FromNewOrleans.com:
1838, Antoine Peychaud invented the Sazerac in his pharmacy at 437 Royal Street. Today, you can still enjoy this simple yet potent cocktail at the Sazerac Bar inthe Roosevelt Hotel where it has been served to everyone who’s anyone since 1938. Most bars around town do serve this cocktail. I recommend you go see Josh at the Napoleon House. |

SAZERAC HOUSE: OPENING OCTOBER 2ND
SAINTS FAN GAME DAY DRINKING
|
Alcohol.org study:
"Drinking in moderation is acceptable, but alcohol use in excess can become a dangerous habit. A weekly schedule of NFL games can create an unhealthy habit of regular, heavy drinking. With that in mind, we decided to find out which teams’ fans drink the most and least, on both game days and non-game days." |
PIMM'S CUP:

FromNewOrleans.com:
Created by London barkeep James Pimm in the 1840s. A hundred years later the owner of the Napoleon House took Pimm’s No.1 creation and gave it a New Orleans twist by adding lemonade, Seven Up and a cucumber garnish. |

New Orleans City Park
Abita Beer
"The Abita Brewing Company is nestled in the piney woods 30 miles north of New Orleans. In its first year, the brewery produced 1,500 barrels of beer. We had no idea what we started. Customers loved our beer! By 1994, we outgrew the original site (now our 100-seat brew pub) and moved up the road to a larger facility to keep up with demand.
|
We brew more than 151,000 barrels of beer and 9,100 barrels of root beer in our state-of-the-art brewing facility. Our lagers and ales are brewed in small batches, hand-crafted by a team of dedicated workers with only the highest ideals of quality. This pride, along with our brewing process, is what creates our great brews. We are privately owned and operated by local shareholders, many who have been with us since day one." (from website) |

Mercadel is aiming to complete more than 200 cuts over the two-day period. He thinks that’s doable because he can accomplish a popular cut like a bald fade “in under six minutes, like Speedy Gonzales,” he said. “It’s fast, high-quality work.”

Tulane Stadium was the home to Tulane Football from 1926 until 1974. Built on an old plantation where sugar was first granulated, the original construction cost approximately $300,000 and was made mostly from brick and concrete. As the site of the annual Sugar Bowl, Tulane Stadium was often informally referred to as "Sugar Bowl Stadium." After its expansion in the 1940's, Tulane Stadium became the largest football stadium in the south.
