St. Louis CathedralSt. Louis Cathedral
The site of the Cathedral-Basilica of St. Louis, King of France, has been the center of worship for the Catholic faithful in New Orleans and a major civic gathering place since the founding of our city in 1718. The first permanent church, built in 1727, was burned in the fire of 1788. This anchors Jackson Square in the French Quarter. This church is also where Chris's parents, Janice and David, were married many decades ago.

Napoleon HouseNapoleon House
Renowned for its refreshing Pimm’s Cup cocktail, warm muffuletta sandwich, and “dishy” history as a proffered refuge for the embattled and exiled ex-Emperor of France, the century-old Napoleon House is a French Quarter icon exuding the patina, charm, and authenticity of living history. This 200-year old landmark was recently awarded 2019 "Timeless American" award by Tales of the Cocktail for being a pillar in the community and having provided a benchmark for the industry.
