My New Orleans

Patout feels his grandmother’s presence in the airy kitchen. Original features include a Chambers stove and porcelain sink flanked by glass-door cabinets, which Patout rescued from a family member who planned to tear them out. Heart pine flooring was previously concealed by linoleum.
Patout’s affinity for antiques is evident throughout the home, which features a mix of family heirlooms and personal finds. During satsuma season, Patout avails himself of a grove on the plantation property to gather the key ingredient for Satsuma Old Fashioned cocktails.
The porch has become Patout’s favorite haunt. It had fallen into disuse over the years, but Patout found a set of old doors in the garage and added screens to create an outdoor haven. Today it serves as an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening hors d’oeuvres, and according to Patout, catches a breeze even on sultry days.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) Some residents in New Orleans’ French Quarter can expect noise and shaking as the city embarks on a major street project.
The project is set to begin Monday, when crews will start digging up part of Conti Street, between Royal on Bourbon, The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate reported.
The $4.3 million project will involve cutting out the street and replacing underground water, sewer and gas pipes and rebuilding the block.
The stretch will be closed to vehicles, but city officials said businesses will remain accessible throughout the eight-month project.
Royal Carriages, a New Orleans tourism icon and the nation’s oldest carriage company, has expanded to Louisiana’s Northshore. The 80-year-old company, best known for its mule-drawn historical tours in New Orleans’ French Quarter and Marigny neighborhoods, is now offering sightseeing tours in Covington’s Downtown Historic District.
“Covington’s rich history, beautiful architecture and laid back vibes make it an ideal destination partner for Royal Carriages,” says Royal Carriages Director of Marketing Kimmie Carlos. “We are thrilled to bring a favorite New Orleans tradition to Covington, and we hope all of Louisiana’s Northshore will come experience history with us in a new and exciting way.”
