Henry Howard Hotel

For years and years, maybe during my formative years, my desire to stay within the thick of things when traveling was of utmost priority. Up until a few years ago, I’ve always gravitated towards the most densely populated part so the city I was traveling to. I wanted to feed off the energy and dart out of the hotel and into the world I was visiting.

Paloma Cafe

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">800 Louisa Street, in the Bywater, has experienced a lot in the last few years. Within a few years after Katrina, Booty's was the first to inhabit the space with some marginal success. After struggling to connect with locals and visitors alike, Booty's gave way to the ambitious locally founded outpost Henri Cafe.</p>

Malia Luna

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I toiled and toiled for many years on the thought of getting a tattoo. As a creative person, more importantly as a designer, the hardest part of getting a tattoo was the deciding what the image would be. It was crucial that it was just right, because it will be there till the end.</p>

Favorite New Nola Coffee Shops

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Make no bones about it, and I've said this before, if I could walk around with a coffee drip running through my veins I would. The act of fetching/having/going out for coffee is a huge part of my process as a photographer, or for that matter a creative. I've featured lots of coffee shops over the years, and these are a few I'm currently obsessing over. Follow them and show them some love when your own craving kicks in.</p>
