Op-Ed: BNA Responds to Neighbors' Markey Park Complaints The Bywater Neighborhood Association Board responded to an op-ed written by a Bywater resident last week that argued nearby residents were left out of the planning process for renovations at Markey Park. According to BNA, the space was never sanctioned for off-leash dog use. Click through to read the full response: Today in New Orleans 11.03.12 From Audubon Zoo to Chartres and Montegut, festivals are offering revelers New Orleans' traditional food and music all day. Hop on your bike for the Alley Cat Bike Race meeting at Jackson Square, and see Les Mis tonight in the Tremé. Happy Birthday to local jazz legend John Boutte, born November 3, 1958. Now, a roundup of Saturday’s events. Mirliton Festival Gets Country Club Kickoff, with Daiquiris by Emma Boyce It's almost time for the annual Bywater party that celebrates neighborhood ties and local vegetables: the Mirliton Festival. But before spreading out in Markey Park, fest fans are invited to relax poolside with a daiq. Tonight is the Mirliton Festival Kickoff Party, which aims to get everyone prepared for Mirliton madness, and introduce the world to a signature, delicious daiquiri: the Bywater Bomber. The party is hosted by the Bywater Neighborhood Association, and aims to continue the fest's mission of celebrating the rich Bywater culture. Bywater Celebrates 10,000th Post-Flood Tree This Week by Brad Rhines More and more folks have been putting down roots in New Orleans during recent years, as groups have branched out around the city in a commitment to expanding local green spaces. On Thursday, neighbors will gather in the Bywater to celebrate the planting of the 10,000th tree since the storm and floods of 2005 marred many of New Orleans’ landscapes. Mirliton MadnessBywater Festival Strikes a Gourd with Locals In Mexico folks call it chayote, and in the Caribbean it goes by christophene, but down in south Louisiana we know it as the mirliton. Whatever you call it, this little fruit is a big deal to many locals, though its reputation in the U.S. doesn’t extend far beyond the Gulf South.
