Here are some essential links for people who watched episode 1 of Treme:

• Mardi Gras Indians
• Second line parades
• Jazz funeral
• Hubigs Pies (I’ve had them, they’re very good for a mass produced fried pie)
• The much-mentioned OPP is a reference to the Orleans Parish Prison
• Kermit Ruffins
• Donald Harrison (the sax player in the New York bar)
• Lionel Batiste

Update: I forgot to note Brocato’s ice cream parlor.
