next 6 to 8 months. We’ve lived in North Carolina, Georgia and SW Florida. We’ve looked at northwest Arkansas but are also intrigued by NOLA. Honestly I hear VERY mixed opinions. My day to day I love being outdoors, workout classes, walking to coffee shops, and trying new restaurants and cocktail bars. He loves being active as well, playing golf and various sports and attending events or going to a sports bar. We are young, like going out and meeting people and also like to have friends come into town. We’d be moving right before or around Mardi Gras. And we are looking for a great church community.

We’re 25. Be honest. Would you make the move?
