Jon Cleary: From the Maple Leaf in New Orleans to Royal Albert Hall | Ep. 37

And now, for This Week in New Orleans, let's go to April Dupree.

Thanks so much, Mark.

Here's where to eat, drink, and of course, play this week in New Orleans.

For something hearty, tubes, meadery, it's always a strong move with big Louisiana flavor and a menu that's perfect for a fall weekend.

For something a little lighter, A Thousand Figs is a great stop for falafel, small plates, and a cozy neighborhood feel.

Cafe Dega and Lola's bring that classic Esplanade Avenue charm, while Charmant and Chata add fresh new options to the mid-city mix.

If keeping it casual is on your agenda, check out Parkway Bakery and Tavern, Blue Oak BBQ, or Mandina's.

Whether you're heading to Oktoberfest, Praisefest, or just making a mid-city night of it, this is a good week to build your plans around the neighborhood.

Oktoberfest at Deutsches Haus is back for the second weekend on Bayou St. John.

Friday brings music from Lynn Marie and the Brats, then Saturday adds Pulse and the 610 Stompers with the world's largest chicken dance.

there's also the beer stein holding contest chicken dancing throughout the festival and schnitzelbaum so grab a stein settle in to the music and let deutsch's house bring a little bavaria to bayou st john if you want to keep the mid-city drink plan going before or after finn mccool's bank street bar wrong iron pals lounge and true south are all good options to have on your radar Praise Fest brings three days of gospel music to Bayou St. John Friday through Sunday with hand clapping, foot stomping, soul touching praise in a free festival setting.

Downtown NOLA Funk Fest takes over Woldenberg Park Friday through Sunday, celebrating Louisiana's music history with performers including George Porter Jr. and the Running Partners, Galactic featuring Jelly Joseph, Lost Bayou Ramblers with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra and so many more.

And on Saturday, Palabolas returns to the Mahalia Jackson Theater with its signature mix of athleticism, illusion, and inventive storytelling.

From gospel and funk to dance, theater, and Oktoberfest chicken dancing, this weekend has plenty of ways to keep you moving.
