The air is cool, cookies are baking and guests are enjoying the sights and sounds of Christmas in New Orleans. Celebration in the Oaks is experiencing record crowds and there's even a 20-25 minute wait to get in! The "Miracle on Fulton Street" (faux snow created by the casino!) is apparently more fun than it sounds although we've not seen it in person! :-) And even the fantastic lobby of the Roosevelt Hotel is decked out in all the Christmas decor that made its predecessor, the Fairmont, a hot spot to visit during the holidays.
Our B&B is sold out (for the most part) for the next two weeks. Not surprisingly, today's nola.com and Times Picayune lead stories are about the resurgence of New Orleans as a holiday destination. Weather's good (or better than up north!), food is great and drinks are flowing...so why not?!?
Happy holidays to all of our friends, colleagues, and former (and future) guests!
