On today’s show, we visit the Mother-In-Law Lounge on Claiborne Avenue in the Treme for set of music by the Tin Men, followed by the New Orleans Nightcrawlers, a brass band with serious chops.

On this week’s culinary crossroads, we visit the Blue Plate Café for a taste of Peanutty Slaw.  On our new segment entitled "Whatcha Gonna Do," we visit an art market for holiday gifts.
