Places and Spaces

It’s springtime in New Orleans and that can only mean one thing: Festival season is in full bloom. Since it’s the paw-fect time to get out and about with Fido, we’ve sniffed out a few outdoor activities and events that you and your fur-st mate are sure to go mutts over!

Whether it's a birthday, “gotcha day” of adoption, bark mitzvah or graduation, there's nothing quite like a pawty for dogs and their humans. It’s a fun way to thank your best friend for all his love and loyalty.

New Orleans is known for its unique music, food and culture. But the natural beauty of our bayous and nature preserves are the Big Easy’s unspoken attractions.

There’s nothing better than sharing weekend brunch with your furry bestie, so we’ve sniffed out a few fetching hot spots to enjoy with your pack. So leash up your pup and grab a seat for some tail-wagging good grub and eye-opening cocktails that you’re sure to dig!

It’s no secret that typical New Orleans cuisine is not the healthiest, with an abundance of fried delicacies, rich, buttery sauces and sugary desserts lurking around every corner. But it is paw-sible to dig up some good-for-you grub if you know where to look.

New Orleanians love their football and there’s nothing more spirited than catching a game with your furry bestie! From local taprooms to a grown-up arcade, we’ve sniffed out wag-worthy spots to cheer on the Black and Gold with Spot.

I was charmed when P&P asked me to cover a feature on Paradigm Gardens as I live adjacent to it, and have since the business started growing, here in New Orleans’ Central City neighborhood.

As summer is upon us, Louisiana residents creatively coming up with ways to stay cool with their furry friends—no-flavor snowballs, ice baths in the kiddie pool, or throwing back a couple of cold ones (yes, they make beer for dogs and wine for cats now).

There’s no need to jump through hoops to find a bad-to-the-bone boozy brunch spot to enjoy with spot. Pup & Purr has sniffed out some of the most wag-worthy brunches around, so grab your pooch and head out for some dog-gone creative cuisine and eye-opening libations that are sure to raise the woof!

It’s that magical time of year bustling with holiday festivities, celebratory cocktailing, family feasts—oh, and this little thing we call Mardi Gras! While you’re making spirits bright, your favorite furry friend yearns to be part of the joy of the season, too!

For over one hundred years, New Orleanians have celebrated Mardi Gras with pomp and circumstance, but now our four-legged best friends can now get in on the action. From puppy parades to costume contests, there are many opportunities for your pets to enjoy themselves alongside their families.
