Holiday Book Signings at The Roosevelt New Orleans Recognize Local Celebrity Authors

Posted on: November 28th, 2011 by admin No Comments

The Roosevelt New Orleans will recognize local authors and celebrities with three book-signing events in the hotel: Troy Gilbert and Kenneth Holditch, Dec. 6, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.; Peggy Scott Laborde and Tom Fitzmorris, Dec. 8, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.; and Bryan Batt, Dec. 10, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Laborde and Fitzmorris will be signing their latest book, “Lost Restaurants of New Orleans,” a pictorial celebration of former eateries in New Orleans, complete with some of the recipes that made the restaurants famous. In addition to anecdotes by the authors, the book features glimpses into the city’s rich culinary past from New Orleans notables such as JoAnn Clevenger of Upperline Restaurant, Batt and others. Laborde is producer and host of the WYES-TV program “Steppin’ Out” and has achieved recognition for her extensive efforts in conserving the arts and history of New Orleans. Fitzmorris is a food writer and host of WWL-AM’s “Food Show.”

Batt, the actor best known for his role on the Emmy Award-winning drama “Mad Men,” has authored “Big, Easy Style: Creating Rooms You Love to Live In.” The book showcases rooms that make Batt smile, with pages of rich photography featuring the work of many designers framed by his own entertaining maxims on color, pattern and more. He also has performed in numerous Broadway and off-Broadway productions, including “Jeffrey,” “Sunset Boulevard” and others and is owner, along with Tom Cianfichi, of Magazine Street’s Hazelnut interior design shop.

Gilbert and Holditch, along with Greg Picolo, are authors of “Dinner With Tennessee Williams,” which is part food memoir and part cookbook with a fresh look at the world of one of America’s most notable writers. Gilbert is the author of the “Café Degas Cookbook” and co-author of “New Orleans Kitchens.” Holditch is professor emeritus at the University of New Orleans, editor of the “Tennessee Williams Journal,” co-author of “Tennessee Williams and the South” and co-editor of the Library of America edition of Williams’ works. Picolo is the chef at Bistro Maison de Ville.

The signings on Dec. 6 & 10 will be held in the hotel’s lobby near the world-famous Sazerac Bar. The Dec. 8 signing will be held inside Teddy’s Cafe.

The Roosevelt New Orleans Makes Old Traditions New Again with the Waldorf Wonderland Lobby and Teddy Bear Tea
Christmas Tree

Christmas Tree

NEW ORLEANS, La. – (October 10, 2011) The Roosevelt New Orleans continues the tradition of offering a spectacular display of New Orleans holiday wonderland decorations, as luxurious and memorable as the historic property itself, for locals and guests to experience during the holiday season.  This year, the Waldorf Wonderland Lobby returns bigger and better as the grand lobby is transformed into a canopy of white birch branches and thousands of twinkling lights along with a nostalgic look at some of New Orleans great eatery’s  enhancing the already spectacular holiday extravaganza.
A six by 11-foot gingerbread village depicting some of New Orleans’ most famous restaurants, including Camellia Grill, Commander’s Palace, Creole Creamery, Galatoire’s and Pascal’s Manale, just to name a few will be displayed inside Teddy’s Café, located off the hotel’s grand lobby.
The lobby will also be lined with Christmas trees decorated with bows and ornaments, poinsettias and other holiday-themed displays. The festive, free attraction is a favorite near and far and is open to the public.
“The Waldorf Wonderland Lobby is a must-see for visitors and locals,” said General Manager Tod Chambers. “It’s our way of giving back to the community and recognizing that New Orleans is already a magical destination, made a bit more appealing at The Roosevelt Hotel.”
The holiday delight, an attraction to everyone who visits New Orleans during the season, has been a New Orleans tradition since the 1930s and returns again from Nov. 29, 2011, through Jan. 1, 2012.
The Roosevelt’s beloved Teddy Bear Tea returns Dec. 3. The event, a family favorite during the holidays, hosts guests and their children for a special tea party featuring children’s menu items, as well as traditional tea, a cash bar and menu for adults, plus complimentary free-flowing champagne. Children also will receive this year’s commemorative Roosevelt Teddy Bear.  Entertainment will include storytellers and trumpeters, as well as appearances by Santa, his elves and Mrs. Claus. Framed, commemorative photos with Santa will be available at an additional cost.
Guests can participate in Teddy Bear Tea Dec. 3 – 4, 10 – 11 and 17 – 23 in the Crescent City Ballroom, with seatings at 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Tickets for Teddy Bear Tea are $54 for adults and $37 for children 10 years of age and younger, plus tax and gratuity, and can be purchased by calling The Roosevelt holiday line at (504) 335-3129. Children ages 3 and under will be admitted free of charge.
