LGBTQ+ ©Chris Granger LOCAL LGBTQ+ RESOURCES @queernola LGBTQ+ events and resources in New Orleans THE DARLING @grrlspot New Orleans pop-up dance party for queer women and folx of all genders MEET THE QUEEN FAVORITE PLACE TO BRING VISITORS When my amazing girlies are in town, I make sure to plan the ultimate experience! It's a must to dive into classic New Orleans cuisine, like a visit to Antoine's . For shopping, you've got to hit up Magazine Street Uptown and Royal Street in the French Quarter. And can we talk about the cocktail scene? Sip away at The Chandelier Bar or Bar Marilou for a stylish vibe. FAVORITE RESTAURANT @houseoftulipno Programming and advocacy for trans and gender non-conforming individuals in New Orleans Our city's food culture is a treasure trove of stories from the past and present, and my ultimate go-to is Gianna . It might come as a surprise since Italian cuisine isn't typically at the top of my list, but executive chef Donald Link's creations steal my heart. FAVORITE MUSEUM OR ATTRACTION The Historic New Orleans Collection is a must-visit. It's like a deep dive into the heart and soul of the city's history. And don't miss the Backstreet Cultural Museum , where you can get up close with the awe-inspiring suits of the Black Masking Indians. FAVORITE WAY TO HIT THE TOWN @gaynola504 The premier guide to New Orleans' LGBTQ+ community For me, it's all about the thrill of a burlesque or drag show. Places like the AllWays Lounge & Cabaret , Toulouse Theater , Oz , and Saturn Bar are some of the spots where the magic happens. Imagine a fusion of glitz, glamour, celebration, and pure artistry — that's what you'll find on these stages. Follow me on Instagram at @thedarlingxx . 50
