NOLA Apps and Sites that I find useful:
Here are some of the apps I have on my iPhone to access info on New Orleans:
1. wwoz: 90.7 FM This is the quintessential New Orleans roots and culture station. They sponsor Jazz Fest, they have most of the music being played around the city each night in their music calendar, can get the music stream from here and pretend you are in NOLA, etc, etc
2. Eater New Orleans: All the news of restaurants, their eater 38 or top ones, where to be seen (of course 2466 Royal, ChezRoyalHowieJane)
3. NolaDefender (Blood.Alcohol.Content) Good Indie Coverage on events, New Orleans News, etc
4. Times Picayune Web Site: Famous old newspaper of the town. Covers all news, politics, sports, entertainment.
4. Cultural Activities:
New Orleans Museum of Art
Ogden Art Museum of Southern Culture
Contemporary Art Center

Transportation at Day of Dead Celebration in New Orleans
Transportation
Hi Everyone,
Just giving my thoughts and experience about renting a car in New Orleans for the event. I love having a car because I can then roam and visit various areas in the city and surroundings. The parking around our neighborhood is easy to find spots. I know some don't like to have a rental car and would use taxis or public transportation. There are bus routes thru the city, and line 5 runs in our neighborhood.
The rental logistics are very easy at New Orleans Airport. Just get off, walk to a building dedicated to rental, and pick up your car. We have been using Dollar rent a car, and have been pleased with their service, however whichever company you have points, or experience with is all there. Also easy to drive to our house. Takes about 20 minutes. Put WWOZ 90.7 on the radio and start the experience.
Maybe some would want to join forces and rent a car together. Just wanted to share my experience. I am planning to have some morning event, Friday or Saturday, out to the bayou's . But will give further info on that when planned.
