These people should all be drawn & quartered.
Last paragraph is clutch though.

“New Orleans is not cosmopolitan,” said the actress Tara Elders. “There’s no kale here.”
...
Music really flows through the veins of the town, like where we are going tonight,” Mr. Huisman said, referring to the United Mardi Gras Indian Practice. “It’s so true to itself and so African.
...
I know several writers who have begun making pilgrimages down to New Orleans to shake off the New York grind.
...
garnished with fresh herbs and shouted cheerily at each other over enthusiastic accordion music about the influence on all New Orleans artists of what Ms. McCalla called the “many amazing aspects of black culture represented here.”
...
She lives in an apartment where her landlord is a voodoo priestess
...
“Sorry I didn’t make it to Thanksgiving,” she called out. “I saw pictures of the smoked gator on Facebook.
...
“We arrived at 4 in the morning in a deep fog in the Garden District,” she recalled. “In my mind there were beautiful vampires on vine-strewn balconies.”

The quotes you provided all seemed positive to me.

Is this about New Orleans culture? Does other cities have a culture?
Eta: What's kale?

Has this broad ever been to the Rouses on Tchoup? Plenty of kale there, but I'm sure this actress hasn't ever left he Bywater bodegas to go shop somewhere else because Rouses or Winn Dixie isn't "authentic" enough.
The article made it sound like New Orleans is composed of hipsters, Mardi Gras Indians, and former anthropology major faux-bohemians.

Houston has Kale...

My dad used to bake kale in the oven and make "kale chips." Just add a little salt/pepper or vinegar/soy. Delicious and nutritious snack.

Well, they do have a point in this regard. This philosophy seems to be universally accepted only in New Orleans. It is...frustrating to say the very least.

Taken in context of the whole paragraph, the kale comment isn't bad. They're just saying that New Orleans is unique and marches to the beat of it's own drum.
Now this:
is a stupid comment
Now this:

“So many of the cool places here are really rundown,” she said. “And not because a stylist designed them that way.”

And being Dutch, she's probably down for whatever.
I'd find her some kale on the "internet" (whatever that is.)

Sucks for New Orleans to be in a shithole state called Louisiana . Should be its own state
