| Summer at The Sweet Olive |
[Jul. 6th, 2007|03:22 pm] |
It’s been a terrific spring at the Sweet Olive. the perfect convergence of awesome weather and spectacular festivals. And now we settle in as the city slows to a more languorous pace for the summer. This is the season when we rise early to enjoy a cool morning, then take a long nap in the heat of the day and awake ready to party well into the night.
As usual the city tourism folks are working hard to make it well worthwhile to perspire a bit on a visit to New Orleans this summer. There are discounts on everything from admission to Mardi Gras World, to cooking classes, to Swamp Tours.
The city’s plethora of festivals continue through the summer as well. In July there’s Tales of the Cocktail—a weekend-long celebration of cuisine and cocktails, and for those of you who missed Jazz Fest—the Satchmo Fest, the first weekend in August, which takes the already remarkable music scene on nearby Frenchmen street to a whole new level.
And by far the BEST incentive of all, the annual COOLinary Festival, during which you can dine at many of the city’s most acclaimed restaurants (including Emeril’s, Antoine’s and Arnaud’s) for $30.07 or less. (And the number of fine restaurants in New Orleans has now actually surpassed what was available before Katrina.)
And one final note, we’re delighted to announce that our new Courtyard Suite is now available. It features a whirlpool tub, large walk in tiled shower, king sized bed, and mini-kitchen. The perfect spot for that afternoon nap.
If you’re pondering a visit to the Big Easy this summer and haven’t been for awhile, please give us a call and let us give you our first hand account of what’s going on in the city. We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
P.S. I almost forgot. Our summer rates start at $65. And we’re still running our 4th night free special! |
