Mayor Mitch Landrieu finishes New York City Marathon in just over 5 hours | NOLA.com

Mayor Mitch Landrieu was probably glad there won't be a runoff after his latest race. After months of early morning training, the 51-year-old city chief finished the New York City marathon. The mayor wore a "Forever New Orleans" T-shirt during the race that was designed by Quintin Good, the owner of Purple Monkey Design in Bywater. Landrieu made the race's iconic start over Staten Island's Verrazano-Narrows Bridge with Mary Beth Romig, the city's director of public relations and special projects.

William P. O'Donnell/The New York Times

For at least 15 years, Zabar’s, the Upper West Side grocery with the big crowds and even bigger prices, sold that as lobster salad — thousands and thousands of pounds of it, by itself in a plastic tub or on a bagel or a roll. Apparently no one noticed. Then Doug MacCash, a reporter from The Times-Picayune of New Orleans, stopped at Zabar’s while vacationing in Manhattan last month...

Michelle V. Agins/The New York Times

The Rebirth Brass Band finishing up its set at Brooklyn
Bowl on Thursday night amid energized fans.

The Rebirth Brass Band ended its full-throttle show at Brooklyn Bowl on Thursday night more or less swarmed, yielding the stage to an eager throng.

The Greatful Dead with a New Orleans accent | The Record, Troy, New York

7 Walkers – that plays Revolution Hall in Troy tonight is the Dead reborn with a New Orleans accent. 7 Walkers covers Dead standards like "Deal," "Bertha" and "Warf Rat," and Dead lyricist Robert Hunter has written at least one album’s worth of new songs for the fledgling group. But the singer/lead guitarist Papa Mali is a New Orleans native, and the bass player is George Porter from one of the Crescent City’s premier bands, The Meters.
