Hey, New Orleans! Here's everything you need to know to get this Tuesday started off right.

First, today's weather:

Partly sunny. High: 68 Low: 50.

Here are the top three stories in New Orleans today:

  1. A Thibodaux man was killed in three-vehicle crash in Metairie on Sunday morning. The crash is still under investigation. (Houma Courier)
  2. A woman was shot and killed in Harvey on Sunday afternoon. She was pronounced dead on the scene when officers arrived, and there has been no update on information about the investigation or motive. (WWLTV.com)
  3. A parade tractor ran over a man's leg at Endymion on Saturday. New Orleans EMS posted that the man was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. The incident occured at the intersection of Canal and North Roman. No further information on the man's condition is available at this time. (WBRZ)

Looking for a healthy alternative to that mid-week glass (or three) of wine? Our partners at Betera set out to create beverages that were sophisticated and flavorful enough to drink at cocktail hour but with zero hangover risk. (Their motto is "Drink like there's tomorrow.") Betera's drinks are designed by a Michelin-starred chef using natural botanicals — they're lightly effervescent, sippable, refreshingly bitter and at home in a stem glass or in a highball on the rocks. Betera offers three recipes — Rhubarb-Hibiscus, Elderflower-Lime and Ginger-Orange. We've tried all three and loved them equally — we recommend the mixed case as a great place to start. Betera has extended their 15% discount on first orders to Daily readers, in appreciation for the enthusiastic response so far. Enter Patch15 at checkout and https://bit.ly/TryBetera.

Today in New Orleans:

  • Spark Golf New Orleans (5:30 PM)
  • Tulane University Baseball at Southeastern Louisiana University (6:00 PM)

From my notebook:

  • Two Tulane medical students got engaged this weekend with help of Muses. A bedazzeled shoe with the words "will you marry me Carrie?" was thrown to the couple. You can watch the video here. (WDSU New Orleans)
  • McDonogh 35 will become a film set during this Mardi Gras break. The filming is weather dependent but there will be no parking near the school on Wednesday and Thursday this week. (Gentilly Messenger)
  • New Orleans gas prices could worsen with Russia-Ukraine conflict. Prices are alredy 28 cents higher per gallon than they were last month. (FOX 8 Live WVUE)
