PORCH CRAWL

June 12, 2014 by Charlie London

porch-logoRobert Grove said in The Advocate:

“This year’s Porch Crawl featured six beautiful homes and porches, all within easy walking distance of each other. At every stop on the tour, patrons enjoyed food from area restaurants and assorted libations to wash it all down with.”

Melinda Shelton had this to say about the upcoming Porch Crawl:
While summertime heats up, it doesn’t mean life in New Orleans slows down. After all, we live in the city that gave the world cocktails, so certainly we know how to concoct ways to enjoy life—high humidity and all. One of the most popular events is the Porch Crawl, which the Faubourg St. John Neighborhood Association hosts every summer. The slogan is a masterpiece: “Here in New Orleans, we don’t hide crazy; we parade it on the front porch and give it a cocktail.”

Proceeds will be used to buy swings for Desmare playground.

FUN IN FAUBOURG ST. JOHN
article by Roberta Grove
The Faubourg St. John Neighborhood Association recently hosted its third annual Porch Crawl fundraiser. Broad Street, Orleans Avenue, Carrollton Avenue and Onzaga Street at the Fair Grounds are the boundaries for the historic neighborhood, which was established in 1708.

The area’s lush tree-lined streets are home to more than 4,000 residents who are accustomed to hosting unique celebrations.

The recent Porch Crawl highlighted seven Faubourg St. John homes and their front porches.

Each home was paired with one of seven neighborhood restaurants. At each stop along the way, patrons sampled tastings from each establishment while sipping refreshing summer cocktails, provided by Glazer’s.

Before air conditioning existed, New Orleans neighborhood porches were popular gathering places for friends, family and neighbors to socialize, with relative comfort, during the warmer summer months.

Today, many porches still have furnishings and fans to make outdoor entertaining more enjoyable.

It is this local tradition that inspired the members of the Faubourg St. John neighborhood to embrace history while simultaneously raising funds to support FSJNA’s many community improvements.

Supporting that cause were Liuzzas by the Track, Pal’s Lounge, Fat Falafel Food Truck, Serendipity, Café Degas, Santa Fe Restaurant, Lola’s and Ralph’s on the Park.

Some locations featured entertainment, but most patrons eventually found their way over to 1100 block of North Gayoso Street to take in the sounds of jazz trumpeter James Andrews and his trio.

FSJNA’s Porch Crawl attracted more than 150 patrons to highlight one of our city’s most-beautiful neighborhoods.

The Crawl is the perfect way to get a feel for and appreciation of a great neighborhood so if you missed it, make sure to check out https://www.fsjna.org for the organization’s next party. Bastille Day is just around the corner, with a celebration planned July 13. See you there!

La Vie de Ville captures city life New Orleans style each Thursday in the Advocate New Orleans Community News Section. Please email information on your upcoming event to robertagrove@hotmail.com.

Glazer’s strong commitment to the community has been recognized since our founding in 1933. It’s our way of saying “thank you” for allowing us to be your neighbor. Each day, we strive to earn, build and maintain a positive relationship of trust in the community, creating a tradition of caring that has come to be known as “Glazer’s Community Partnerships.”
