Happy Thanksgiving weekend! It should be a beautiful and sunny weekend in New Orleans, and the turkey-day festivities are in high gear.
If you’re not interested in cooking tonight, there are lots of local spots ready to feed ya. If you’re just here for the sports, the Saints face off against the Falcons tonight at 7. Plus, the annual Bayou Classic starts tomorrow.
Friday will undoubtably bring some Black Friday sales to the city, and Saturday we have some local performances from Tank and the Bangas and Austin’s post-punk group Sailor Poon.
Check out these & all our other picks from this weekend in New Orleans:
