Please help get the word out to his cherished customers and friends
talk about “eyes on the street”!
If you have been to the corner of Barracks and Chartres during Carnival in the past few years, you have seen this house. Always decked out in Mardi Gras finery and welcoming dogs.
Help Levy reach his goal of topping himself with this latest idea for Fat Tuesday. (They also have “porch sales” throughout the year where great deals can be had….)
and get some serious Karnival Karma for helping with this.
Get to the edge of the French Market at Barracks to get your one of a kind Hallowe’en costume pieces from an amazing array of local artists. 17 years of dressing New Orleans for tricking and treating and it doesn’t look like its aged at all! Led by Cree McCree, the queen of flea (markets) as well as our region’s daring nutria fashionista paired with her fellow royalty, Tracy Thomson, milliner to well, everyone in the city, you’ll find all of your favorites artists here today from 12-6.
They’re set up in the place next to the flea market, right between Louisiana Pizza Factory and Tyler’s Produce, along the barricade.
After you see and buy there, get to Barracks and Chartres for the neighbors usual twice a year “yard” sale. Amazing finds as always from these professional pickers (and Lakin tells me that they will also be out tomorrow with more stuff from the warehouse, so stop by both days…)
All with a drink in your hand and the sun on your back….
The Iron Rail Anarchist Library and Bookstore is now at home in the French Quarter. It has fully moved into its excellent location at Barracks near Decatur (behind Gnome) and is open for business. As proud member #77, I have been involved since its beginnings as I was with Crescent Wrench before this iteration. The need for more collectives, more shared open space and more literary places is dire so support those who stick it out and do it with humor and openness by attending Iron Rail’s benefit on July 28th.

80 days after the NOPD broke its own laws to evict the Iron Rail from its location in the ARC at 511 Marigny, New Orleans’ only anarchist bookstore and library has returned…but this time the black flag has unfurled in the French Quarter!Yesterday the Iron Rail opened its doors onto 503 Barracks next to Decatur, across the street from local coffee shop Envie’s, and next door to our friends at Gnome and Riot Supply Co. Well into the night food and wine was served and art displayed. Old and new faces streamed in and out of the boutique as folks celebrated the new space and satiated their suppressed appetites for rebellious readings.
