re: Best Upscale Italian in NOLA

Posted by Tha Herg on 5/7/25 at 7:11 pm
Avo used to be my go-to Italian spot but the food and especially the service was sub-par my last two trips. The last visit being about six months ago. Good to read some positive posts about it. Maybe it’s time to give them another shot?
When going into each room, it appeared as if Gemma changed her severed state. For example, she did not remember sitting in the dentist chair after she stepped out of the room. Was she becoming her innie when she stepped into the testing rooms?

Agreed. This is a big get for CWW. I haven’t been since the new owner took over but sounds like it’s been a positive change.

The hotel or the pool? It was being renovated but I know the hotel is open. Not sure on the pool.

They should be coming out in the next week or two, right? Any intel?
Depending on the age of the kids, a stop at the Children’s Museum should be on the list. Fun experience that will also bring you inside City Park.

The museum has an attached restaurant, Acorn, that is run by the Brennan’s. Solid food with coffee and (importantly) adult drinks.

Moreno is far far far too liberal for my liking, but at least she works hard. And after meeting with her in person, I do think she will be practical about a lot of things, was very complimentary of Jeff Landry, and was very pro-Troop NOLA.

She will be light years better than the current administration simply by showing up. She will also have a stronger relationship with the city council and many in the local business community. The question is how much she will prioritize getting shite done vs pursuing an ideological agenda that does not address the foundational issues.
Well that’s encouraging. Lots of money sitting on the sideline waiting to see if any other legitimate candidate will enter the race.

Not Walt. New guy Will make a decision in the next few weeks.

New to politics in general or new to the NOLA political scene? Whoever it is better announce soon so he can start to build the finances to face Helena.
I will never understand why people want a city to fail. What a negative way to go through life.
I’ll throw out Vampire Weekend. Besides album one to album two, each album is distinct with different pacing and song structure .

Pretty much every major street is under construction.

A bit of fact checking here. The ‘major streets’ such as Poydras and Canal are completely open. Many streets in the FQ are under construction and those are all expected to be completed by month end. Boh Brothers have been flying through the repairs (which is frustrating we can’t do this more often). Some streets around the dome are closed due to security preparations

You can use this website to see current street construction / closures related to the Super Bowl. LINK /
What does this run imply for the NOLA metro area?
Louisiana’s economic development team are getting some nice wins the last few months. Great to see.
Asking this question in the most negative NOLA echo chamber won’t get you the general barometer you’re looking for.
The things that enrage posters on this site never cease to amaze me.

She’s been a better and seemingly more effective NOPD head than anyone else in recent history. Considering the circumstances she inherited she’s done a good job


This. She’s stemmed attrition, prioritized proactive policing, got NOPD closer to consent decree compliance, and worked effectively with LSP. Not to mention 2024 saw the lowest crime figures since 2019.
They’re handing them out to all Turkey Day Race participants (NOLA).
