Welcome to September! It's hard to believe, but the end of August marks 8 months into “Project NOLAlicious.” For our new subscribers (and there's a lot of you this month, hello, welcome, and thank you!) special issues were started to give readers a monthly recap. Links to NOLAlicious issues from the past month are pulled into this one issue for you to peruse or send along to friends. As our lagniappe to you, as in regular issues, we give you a NOLAlicious special edition wallpaper: download and use it for free on your computer, iPhone or iPad. This month, we wanted to share our most viewed content from the past month! Is your favorite pick of the month included? Remember, you can always send us tips of what to include in upcoming issues and submit photos to share your favorite New Orleans experiences. Welcome to September,
NOLAlicious Picks
34 Do you GroupOn? The fastest growing company made its debut in New Orleans this past summer and we love getting their emails and discovering new shops and places to try around New Orleans. Plus, the deals can't be beat! For those who aren't familiar with GroupOn, it's part of a movement called collective buying where by a certain number of people buying a deal, everyone gets a steep discount. It's coupons sure, it's also a great economic stimulus for local businesses. You can sign up here. 33 In the spirit of the original TED and ideas worth spreading, TEDxNOLA is happening this Friday and it's going to be spectacular. TEDx events are combinations of TEDTalks and live speakers that come together to spark deep discussion and connections. Speakers include Mayor Mitch Landrieu, John Besh, James Carville, Harry Shearer and Wendell Pierce! Only 200 tickets are available and we hear they're going fast, so what are you waiting for? Tickets $35 and available at Le Petit Theatre located at 616 St. Peter Street. Friday all day, starting at 9 AM. Updated: Click here to view the official photos from TEDxNOLA. 32 We all love a good culinary deal, and whenever we spot a good deal on a full course meal, we like to spread the good word. Be sure to check out COOLinary New Orleans this month for some awesome opportunities to eat without breaking the bank! This summer restaurant promotion features mouth-watering three-course menus priced at $20 or less for lunch and $34 or less for dinner. Head to their website and see for yourself what restaurants are participating. Bon appetit! Promotion runs until September 1. 31 New Orleans blogger Mallory Whitfield has been writing about indie artists and designers since 2006 on her blog, Miss Malaprop, and is one of the founding members of the New Orleans Craft Mafia. She launched a new online shop this spring, highlighting unique handmade and eco-friendly goods by a variety of artists, including many Gulf Coast based designers.
