Dusk tightens around Rampart Street and the air fills with the sharp perfume of garlic, citrus and hot spice—soundtracks of brass and a guitar drift from an open doorway. You meet on the sidewalk in front of Grand Pre Bar, trade salutations, then Mister Gregory turns a backyard boil into a communal ritual: shrimp steaming off a galvanized pot, music urging the crowd forward.
