1of18Prairieville, La. s Xander Hall licks his lips as he lifts off the cupcake that was one of the toppings on his Birthday Cake, a gourmet milkshake at The Yard Milkshake Bar, Tuesday, July 13, 2021 in Baton Rouge, La. To say The Yard Milkshake Bar serves over-the-top confections is a bit of an understatement. This is the description for its Tiger Deaux milkshake unique to Baton Rouge: a concoction of cookie dough ice cream with purple and gold marshmallow cream served in a vanilla iced jar rolled in purple and gold sprinkles and topped with purple and gold whipped cream, a scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough, more sprinkles and a purple tiger paw.(Travis Spradling/The Advocate via AP)Travis Spradling/APShow MoreShow Less

The Irish Channel St. Patrick’s Day Club has canceled the Irish Channel Parade for the second year in a row as the coronavirus continues community spread. Additionally, the annual block party at Annunciation Playground benefiting St. Michael Special School is canceled.

Feb. 16 was Mardi Gras. For a New Orleans native like me, that usually means a day of costuming, hanging out with family and friends, catching beads at parades, eating yummy food, listening to great music and so much great people-watching.

NEW ORLEANS Carnival season is over, which means cleanup begins. Dinosaurs, bees, a giant Dr. John bust all must come down. Floats in the Oaks displays also need to be put away.
It s like the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. So today, we re taking down the lights and picking up everything, packing it up, said Justin Berger. All we have left here are to take lights off the fence, get it loaded and move onto the next.
