How’s about some New Orleans music to wind down your weekend?

Every Sunday from 5-8pm throughout July and August (it started two weeks ago), DJ Says Pitalo will be spinning New Orleans R&B oldies from artists like Irma Thomas, Fats Domino, Earl King, Larry Williams, Dr. John, the Meters, the Neville Brothers, and more at the Fifth Estate Bar (506 Fifth Avenue) in Park Slope. Free andouille sausage and excellent bloody marys also help ease out the weekend’s craziness…

Says Pitalo, the NOLA DJ: “I grew up just east of New Orleans, and my family currently lives there. I miss it, so when I noticed that there’s an interest in New Orleans culture in New York, I started an afternoon party that’s one part hangover cure, one part booty shake, and one part old-school musicology. I’m seeing an great mix of folks coming out, so I thought it might be something that “Only The Blog Knows Brooklyn” would be interested in.”
