Christmas New Orleans Style

Dear Friends, It is a pleasure to welcome you to Christmas New Orleans Style, a month-long celebration of holiday feasting, soulstirring music, unique shopping, and heart-warming traditions. Christmas New Orleans Style is one of our premier events for the whole family, with special activities including Celebration in the Oaks in City Park, candlelight caroling in Jackson Square, free concerts at the Saint Louis Cathedral, the Krewe of Jingle Holiday Parade, a ‘Reindeer Run and Romp’ for kids, the annual Christmas Bonfire Party at Oak Alley Plantation, a “Festival of Trees” at the Louisiana Children’s Museum, and so much more! Let our city’s legendary chefs introduce you to the New Orleans Reveillon, a French holiday dining tradition. Every year, affordable prix fixe menus are offered at celebrated restaurants all over the city, and this year we are so excited to introduce ‘contemporary’ Reveillon offerings, as well as the always-anticipated traditional Reveillon menus. If you’d like to learn how to prepare our fabulous Creole holiday dishes for yourself, our famous chefs will be offering free cooking demonstrations at the Farmer’s Market, located in the historic French Market. If architecture is your passion, tour the mansions of the Garden District and the French Quarter, which are even more spectacular during the holidays. And when giftgiving, consider something unique to New Orleans from our shops and boutiques on Royal Street, Magazine Street, and in the Arts District. Of course, there’s no such thing as a “silent night” in New Orleans. Follow the trumpet to Bourbon, Frenchmen and Fulton streets for authentic New Orleans music. New Orleans is also home to “A NOLA New Year’s Eve,” named “One of the World’s Best New Year’s Eve Parties” by Budget Travel and CNN.com — and that might have something to do with the world-famous Sugar Bowl. Come join us in the Superdome on January 2nd, and for the party afterwards in the French Quarter. It is a pleasure again to wish you and yours a happy holiday season and a most wonderful New Year! Mitch Landrieu Mayor, City of New Orleans

Christmas New Orleans Style

REVEILLON

AT NEW ORLEANS FINEST RESTAURANTS During the mid-1800s, New Orleans’ Creole families celebrated the “Reveillon” (French for “awakening”) twice during the holidays. The first Reveillon came after Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, when families returned from St. Louis Cathedral to break a daylong fast with an elaborate meal. The meal consisted of egg dishes, sweetbreads, and Creole specialties, such as daube glacé. It often ended with a cake filled with a fruit confection, dripping with wine or rum, and topped with whipped cream. New Year’s Eve brought another Reveillon, usually shared among several families. This more festive meal featured eggnog, fancy pastries, meringues, sugar sculptures, and crystallized fruits. By late afternoon, families would return home to a light supper followed by a night of singing and dancing – with wine and whiskey for the gentlemen, and cordials and liqueurs for the ladies. Today’s Reveillon is celebrated nightly during the Christmas season in restaurants throughout the city. Menus combine ageless Creole cuisine with more contemporary New Orleans dishes, but the spirit of the past remains. In fact, some of our Reveillon restaurants—Antoine’s, Commander’s Palace, Galatoire’s and Tujague’s—are more than 100 years old! Revel in nostalgia and join us for the Reveillon— the authentic taste of Christmas New Orleans Style!

New for 2012! In response to the exciting, ever-changing food culture in New Orleans, an exciting new program has been introduced. 2012 Reveillon menus have been categorized in two ways:

Reveillon Traditional A rich, special occasion menu created in the style of and inspired by the tastes of the original Creoles.

Reveillon Contemporary A rich, special occasion menu utilizing preparation techniques and products of the modern day not necessarily available to the original Creoles. V ISIT OUR WEBSITE AT NE WORLE ANSONLINE.COM/HOLIDAY
