THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL Christmas New Orleans StylE

Dear Friends, It is a pleasure to welcome you to 2016 Christmas New Orleans Style, a seasonal celebration of holiday feasting, soul-stirring music, unique shopping, and heart-warming traditions when you can “Follow Your Joy!” This year, we will once again present New Orleans to you in its most festive way. One of our premier events for the whole family, Christmas New Orleans Style, has many special activities including Celebration in the Oaks in City Park, candlelight caroling in Jackson Square, free concerts at St. Louis Cathedral and St. Augustine Church, holiday festivities at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, and holiday lights throughout our city. Let our city’s legendary chefs introduce you to the New Orleans Reveillon, a French holiday dining tradition. Every year, celebrated restaurants across the city offer affordable prix ﬁxe menus, and we are excited to include ‘contemporary’ Reveillon offerings, as well as the always anticipated traditional Reveillon menus. You can experience our fabulous Creole holiday dishes created by our famous chefs. If architecture is your passion, tour the mansions of the Garden District and the French Quarter, which are even more spectacular during the holidays. When gift-giving this season, consider something unique to New Orleans from our shops and boutiques on Royal Street and Magazine Street to the streets of Bywater, Mid-City, and Lakeview. And don’t forget the Arts and Museum districts as well! New Orleans is alive, be it day or night, and you’ll be able to listen to a wide variety of music from the French Quarter to the Faubourg Marigny, from Fulton Street to Maple Street. New Orleans is also home to the annual R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl on December 17, 2016, in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome; the annual Allstate Sugar Bowl Parade on New Year’s Eve afternoon through the French Quarter and Downtown; an exciting live music and ﬁreworks show along the riverfront in the French Quarter; and, the match-up between the SEC and the Big 12 on January 2 at the MercedesBenz Superdome, presented by the Allstate Sugar Bowl. It is a pleasure again to wish you and your family a happy holiday season and a most wonderful New Year! Sincerely, Mitch Landrieu Mayor, City of New Orleans

THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL Christmas New Orleans StylE

HISTORICAL CHARACTERS LOUISIANA HISTORY ALIVE! IN THE FRENCH QUARTER Discover New Orleans’ unique heritage – face to face. The martyrs and marauders, heroes and villains, divas and desperados of New Orleans’ past walk the streets of this historic city throughout the holiday season. Ever wonder what it was like when steamboats plied the Mississippi River, buggies and barouches lined the cobblestone streets, and citizens anxiously awaited the announcement of the French Opera House’s upcoming season? Discuss military tactics with Andrew Jackson, the founding of New Orleans with Bienville, or watercolors with John James Audubon. Ask Marie Laveau for some gris gris, Adelina Patti about her bel canto technique, or the Venerable Henriette DeLille for a blessing. Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday during the first four weekends of December, Louisiana History Alive! characters will be visiting the French Quarter. They will depart the Bourbon Orleans Hotel at 717 Orleans each day at 11am and stroll through the Vieux Carré streets and along the waterfront. On Fridays at noon find them singing holiday carols at the French Market. They will also make appearances at the Bourbon Orleans’ Brunch with Santa. Some of the figures you could encounter include General Andrew Jackson, the Baroness Pontalba, Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau, opera legend Adelina Patti, Captain Jean Lafitte, Dr. Elizabeth Cohen, the “bread lady” Margaret Haughery, daguerreotypist Jules Lion, and, of course, Saint Nicholas. Please come out to say hello and enjoy history face-to-face in an interactive experience that is distinctively New Orleans.

Reveillon

VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT FOLLOW YOURJOY.COM

REVEILLON

Pronounced ’rĕ-vē-ŏn (Hint: the ‘L’s are silent!)

AT NEW ORLEANS FINEST RESTAURANTS In the late 1800s and the first decade or so of the 20th century, New Orleans’ Creole families celebrated Reveillon (derived from the French word reveiller, which means “to awaken”) 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. This meal typically 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 elaborate 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 Reveillon – the authentic taste of Christmas New Orleans Style!

Reveillon menus are 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. Prices do not include tax or gratuity, and may not be combined with other promotional offers or discounts. Available holiday dates are noted in each listing, but please check the website in advance to confirm: (CE) Open Christmas Eve; (CER) Open Christmas Eve serving Reveillon Dinner; (CD) Open Christmas Day; (CDR) Open Christmas Day serving Reveillon Dinner; (NYE) Open New Year’s Eve; (NYER) Open New Year’s Eve serving Reveillon Dinner; (NYD) Open New Year’s Day; (NYDR) Open New Year’s Day serving Reveillon Dinner.
