2019JUNE
S
chool’s out; time to play. You’re in the right
place at the right time. Granted, New
Orleans knows how to throw down whatever the
season, but come summer, the city really cuts
loose and goes with the ow.
Maybe it’s the heat that makes us shed our
inhibitions—and often clothing—so easily, or
maybe (to borrow from Lady Gaga) we were born
this way. From its outset New Orleans has served
as a beacon to wayward travelers, a welcoming
place for the odd and eccentric, the o beat and
exotic. You’ll experience that come-as-you-are/
all-are-welcome attitude during this month’s
many festivals (p. 14) and various Pride events
(16). Chat up the complete stranger next to you,
and you’ll likely form a fast friendship. at’s just
how we roll.
It’s that inherent warmth and hospitality that
makes this city one of the nation’s coolest...no
matter how high the mercury gets.
