The Beauty That Surrounds Us

May 10, 2016
Close your eyes and picture yourself in an open air café on the Avenue de Champs Elysée or maybe in a quaint courtyard of a Paris café….then open your eyes and you are there! The Vieux Carre has all the charm of our European friends and so much more…. romance fills the air with sounds of Jazz, birds singing, and the smell of fresh-brewed chicory coffee…..as only the French Quarter can deliver. The Courtyards of the French Quarter are private, lush, and teaming with nature, and are as important as the walls that surround them. Our balconies are adorned with baskets of seasonal flowers, small café tables, and, yes, even a Mardi Gras bead or two! So whether you are dining in one of our many romantic courtyards, sitting on a balcony overlooking the beauty and charm of the Quarter, or in an outdoor café listing to music and eating one of our famous poboys, you will leave New Orleans with lasting memories…savoring the flavors of the Vieux Carre.

This issue is dedicated with love and lasting memories, to my mother, Evelyn G. Cohn 5/28/32 - 4/14/16.
