Cheese, cheese, charcuterie, and more cheese, please. Sandwiches, salads, and even more cheese are all on the menu. Mission The purpose of our business is to present our clients with a precisely picked and unexpectedly broad range of wonderfully mature cheeses, charcuterie, and gourmet food products. Our menu has been carefully crafted to include sandwiches, salads, and cheese-centric dishes that are both contemporary and European in style, in order to appeal to a wide range of food enthusiasts. What it Is and How it Works We know people who know people who know people who know people who know people. The best method to obtain the farmhouse cheeses we are wild about is to identify the people who love creating them as much as we do about selling them. We found this out a long time ago and have been using it ever since. We've established an international network of cheese makers and affineurs who supply us with the artisan and farmhouse cheeses that are not available in other shops in the United States. What to Expect When You Arrive We operate on the premise that cheese should be enjoyable, and we strive to make each and every visit to our shop unique and memorable. There are areas for the cheese novice, the rind smelling expert, and the curd curious to explore. These are the folks who work for us. St James cheesemongers and guests are urged to sample every cheese available on a daily basis in order to guarantee that each cheese is served at its best.

Micaela Almonester, the Baroness de Pontalba, was born in New Orleans in 1795 to aristocratic families of French-Creole and Spanish descent. She inherited her father's fortune when she was a little child, as he was the only living heir. Her father, Andrés Almonester y Rojas, had been a prominent donor to the city of New Orleans through his humanitarian efforts. She was arranged to marry Joseph-Xavier Célestin Delfau de Pontalba, and the couple finally settled in Paris, where she lived for the majority of her life after their marriage. Her husband and father-in-law re-established power over her and her estate by coercive means. Her father-in-law, driven by an insatiable desire for Micaela's money, attempted to murder her several years after the initial attempt. While she survived with injuries to her hand and breast, she also attempted to legally separate herself from her husband, despite the fact that they were never actually divorced. Her father's legacy as a key contribution to New Orleans as a businesswoman, developer, and well-known personality was carried on by the Baroness. Her father's legacy as a key contribution to New Orleans as a businesswoman, developer, and well-known personality was carried on by the Baroness. She made significant contributions to the revitalization of the French quarter, most notably through the creation of the historic Pontalba Buildings. She was in charge of the architectural design of the structures, as well as the construction of them, which she oversaw closely. Construction of this ancient brick building began in 1835 and served as the Baroness' warehouse, where she kept her furniture and other belongings safe and secure.

    Whitehall Plantation, which was established in 1857 for Francois Pascalis de la Barre and his family and operated as a sugar plantation until 1891, was the first of its kind in the United States. At the time, the plantation encompassed 8,000 acres that stretched from the Mississippi River to Lake Pontchartrain in southern Louisiana. According to historical records, life at Whitehall Plantation was filled with joy and celebration. Other plantation owners, their families, and friends were invited to enjoy Christmas Eve on the plantation, which made for a particularly joyous holiday season in general. The women donned their old-fashioned dresses and danced to Chopin's Minuet in G and Strauss' Vienna Woods with the males of their choosing to the tunes of Chopin's Minuet and Strauss' Vienna Woods. Because of its near proximity to New Orleans and its link to a dirt road known as Labarre Road, the property was chosen to serve as the headquarters for Union General Morgan during the Civil War. The grounds were transformed into a gambling casino in 1919, with dancing to the sounds of well-known orchestras taking place on the premises. A magnificent restaurant had been added to the manor's offerings. The meals were exquisite, the music was excellent, and, if Lady Luck was on your side, your travel back home was enjoyable as well. Magnolia Community Services now has access to Whitehall Plantation's gorgeous scenery, which is maintained by the plantation. Magnolia School, founded in 1935 by Dr. Charles Bloom, was born out of a need for specialized instruction for children and adolescents who were experiencing intellectual and developmental issues. Dr. Charles Bloom wanted to provide for his son, but he quickly learned that there were little resources available to satisfy his son's demands. As a result, Dr. Charles Bloom organized a group of businesspeople to hunt for land on which to build a school for his son. The Magnolia School was founded by private contributions and now runs as a private 501 c3 non-profit organization in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. With the knowledge that a portion of the rental price for Whitehall Plantation is donated to this deserving organization, you can feel good about yourself. We will work with you to create a wedding experience that is as special as your love for one another. For years to come, a Whitehall Plantation wedding will be remembered not just for the scenic settings, which include moss-hung oak trees and the grand staircase entry to the magnificent home, but also for the flavor, flair and attention to detail that we put into each and every event.
