Vogue recommends that people visit "during one of the lesser-known, more authentic local festivals, such as the New Orleans Wine and Food Experience, Bayou Country Superfest or Greek Fest."

I didn't know Bayou Country Superfest was secretly held in New Orleans the past few years. They sure built an awesome replica of Tiger Stadium.

"The revitalization of the Warehouse District is owed in no small part to the Ace (hotel), which opened in late 2015," Plummer writes.

That would be news to Emeril Lagasse, who kicked off the rebirth of the Warehouse District 27 years ago when he left Commander's Palace to open Emeril's in there.

And here is the kicker..... Vogue is owned by the same company who owns NOLA.com/Times Picayune. At least they could have gotten a native New Orleanian to write the article instead of looking like jackasses.

Emeril played a part certainly, but most credit the World's Fair (one of the few good things that came out of an otherwise massive boondoggle) and the conversion of several of the warehouses to apartments prior to Emeril's opening, for the general revival. That makes the statement about the Ace Hotel (which I would consider more in the CBD than Warehouse District anyway) no less preposterous.
