What do mythical creatures, craft cocktails, a Creole aristocrat and a vengeful father-in-law have to do with the development of Jackson Square?  THE PONTALBA EXPERIENCE AT THE CABILDO, 8.7.19 I recommend Country Roads Supper Club events as they're highly entertaining and delicious cultural events held in remarkable settings.  This upcoming Pontalba Experience on Saturday, September 7, offers an incredibly rare opportunity to dine in the upstairs gallery of the Cabildo - a magnificent Spanish Colonial building integrally tied, of course, to the Pontalba story....and then's there's the enchanting view overlooking Jackson Square! The evening is steeped in the 19th century...all tied to the Baroness de Pontalba and the Rise of Jackson Square Exhibition that closes in early October. Combine the unforgettable setting, theatrical performances on site, along with the artistry of Dickie Brennan's talented chefs and inspired drinks from his Tableau Restaurant, and you have a magical evening!

Consider reading Christina Vella's book, Intimate Enemies: The Two Worlds of the Baroness de Pontalba, in advance. You'll deepen your understanding of our state's rich history. Vella's book helped me recognize an opportunity to reconnect the Pontalba family back to New Orleans...thus helping to bring the Baroness de Pontalba and the Rise of Jackson Square Exhibition together in time for our Tricentennial Celebration. History continues to enrich my life and so much for the better! For more about my experience with the Pontalba family, visit: https://www.peterpatout.com/blog/climax-of-tricentennial-year!

That sounds like an interesting experience. Is it open to the public or a private event?

I'm a huge fan of James and Ashley Fox the editors and publishers of Country Roads Magazine. I had noticed that over the last year or so started hosting culturally focused events in fascinating locations with compelling themes/content. These are one-of events that you don't want to miss. So I bought a ticket to one held in New Roads and thought it to be exceptionally-well executed: from the content, location, and caliber of the food and drinks served. I also enjoyed meeting other fans of the publication. Again, this is a one of a kind event. Leave a Reply. |
