Just this evening, my partner and I attempted to return home after a long gig day. However, our attempts were thwarted when driving down our street and we encountered cones at the intersection of Clouet and Dauphine. Seeing there was a crowd down the block, we rerouted and attempted to access our home via Royal and Louisa, but were stopped by a man with a white van who had blocked off the street. We convinced the man to move his van, stating we're residents of the block and needed to park and access our home. After encountering a line of city trashcans blocking Royal Street halfway down the block between Louisa and Clouet, we were able to safely navigate through a parting crowd, eventually making a left onto Clouet. IF the Tigerman Den had alerted residents who lived in close proximity to their venue of events and (unauthorized) street closures, this review may not have appeared on The Tigermen Yelp page. However, this is not the only infraction committed by the venue. Within the recent years, the Den has allowed cars to park too close to the intersection of Royal and Clouet streets, thus obstructing the view of both drivers and pedestrians. Our neighbors have contacted the Den via Instagram to alert the to the safety hazard presented with no avail. Having permits and official public safety personnel onsite for events like the one tonight are imperative to ensure the safety of attendees and residents. The Den ought to consider pursuing these legitimacies for future events.

Matthew and Phinnie were so incredibly helpful not just day-of but throughout the entire planning process. They even helped us coordinate having our ceremony at the cute Clouet Gardens directly across the street. The space was perfect for our size wedding (about 80 people) and they provided almost everything (tables, chairs, water coolers, bar carts, etc.) and had a full kitchen we were able to use. Matthew had sent us a blueprint of the Den as well as an inventory list ahead of time which was extremely helpful when figuring out exactly what else we needed and where everything should go. It also allowed us to keep our costs down. That being said, we were also very thankful they let us stock our own bar and did not require us to use their preferred caterer like most venues do. We were able to have the kegs on the back porch, the bar stocked with our favorite spirits and the pizza stacked ceiling high - just like we had hoped! Other things we were very happy with was the amount of street parking around this area. My dad was worried about this in particular and thought we would need to hire valet but we decided not to and we had no trouble whatsoever. Also because the venue is so charming, we didn't have to do very much decorating; again, keeping the costs down. They allowed us to hire an attendant (who kept the bathrooms stocked and picked up after guests, keeping the area clean throughout the night) and a bartender through them which was very convenient. We were glad they had SONOS speakers throughout the venue, as well as on the back porch, since we worked hard on our reception playlist and was able to play it off our iPad without having to source a PA system. It goes without saying that I would high recommend the Tigermen Den for any event - big or small!

So much fun to visit City Park in New Orleans on the first day of Spring. (It's actually one of the…read moreplaces that I visit almost every trip to New Orleans.) The park is sprawling. Covering 1300 acres, it is one of the largest urban parks in the US. Bike trails, walking trails, museums, restaurants, sculpture gardens, botanicals gardens and an amusement park for kids. What more could you want? Love art? Check out NOMA. This is often on my agenda. Love the rotating exhibits, Newcomb pottery and collection of impressionist paintings. I use my Graycliff annual pass for reciprocal admission fees. Bonus: One of my besties works here! Want art outdoors? The newly expanded sculpture garden is so beautiful and free to explore. Frank Stella. Yaacov Agam. Beverly Pepper. Take a photo with LOVE by Robert Indiana. Don't sit on Bear with Us by Frank Gehry. Feel free to walk across the Mississippi Meaders Bridge. Take a selfie in the Mirrors Labyrinth. Love to talk a walk here. Sorry, GiGi. No dogs allowed. Love flowers? If you are lucky, you may see tulips or wildflowers. Or visit the New Orleans Botanic Garden. It's also included on the Graycliff Martin annual reciprocal pass. The garden is filled with azaleas, camellias and beds of roses. Love the native Louisiana raised vegetable beds and the butterfly garden. Sit under the oaks on a park bench or a swing to take a rest. Like art? Explore the large collection of Enrique Alfarez sculptures spread throughout the garden. Hungry? Thirsty? This is the best place to visit Cafe du Monde. No lines and the parking is free and so much easier than the quarter. Order a cafe au lait or a hot chocolate with a plate of beignets. Then grab a table with a green umbrella outside to enjoy the sunshine and the famous oak trees in the park. City Park has one of the largest collections of Live Oak trees in the world. Have a kid? Or just feel like a kid? Storyland is so cute! Created by Mardi Gras float makers, it is a New Orleans classic full of whimsy. Peter Pan, Pinocchio, Mother Goose. It is filled with fairy tale and nursery rhyme classics. Fun fact: New Orleans City Park is one of the largest parks in the US. At 1,300 square acres it is almost twice as large as New York's Central Park which is just a little over 800 square acres and does not make the top twenty for size. (But Central Park is still amazing, too!) Parking is free. Or come by streetcar. It stops near NOMA. Thanks for the free flowers on the first day of spring.

I was most impressed with the event planner...KSoiree Koordinated Events. Ms K put together a well planned event with perfect decorations, well planned placement and distinction of all areas. There was nothing left to guessing. She carefully planned out seat assignments, food arrangements, signature cocktails, photo station, music and dance floor. The photographer also understood the assignment, he danced and hyped the crowd up for creative, but natural pictures. KSoiree Kreations also took care of transportation, black sprinters picked us up at our hotel and delivered us to this beautiful space. The party was thoughtful for all the guest.

It was truly a love letter to the city, full of colorful, unique, and creative art exhibitions, all made out of recycled materials (which I found to be impressive and admirable)! There was a curated playlist of amazing jazz music playing throughout, which really set the tone delightfully! Upon entering, guests are welcomed into the space and there was a personable and helpful guide who described the space, then led us into the opening rooms. The first one was blue with neon pink, green, and glowing, with letters, symbols, and TV screens, comprising of one big puzzle. The next is a long hallway of hot pink with blue detailing and lights throughout, along with cool protruding, spongy shapes representing organs on the walls. Very psychedelic vibes! This led into a large space with sculptures of a larger than life alligator mouth open wide, creature atop a huge pot with the words "Stir the Pot," crawfish, tall lily pads, insect jazz band, peacock and more. There was also a cool, pretty flower wall, and upon closer inspection, I discovered they were made out of records. From there, I headed upstairs to see the blue, purple, and pink room holding the gorgeous Fountain of Youth glowing bright blue, filled with gold coins in them for wishes. The ceiling was lush and leafy with a lovely hanging light, as well as a pearly oyster shell inspired one. In addition, there was a shotgun style house with a balcony we could go in. Back downstairs, I explored a bar neon colored words related to New Orleans all over the walls, with upside down piano & drinks. Next, I checked out a decorative white a black room, featuring a glowing green stand. With the press of a button, it turned the room disco-y blue with a glow in the dark effect. After that, I went into the beautiful Desire themed room with humongous pearl structures hanging down, where you can write and release your true desires. Such a dreamy, ethereal feel to this one! There was a little sleek and sexy speakeasy space, called Candlelight Lounge. Then was one of my favorite exhibits: Feast Mode, displaying glittery New Orleans culinary delight classics in true indulgent style, as well as super funky, fun paintings and art pieces. Near this room was a window with full of shiny, delicately constructed objects of vibrant colors representing New Orleans. This was a glitzy video opp with props offered, with the phone going in the center, spinning around and capturing us dancing, shimmying, or whatever suits your fancy! The remaining few installations were music themed with drums and large silver circles, which could be played, emitting different sounds to create a symphony of song. At the end, there was a room showcasing larger than life sculptures of heads of musical greats, including Louis Armstrong, Lil Wayne, and Big Freedia. I really enjoyed my time here. Staff were super welcoming, accommodating, and helpful with photos throughout. The artistry, detail, and care was visible throughout each and every art piece and room.

She was excited the whole time, and honestly so was I. It's one of those places where you can actually enjoy it as an adult and still let your kid have their moment too. We definitely got some really cute pictures, so if you're into that, you're going to love it. It's very "stop, pose, next room, do it again" in the best way. It's not a super long experience, but it's worth it. I'd say give yourself about an hour, maybe a little longer if you're taking your time with photos. Only tip is try to go when it's not too crowded, because some people really turn it into a full photoshoot and you'll be waiting a little. Overall, I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you have kids or just want something different to do in the city.
