Lincoln Beach On this day in New Orleans May 25, 1939 and May 25, 2021

Founded in 1939, Lincoln Beach opened to the black public in 1941; the beach was one of the few places where black residents could find relief from the New Orleans summer heat.
Since the closure of Lincoln beach in 1963, there’s hope that Lincoln Beach will once again be a place for future generations to create memories, thanks to a group of cultural bearers who founded New Orleans for Lincoln Beach Foundation.

Local Review of The Paddlewheeler Creole Queen

The boat ride was a relaxing two-hour ride; if i was on a date, I might say romantic especially being on deck as the sunset. As a local, the cruise enabled me to appreciate the city’s beauty from a different viewpoint. On the other hand, it was a night cruise…The menu consisted of New Orleans favorites such as Jambalaya, Shrimp Pasta, Gumbo, Red Beans & Rice, Cajun Baked Chicken, Roast Beef Debris, ith the dessert option being Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce.
