In the November 3rd article travelandleisure.com wrote, "Each year in New Orleans, The Roosevelt decks its halls — and the whole city block — with thousands of lights, bows, and garlands. A festive winter Old-Fashioned is on the menu for adults, and the annual Teddy Bear Tea is a favorite tradition among visiting kids — it even includes visits from Santa and Mrs. Claus. There are multiple sittings per day on select days between November and December, but reservations are strongly recommended.
