Hello everyone! I'm currently in SoCal and considering relocating to New Orleans for a potential Respiratory Therapist position with Ochsner Health. I'd be moving on my own, so it's a pretty big decision!

I'd love to hear from anyone who works at Ochsner, especially RTs. What's the work environment, staffing, pay, and support for new grads like?

I'm also curious about life in NOLA..

• Safety: What neighborhoods would you recommend?
• Living alone: Do you feel comfortable living alone?
• Community: How easy is it to make friends and build a social circle?
• Cost of living: Is an RT salary enough to live comfortably?
• Relocation: For those who moved there alone, are you happy you did?

I'm looking for honest perspectives, both good and bad, from locals and healthcare workers. If you'd prefer not to share your experience publicly, please feel free to PM me! I'd really appreciate any advice.

Saints fans, I need your help! ⚜️🖤💛 I'm hoping to surprise my boyfriend with tickets to a New Orleans Saints game. He's a huge fan, and after three years together, I really want to do something special for him. He's done so much for me, and I'd love to give him an experience he'll never forget. Any tips on the best games, seats, or special experiences for a first-time Saints game? I'd appreciate any advice! Who Dat! 🏈

Any recommendations for watching Uefa champions league any bar? Or cool restaurant where they put the games?

Thanks in advance

Okay, so I am planning on moving down via Amtrak. I don't have anyone to help with logistics, so I am just asking here for some guidance. I also don't have that much experience moving within the US, especially without a car, so bare with me.

1. Belongings-wise I mostly plan to bring clothes, kitchen items, various personal items, and most likely an air mattress. I don't think I'll be able to carry all my items on the train by myself.
   

I was planning on using a service like FedEx Ground to do a door-to-door delivery from my current place to my new one. I estimate I will need to ship 3 of these bags at most.

^ What is the most cost-effective way to transport these items? Am I on the right track?

1. How reliable is Uber in New Orleans? Since I will arrive at the Amtrak station, how do people rank the safety and reliability of ubers at that location/ in New Orleans in general?

2. Where do y'all buy affordable/used (also clean) furniture?

3. I will not have a car for the first few weeks. But I would like to buy a car and have it shipped to my apartment. Has anyone done this before? I realize I would need to get insurance and change my Illinois license to Louisiana... how do I do this?

Thank you for helping a very overwhelmed person out!

Behind Two Foxes' Books used bookstore at 6233 S. Claiborne Ave, New Orleans. Bunch of books all varieties. Take as many as you like. A bunch of coffee table sized books mostly on record collecting 60s rock ‘n’ roll and weapons.
condition: good
No, we are not moving or closing. We just get a lot of books we cannot use and want them to go to people who want them so we put books out all the time for free.

Hi everyone!
I am working on a research project about the cultural impact K&B had on the city. I understand this in an unusual request but I am seeking out information on Mardi Gras costumes worn by the Krewe of Clones. It was to honor K&B and they dressed as K-Bees, which involved them wearing atena, makeshift stringers and purple striped velvet tops. According to what I have found thus far it probably took place before 1997 but I’m not totally sure about that. Does anyone have any info or photos of this? If so please let me know. Thanks so much!
Also if there is a different subreddit I should post in can some please let me know.
Also if I need to take this down and repost on Tuesday pleas let me know and I will do so. I wasn’t sure if this counted as “Mardi Gras” as it’s more of a history question.

This is peak weather for New Orleans!

​

It would be needed starting the end of October or beginning of November. Preferably not a roommate situation. Efficiency or property in the back of someone's home. Service dog would be there. Just for maybe a month right now. Room for two people in a safe area. Is that possible for this price?

Hey everyone, out of curiosity does anybody know what happened to Daniel and the Dixieland Diggers from Celebration Station? I collect these things for fun so I'm curious to know there whereabouts. I know that they still exist somewhere I'm just trying to figure out where. Thank you!

Edit: We are there for 3 nights. We like to eat where the locals eat, hole in the wall restaurants for our meals. No touristy restaurants

Hubby and I are going for our 29th anniversary. He wants a good steak, preferably ribeye or filet for our anniversary dinner. I love to go to the where the locals eat for all other meals. Would love recommendations. TIA

Love those hole in the wall local places for other meals on our trip

I personally think it’s because the food trucks are owned by black people while Snake and Jake’s is owned by some crusty old white dude and the majority white carrolton neighborhood thinks it’s cute and fun to drink in a shed.

First time Reddit poster! Please be gentle with me. AskNola subreddit autodeleted this post, so, yes, I tried there.

Question about going to second lines - I'm not talking about funerals, or anything else not promoted as an "event."

We just moved to New Orleans in August and really would like to go see Rhythms & Feathers Festival, a second line that's in Lower 9th Ward tomorrow (Sat Oct 17). Hosted by https://www.feedthesecondline.org/. Marketing this event is for "the whole community."

Here's the thing: I'm white. I would love love love to go, but really don't want to enter a space that's not for me. I don't want to be an interloper or presumptuous about what's mine to experience. I've read up the best I can about etiquette, but my question isn't really about that. It's about respect for a tradition I have no personal connection with. Sometimes respect means giving people their space. Help a new transplant out with some guidance on this, please.
