Dream Honeymoons: Broadway-Approved Getaway in Hamilton’s Nevis
05/07/2021
The West Indies just
sounds exotic. You’ve heard that honeymooners love the vibe on Nevis, a verdant, timeless island, which feels like the Caribbean of bygone days. You’ve seen Hamilton on Broadway. You’d managed to get tickets via a friend. That’s the night you proposed to her. That’s what made you choose this island over all the others in the Caribbean. At the show, you first hear about Nevis. This is where Alexander Hamilton grew up. He saw the slave trade in real time. You love that his life so moved him that he never owned slaves. That fascinates you both. He’s your hero. Here, you will immerse yourself in a place unquestionably enlivened by its African heritage; a heritage that includes a painful past of colonization and slavery, but that is superseded by a culturally rich and intriguing indigenous history.
14 Parishes Jamaican Restaurant, 8227 Oak St.
14 Parishes Jamaican Restaurant is settling nicely into its latest location at 8227 Oak St.
Chef Charles Blake and Lauren Johnson Blake, a husband-and-wife team, have been serving up traditional Jamaican food out of the Pythian Market on Loyola Avenue since May 2018. While that location caters mostly to a lunch crowd, the Oak Street location is hoping to find its way into New Orleanians’ dinner plans.
Charles, who hails from Spanish Town, Jamaica, has a passion for food and has been cooking his entire life. He and Lauren, a New Orleans native, met in Atlanta, where she also fell in love with his cooking.
