NATIONAL BAGELFEST DAY
National Bagelfest Day on July 26 recognizes the kosher carbohydrate that is crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Join us as we explore the delicious facts behind the bagel and add our own schmeer to the topic.
Polish-Jewish immigrants introduced the bagel to the United States some time during the 19th century. Throughout New York City and the surrounding boroughs, they grew thriving bagel businesses. Of course, it didn't take long for the bagel bakers to form an organization for bagel bakers in the city. The International Beigel Bakers' Union was created in 1907. For decades, Bagel Bakers Local 338 held contracts with nearly all bagel bakeries in and around the city for its workers.
Until the 1960s, bakeries made bagels by hand. Then Daniel Thompson invented the bagel maker and along came a heated debate of man versus the machine. Thereafter, the question of the better bagel dangled before customers. Was it the handcrafted bagel or the manufactured bagel?
The bagel became more common throughout North America during the last quarter of the 20th century. Credit for the bagels' spread across the country goes in part to the efforts of bagel baker Harry Lender, his son, Murray Lender, and Florence Lender. Their pioneering efforts led to the automated production and distribution of frozen bagels in the 1960s. Murray also invented pre-slicing the bagel.

NATIONAL DISABILITY INDEPENDENCE DAY
National Disability Independence Day on July 26 commemorates the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26th, 1990. The day not only celebrates the anniversary of the ADA but it also serves as a way to bring awareness and brake down barriers individuals with disabilities faced every day.
The ADA provides protection from employment discrimination as well as better access to goods, services, and communications for people with disabilities. Today's National Day marks a timeline of change that has developed overtime. In fact, each change improves mobility and safety for people with disabilities.
Beyond structural changes, the ADA Act has motivated designers to enhanced technology. Often, physical limitations restrict a person's ability to access legal or health information. New assistive technologies make it possible to obtain the necessary information. As accessibility improves, the world continues to change in other ways.
Many of today's brick and mortar businesses are ADA compliant. However, more and more businesses switch to online versions. Those websites need to meet the needs to be accessible, too. With each advancement in technology, designers need to incorporate multifunctional approaches to fit every ability. Celebrate the freedom the ADA inspires with forward-thinking design and technology.

Washington VS Oregon With Washington State located just north of Oregon along the Pacific Ocean, one might assume that these 2 wine growing regions would be similar, but in reality, Oregon and Washington State could not be more opposite! Most of Oregon’s wineries are in the west, in Willamette Valley. This rainy and cool climate encourages Oregon winemakers to specialize in cool weather, thin-skinned grapes like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Riesling. In Washington, instead of the majority of wines being in the west near Seattle, the wines are actually grown on the other side of the Cascade Mountain range in the hot, desert climate of the east side of the state. This immediately makes the conditions for the wine growing regions in these states polar opposites. Washington winemakers are growing thicker, bolder grapes that need a lot of hot sunlight to ripen, while Oregon is famous for the lighter, cool climate varieties - so rest assured, there will be something for everyone in this tasting!
We got inspired to do this tasting because David Sobiesk is touring wineries in the Pacific Northwest over the next 2 weeks so we'll be choosing wines from the places he is visiting. He's anxious to share his knowledge and delicious wines with us!
The event is sold out, but you can join our waitlist here, Pacific NW
Learn a little, drink a little and have some fun with us!
Sunday's & Ancora Pizza! PIZZA PIZZA PIZZA!! Here’s the deal - lucky for us, Bryn, owner of Ancora, is a swirl fan and is delivering 10 pizzas with various toppings at 12:30 on Sunday, first come first served. So if you want a hot pizza for the whopping price of $10, come at 12:30, buy a glass of wine and settle down in the AC. Just want a slice? $3 each. The only rule (we hate rules) is that you eat your pizza in-house while drinking our wine. Pretty simple…please respect the rule :)

NATIONAL COFFEE MILKSHAKE DAY
Add National Coffee Milkshake Day on July 26 and coffee lovers to those who participate in National Ice Cream Month. Today, we are whipping up a caffeinated way to cooly celebrate one of the hottest times of the year.
While a milkshake sounds refreshing at the end of July, a coffee milkshake sounds even better. The combination of creamy ice cream blended with coffee perks up even the most extended workday. Add chocolate, and this treat becomes a mocha, too!
For those of you dreaming of autumn, you're allowed to mix up a pumpkin spice latte version, too. However, you're not allowed to tell anyone we gave you permission. And those dreaming of Christmas in July, go ahead mix up a peppermint mocha milkshake. Again, you didn't hear it from us. It is July after all. If you're going to go for a flavored coffee milkshake, may we make a suggestion? Since it's summer, the s'more is an iconic summer coffee flavor.
While we're flexible, let's also be generous and invite others to your milkshake-making party. We Celebrate Every Day® this way, sharing all the best coffee-blends from espresso and caramel to dark chocolate and toffee.

Old Historical Pictures
History Backup
Title: "Solitude in Struggle: A Mother and Child Amidst Hardship, 1938"
In the year 1938, against the backdrop of a lonely field, a woman and her child found themselves ensnared in the grip of poverty and hardship. Dorothea Lange's lens captured their plight, offering a poignant glimpse into the struggles faced by many during this tumultuous time in American history.
The date of 1938 serves as a stark reminder of the challenges that marked this era, as the Great Depression cast its long shadow over the nation. In the photograph, the woman's weary gaze speaks volumes, her expression etched with the weight of her burdens.
With her child by her side, the woman navigates the harsh realities of life in poverty, their meager belongings a testament to their humble existence. In the barren landscape of the field, they stand alone, isolated from the comforts and conveniences of society.
Yet, amidst the desolation, there is a quiet strength in the woman's eyes—a resilience born of necessity and survival. Though living in poor conditions, she carries herself with dignity and grace, determined to provide for her child despite the odds stacked against them.
As they traverse the lonely field, the woman's love for her child shines through, a beacon of hope amidst the darkness of their circumstances. In her embrace, the child finds solace and security, their bond a testament to the power of maternal love in the face of adversity.
As the date of 1938 fades into history, the woman and her child remain a haunting reminder of the struggles faced by so many during this difficult time. Their story serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a call to action to ensure that no mother or child should ever have to endure such hardship alone.

We're happy to bring a piece of the past back to WYES . GREAT CHEFS OF NEW ORLEANS, the vintage TV series that began WYES’ legacy of award-winning nationally broadcast cooking shows, returns to the station – 40 years after its debut. Tune in Saturdays at 1pm. The original 26 episodes of GREAT CHEFS OF NEW ORLEANS will air on WYES, followed by other episodes of the multi-part series every Saturday.
Thanks to executive producer John Shoup for sharing the series (produced and directed by the late John Beyer) with us. It begins Saturday in the kitchen of the legendary Chef Warren Leruth, and you'll see many other local icons below in the weeks to come. For all the episodes, the distinctive voices of Mary Lou Conroy and Andres Calandria narrate, with original music from the Charlie Byrd Trio, the Dukes of Dixieland and Banu Gibson.

THE DOOKY CHASE KITCHEN: LEAH’S LEGACY cooking series celebrates Leah Chase, the “Queen of Creole Cuisine.”
The 26-part cooking series, produced by WYES-TV in New Orleans, was shot on location at Dooky Chase’s Restaurant with dishes prepared by younger generations of the Chase family who have led the restaurant since Leah’s death in 2019.
Viewers will meet Leah’s grandson, Edgar “Dook” Chase IV, who now oversees the restaurant’s kitchen; her niece Cleo Robinson, who joined Leah in the kitchen in 1980; and the restaurant’s newest chef, Leah’s great-granddaughter Zoe Chase. Paired with some of the menus are specialty cocktails crafted by Leah’s granddaughter Eve Marie Haydel, the restaurant’s beverage manager who has updated drink recipes from the restaurant’s earlier days. Granddaughter Chase Kamata narrates. Each 30-minute episode explores a new take on Creole classics and a different chapter of the restaurant’s history.
See it every Saturday at 10am & Sundays at 11:30am.
Watch on WYES-TV and stream on wyes.org/live and on the WYES and PBS Apps. Out of WYES’ viewing area? Contact your local public television station for air dates. For a limited time, see new episodes with WYES Passport.

Comedy House New Orleans
The most unique comedy show in New Orleans is The Open Mic From Hell, hosted by Chris Trew (as seen on MTV, Comedy Central, America's Got Talent)
CHNO ( Comedy house New Orleans)
609-610 Fulton St
New Orleans, LA 70130
Mon, July 15
8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
(Entry at 7:30 pm)
The Open Mic From Hell is the most unique night of comedy in New Orleans.
Everything about the show is chaotic and unpredictable in the most beautifully hilarious way.
The list of performers? A total mystery.
The jokes they’ll tell? Nobody knows, not even them.
How does it work? Comedians sign-up on the list an hour before showtime. At least 13 names get pulled out of the bucket.
When a name gets pulled they come on stage and make a choice - do they do an entirely new set based on words from the audience, or a special challenge set.
Past challenges have had comics doing their set outside on the street, with noise canceling headphones on, and with a designated heckler in the crowd. We are always adding new, improved, and ridiculous challenges to the show.

For total beginners to swing dancing or dancing of any kind. Also for those looking to refresh their basics and learn some ragtime dances.

7:30-8:30 Lindy Hop Vocab - Intermediate Level
This class is gonna give you some must know moves, some technique, some philosophy, and of course, we'll continue to clarify and polish up your swing outs.

LSU Athletics is proud to announce its year-long celebration of 100 Years in Tiger Stadium, highlighted by stadium upgrades, events, storytelling initiatives, and a season-long celebration throughout the 2024 campaign.
Tiger Stadium, one of America’s most iconic sporting venues, first opened its gates on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1924. Since then, the Tigers have won 450 contests in Death Valley, which has been home to two Heisman Trophy winners, four national championship teams, and 12 SEC title-winning squads.
Included in the celebration are several upgrades to Tiger Stadium, including a new videoboard and lighting system, as well as other upgrades designed to enhance the game day experience. Other events and celebrations will be announced throughout the year.
The 2024 home schedule features several marquee matchups, including home contests against Oklahoma, UCLA, and Alabama. Information on the full 2024 schedule and season tickets will be announced in the coming weeks.
One of the most legendary stadiums in all of college football, Tiger Stadium has been called “the best place in the world to watch a sporting event” by ESPN and “the pound-for-pound king of noise in college football.”
Entering its centennial season in 2024, Tiger Stadium has been a cornerstone of LSU Athletics and the Louisiana community for almost a century, hosting numerous NFL superstars, Heisman Trophy winners, and Hall of Famers since its opening in 1924. It serves as a sporting, cultural, and commercial hub for LSU Athletics, which contributes an estimated $500 million of economic activity for the state of Louisiana annually.

Another big piece of the Saints 2024 schedule has officially been finalized, with dates and times established for each of the Saints' three preseason games.
The team will have its first two preseason games out west due to their training camp being held in Irvine, California.
Here's how the slate shapes up:
- P1, Aug. 10 (Saturday): Saints at Arizona Cardinals, 7 p.m. (FOX/Gray TV)
- P2, Aug. 18: Saints at San Francisco 49ers, 7 p.m. (FOX)

The Saints will kick off their preseason slate with a Saturday night game, and also start an hour later than a typical Sunday kick in the finale, hosted at the Caesars Superdome.

The Saints announced Monday that the two sessions will take place Aug. 20 and Aug. 23 at Yulman Stadium at Tulane University and at Caesars Superdome, respectively. The times of the practices and fan information will be revealed later.
The announcement came as part of the Saints’ unveiling of their training camp schedule. With the Saints holding camp at the University of California, the Saints will leave for Irvine on Monday, July 22 and stay out west until Aug. 19.
When in Irvine, the Saints will hold two days joint practices with the San Francisco 49ers on Aug. 15 and Aug. 16 in leadup to their Aug. 18 preseason showdown at San Francisco. The Saints also have another preseason game a week earlier, when they travel to Arizona to face the Cardinals on Aug. 10.
The Saints are holding their camp in California this year because of construction updates to their practice facility in Metairie. The team is building a new cafeteria, which is expected to be completed in the fall. Saints officials have said the team’s camp in Irvine will be a one-off, with the plan to have camp at the team’s facility next year.
Practices begin Wednesday, July 24.

2024 Full Moon schedule
(all times Eastern)
- Aug. 19 — 2:26 p.m. — Sturgeon Moon
- Sept. 17 — 10:34 p.m. — Corn Moon
- Oct. 17 — 7:26 a.m. — Hunter’s Moon
- Nov. 15 — 4:28 p.m. — Beaver Moon
- Dec. 15 — 4:02 a.m. Cold Moon
Sturgeon Moon (August): Named after the abundant sturgeon fish.
Corn Moon (September): Signifying the corn harvesting period.
Hunter’s Moon (October): Commemorating the hunting season preceding winter.
Beaver Moon (November): Reflects the time when beavers are busy building their winter dams.
Cold Moon (December): Evocative of winter’s chill.
In addition, there are a few additional names for Full Moons that commonly make their way into public conversations and news.
Super Moon: This term is reserved for a Full Moon that aligns with the lunar perigee, which is the Moon’s nearest point to Earth in its orbit. This proximity renders the Full Moon unusually large and luminous. For a Full Moon to earn the Super Moon tag, it should be within approximately 90 percent of its closest distance to Earth.
Blue Moon: A Blue Moon is the second Full Moon in a month that experiences two Full Moons. This phenomenon graces our skies roughly every 2.7 years. Though the term suggests a color, Blue Moons aren’t truly blue. Very occasionally, atmospheric conditions such as recent volcanic eruptions might lend the Moon a slightly blueish tint, but this hue isn’t tied to the term.
Harvest Moon: Occurring closest to the autumnal equinox, typically in September, the Harvest Moon is often renowned for a distinct orange tint it might display. This Full Moon rises close to sunset and sets near sunrise, providing extended hours of bright moonlight. Historically, this was invaluable to farmers gathering their produce.

New Orleans: The New Orleans Jazz Museum is more than a building; it is a living embodiment of New Orleans Jazz culture and music in New Orleans. This is due to the vision of one person: Greg Lambousy, Executive Director of the New Orleans Jazz Museum.
Through Greg Lambousy and his staff’s efforts, the New Orleans Jazz Museum has become the epicenter of the New Orleans Jazz scene. From festivals like the Danny Barker Banjo and Guitar Festival, Satchmo Summerfest, Jazz on the Balcony, Weekly free Jazz performances, and the most significant exhibits relative to New Orleans and early Jazz history presented in the correct cultural context, the City of New Orleans.
To paraphrase the great Professor Longhair, “When you come to New Orleans, be sure to go see the New Orleans Jazz Museum.”.
Presentation, 7:30 PM, August 23 at the George and Joyce Wein Jazz & Heritage Center, 1225 N. Rampart St, NOLA. Free Admission RSVP preferred to: festguide@gmail
