My culinary inspiration has always been and will always be New Orleans history and culture. We sought to integrate fresh preparations and innovation into New Orleans culinary traditions and culture when I initially opened Emeril's doors in 1990. With an emphasis on innovation and refinement and inspired by the many influences of New Orleans cuisine, we continue to push ourselves to provide our customers with an excellent experience. The chef's tasting is designed to be an exploration that builds on the aromas and complexity of our ingredients while incorporating distinctive modernism. We want to produce foods and settings that heal and transport people, leaving them happier than when they arrived, for both locals and visitors to New Orleans. - Emeril Lagasse, chef Only four short blocks separate Emeril's Restaurant from the Convention Center in downtown New Orleans' Warehouse District. Emeril's is a restaurant that serves Chef Emeril Lagasse's elegant specialty meals and is undoubtedly a memorable experience. Since its debut in 1990, Emeril's Restaurant, the flagship location, has played home to thousands of events. We look forward to working with you to make your upcoming event a success, whether you are organizing a corporate lunch or dinner, bridal luncheon, bar or bat mitzvah, dine-around, or anything else you can think of. Emeril's is also available for full and partial restaurant buyouts.

St. James Cheese Company is the perfect setting for private wine and cheese tastings, happy hours, rehearsal dinners, baby and bridal showers, weddings, and more. 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.

The Canal Bank & Trust Building, which can be found at 210 Baronne Street, was designed by the well-known New Orleans architect Emile Weil. Built in 1927, Weil adorned the exterior of the building with limestone statues and lined the corridors with mahogany trim, Tennessee marble, travertine floors, and brass embroidery. In addition, he used travertine floors. Before it was converted into apartments, this structure was home to a variety of professional offices as well as one of the largest banks in the South for almost 90 years. The interior of the bank lobby was designed to convey an air of majesty and scale that is unequaled by any other location in the city. The original bank lobby is now known as the Capital on Baronne and has been renovated recently. The irreplaceable plasterwork and the hand-carved marble columns are just two examples of the many details that have been preserved. The Capital on Baronne is New Orleans' most elegant ballroom, making it the ideal location for wedding receptions as well as corporate events. If you are looking for the ideal New Orleans wedding venue, look no further.

The New Orleans Board Of Trade was founded in 1880, and trading continued on the floor until mid-1960. Centered on the eastern wall of the building are three clocks, which have been in place since the building was erected, giving the times in New Orleans, New York & Rio de Janeiro, which were the major players in the Green Coffee Trading. The eight-sectioned mural done was hand-painted by local artist Alvin Sharpe in 1932. It took him approximately three months to complete. First, the canvas was glued to the dome, and then he painted them while on a scaffold in the prone position -- the local version of Michelangelo. (The cost for this project was only $5,500.00 -- just imagine what it would cost today!) In 1993, the Board of Trade was once again renovated, the floors leveled and carpeted with a movable dance floor. It is now available for special event rental, so the public has the opportunity to experience the grandeur of days gone by. The space can currently accomodate up to 500 guests reception style and 250 seated.
