Blackened Out on the Town

Despite what the above picture connotes, life is not all food, fun, and games here at Blackened Out. Behind the dinners, the drinks, and diatribes, we are working nonstop to keep our readers abreast of the various events happening around town.

Our inbox fills everyday with emails from restaurants, markets, wine shops and the like promoting everything from dinners to wine tastings to cheese classes. In order to keep track of it all, we created a calendar for all to use, and thus Blackened Out on the Town was born. You can find the calendar on the left hand side of our website.

From time to time, we will highlight a specific event which we have attended in the past and recommend you should in the future. The entire month of May happens to be an extraordinarily busy time in the city, with everyone taking advantage of our last few days before the stifling summer heat begins. Here are just a few upcoming events:

• Sippin' in Seersucker - Summer fashion, food, and drinks to benefit the Ogden Museum
• Mid-City Bayou Boogaloo - 3 days of food and music on Bayou St. John
• American Craft Beer Week - An entire week's worth of beer tastings
• New Orleans Wine & Food Experience - A wine drinker's paradise
• Greek Festival - Opa!

So many parties, so little time.
