Flirt with the Chef at Zoe Lounge, W New Orleans
Laissez les bons temps rouler… For the best of the Big Easy, head to the W New Orleans where you can get your groove on at Rande Gerber’s Whiskey Blue and tuck into some Louisiana comfort food at Zoe Lounge. Just steps from the French Quarter, the stylish hotel promises an indulgent sensory experience– from the finger-lickin’ contemporary cuisine to the posh rooms outfitted with fluffy beds wrapped in 350-thread-count sheets and down duvets. Every Thursday in October, you can flirt with the chef at Zoe, celebrated for his dishes that blend Old-World French techniques with Cajun ingredients (think Gulf Coast Crustacean Shooters and Seared Sea Scallops). Guitarist Terc Martinez will strum the tunes while you sip on a complimentary Stiletto cocktail and nibble on tantalizing tapas from Chef Roberto Bustillo. Catch the Chef in action and learn how to make his award-winning Seared Sea Scallops with Tuscan Corn Grits and Mushroom Ragout. You can leave your wheels with the W’s valet parking while you nibble and sip (two hour parking validation with receipt).
