Vogue names Lewis Ginter one of the best U.S. botanical gardens
Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden is once again getting national acclaim. The big picture: With nearly 60,000 followers, its Instagram account is the 14th most followed among botanical gardens nationwide, per data from Sprout Social. New York Botanical Garden took the No. 1 spot with 334K, reports Axios' Maxwell Millington, but it's also in a city with over 8 million residents. Plus: Vogue also thinks we're cool. Last month, it ranked Lewis Ginter, which is just off Lakeside Avenue, one of the best botanical gardens in the U.S. The magazine cited its themed gardens, over 1,300 rose bushes and the famous 11,000-square-foot domed conservatory.

Super Bowl drinks: $40 specialty cocktails and $14 Bud Lights
Fans inside the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans are shelling out $14 for a draft Bud Light while they watch Super Bowl LIX. The big picture: One of the specialty cocktails in the Dome is going for $40. A 16-ounce bottle of Bud Light is $13, and bottles of Aquafina are $7 at concession stands. A fountain drink in a souvenir cup will set you back $12. Zoom out: The prices are a little higher than a regular Saints game. Last season, draft beer was $11.49 and cans were $14.99. Dasani bottled water was $5.29 and soda was $9.99. Zoom in: Super Bowl fans in the suites are eating the most expensive food — seafood towers, tomahawk steaks and sushi. See photos. Sodexo Live runs the Superdome's food and beverage program. The other side: It's cheaper to party at home, but those prices are climbing too, writes Axios' Ashley Mahoney.
