Hey, friends. We made it to Friday. Here's what's happening on NOLA.com. Oyster adventure: So your best oyster memories involve elbowing up to an bar, mixing a bit of horseradish and slurping back a dozen or two? Quaint! Dining guru Ian McNulty takes us on a high-dollar oyster adventure today that includes a seaplane and floating gourmet oyster bar. Pete Carmichael loves N.O.: As the Saints offense sputtered over the past couple of seasons, former offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael was often the focus of fans’ ire. The Saints fired Carmichael in January, but the man who spent 18 years with the Black & Gold tells Jeff Duncan he has nothing but fond memories of his time in the Big Easy. Take a break: The long Labor Day weekend is just about here. From Southern Decadence to a “last splash” at Audubon’s Cool Zoo, there’s lots going on. Newman’s NFL connection: Isidore Newman School's pipeline to the pros is alive and well. Marianna Salas is entering her second season on the Baltimore Ravens’ coaching staff, Rod Walker writes, continuing a path that includes the Manning brothers and Odell Beckham Jr. Did you get this newsletter forwarded from someone else?
