David was very helpful despite our eleventh hour insanity, and was even willing to send the duo out without having received our second contract. He contracts some really excellent musicians (email me if you want to hear about the quartet that played our reception--seriously fantastic group), and was prompt and responsive to our every question.

SCALE New Orleans is my favorite place to get work done and socialize with great people. Yes! You…read morecan do both! I recently returned to the great city of New Orleans and quickly realized that my very humble abode was not going to be very conducive to getting work done. So the search for a co-working space began. After almost 4 years of working remotely, I wasn't sure I would like returning to an office environment, but SCALE has been great. Perks of working from SCALE: * Members get 24/7 access and it's very secure! * Some of the desks have monitors! No more hunching at your laptop. * Telephone booths and conference rooms when you need a bit more privacy. * Well climatized - perfect for the summer heat or sweater weather. * The space is filled with plants; windows; local art; free espresso and coffee; and just the right amount of white noise. There's even a rooftop terrace just outside the kitchen. * The other members are friendly! They will talk to you if you want and respect you if you have jump on a call or get work done. * They will take deliveries for you. No more worrying about porch pirates. * Lyle, the owner, is often on-site and really cares about us. (awwwww) * There's even a shower! (But if you need a hairdryer, be sure to bring your own). Other things I've noticed - people are very friendly and welcoming. This is a place where you can come as you are. The diversity in the people make SCALE reflect some of their FLOR rug designs - they don't necessarily all coordinate, but somehow it works and looks good (see pic). Your network can really expand here as there are so many people with different work and life backgrounds. I did visit other coworking spaces, but the atmosphere was not as welcoming and felt a bit sterile. Couple that with too much hard concrete surfaces and I knew there would be an issue with noise. Come visit SCALE for a tour & check it out yourself! If you see me, introduce yourself and let me know you read my review! See you soon!

My oh my!!!! Where…read moreshall I begin. This place & Lyle are a godsend. As if being a NEW entrepreneur + FIRST time inventor, wasn't enough. Throw in manufacturing why dontcha? Well ok so there's the quandary... how + where do I make these things? Well here is Lyle + Scale Workspace to render me aid. This place is a hidden gem in "THE NOLA BABY", I mean just think of it... if you can put on your thinking cap, then you can come here, construct a mold & create it. That's how it happened for me. Picture it: -God gave me an idea -Lyle + his team brought it to manifestation. Just that simple. Once you know the direction (to creating a thing), you can head here. Lyle + his team are simply the best, better than all the rest... y'all know the Tina Tuner song, don't try to fool me now. At any rate, taking a tour is ESSENTIAL!!! As it adds sheer excitement to the endless possibilities of the things you can create here. There's an area to co-work and use computers. There's an area to make & receive private phone calls. There's an area to get your eat on, fashioned with all of the niftiest gadgets & appliances. There's a place to shower, should the need arise; say if you ride a bike in or if you even if you need a quick pick me up. There's an area to make, create & bring your vision to life. There's a rooftop area that is quaint & perfect to take a little siesta. There's an area to get your Shutterfly on; taking photos is essential to share any work of art. And the great thing about all these areas and many more, is that they come with MEMBERSHIP. Man oh man, talk about "membership having its privileges..." I love it. Oh and did I tell you have access whenever you want, I mean I don't know if overnight is an option, but if it is, you have the ability to gain access with the touch of your finger. Yep!!! No keys needed... your very own biometrics will give you access to the tools & skills lab you need to create. I've been advised of the parking beneath the bridge or you can park alongside the street and use the parking meters, FYI. I plan to utilize the amenities here to create and create and create some more. BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR MORE NEW PRODUCTS FROM ME, YOUR FRIENDLY YELP-ELITE INVENTOR!!!

Let's swing, baby, swing! Rhythmic Arts Center is a dance studio, but it's also so much more…read more The current schedule reveals an array of dance classes including swing, African dance, Zydeco, belly dance, Pilates, yoga, kids martial arts and kickboxing. They host several dance troupes in town, including Gris Gris Strut, the NOLA Jitterbugs and my favorite, The NOLA Chorus Girls Project, of which I was a member for a hot second before realizing my travel schedule wouldn't permit me to participate regularly. I can't attest to the awesomeness of all of the teachers/classes, however what I love about this studio are the gorgeous wood floors (nice to dance on!) and wall-to-wall mirrors (nice to spot to yourself when doing spinny spins etc. and admire/clean-up your form). It also feels very much like a community space, with very reasonable rental rates for private lessons and if you would like to offer up a class yourself. St. Claude needs more fantastic businesses like this one! It's time to move, friends! Take a look at the website and take a chance on one of the classes that sparks your interest. Hell, they even have Zumba and isn't that all the rage these days?

Here you will find coffee roasters, photographers, painters and all types of other artists. I love this post because it's secluded, safe and private, has plenty of parking, and everyone here is respectful and quiet. There's a kitchen area, if you want to fix something to eat or keep drinks cold and there's even a dark room for film development. It's a wonderful space and I always enjoy working here.
