Attire Inspiration Station

“Shades of Melanin”
chic, classy, dressy

A celebration of our tones, hues, variations of pigmentation presentation, and beauty. A call to be seen, heard without words, boldy show up in skin and color. We are one magnificent people who deserve to use every living day as a day to shine and lift each other. A strong people of poetic expression that cannot be ignored.

Show up and show off!

Cash or Card?

I suggest bringing CASH if you can for the weekends festivities. We will be visiting just ONE WEEK POST official Mardi Gras as I don’t care for too large of a crowd. Avoid any credit card issues.

Cards are also acceptable throughtout the majority of the city.

Cash makes like easier and expedient.

Tip where you can. NOLA is usually %18 plus.

Getting Around Downtown

New Orleans Regional Transit Authority (RTA or NORTA)

Use the cute streetcar to get around.!
The site offers trip planner and routes/schedule options with realtime arrivals and estimated drop off times.

Uber and Lyft are available.
A ride through the city usually averages $10-15. I tend to get XLs. Treat yaself!

Walk.
Get those steps in. Everything in the French Quarter is a beautiful Spanish architecture sight to be seen.

NOLA C.T.C. Steppers Second Line Parade

After brunch DOWNTOWN culture experience.
