Preservation Hall of Jazz

Enjoy VIP admission for two to Preservation Hall, the French Quarter’s internationally recognized home of Traditional New Orleans Jazz and headquarters of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.  As VIP guests of Preservation Hall, you’ll be entitled to “skip-the-line” status.  Simply check in at the door and avoid the long line. This iconic American institution was established in 1961 with the intention of preserving this uniquely American art form and providing some of its earliest practitioners the opportunity to earn a living performing the music they had pioneered and kept alive for so many years.  Preservation Hall’s evening performances are recognized as some of the world’s last “pure musical experiences,” presenting authentic, traditional New Orleans jazz, played by the city’s finest.  Experience the living legends that won Preservation Hall the Zagat award for 'Best Appeal' for 2009 New Orleans Nightlife.  There is no bar service, air-conditioning, or other modern updates, Preservation Hall is a truly unique experience for kids and adults alike.  In the words of Louis Armstrong: “Preservation Hall, now that’s where you’ll find all the greats”.

Commander’s Palace Restaurant

Enjoy a dinner for two featuring the Chef’s Playground, a 6-course specialty menu created by Executive Chef Tory McPhail, complemented by an assortment of wines, and includes tax and gratuity.  Wine pairings for the evening will be chosen by one of Commander’s wine experts. Named “Most Popular” and “Top Decor” in New Orleans by ZAGAT.  Treat yourself to this wonderful experience at Commander’s Palace and partake in the Chef’s Playground menu paired with an exquisite assortment of wines to complement your meal.
