This month, the Downtown seafood and spirit specialists of <a href=\"https:\/\/briquette-nola.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Briquette<\/a> are looking to change all of that.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Briquette\u2019s new Staycation Dinner Series welcomes residents tired of their own worn-out recipes to stop in for some socially distant, contemporary coastal food and fun. The series kicked off on Thursday, June 25, with a special dinner featuring Wagner Family Wines \/ Caymus Vineyards. On Wednesday, August 19, Briquette will host an Italian-themed wine dinner featuring wines from Italy\u2019s sun-kissed, Mediterranean regions. The dinner is presented in conjunction with the New Orleans Wine &amp; Food Experience (NOWFE).<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Meanwhile, partnerships and preparations are underway for July and September events, which Proprietor Anna Tusa guarantees will be \u201cspirited\u201d affairs. It\u2019s important to note Briquette\u2019s commitment to the safety of guests and staff\u2014the entire restaurant has been professionally cleaned by COVID Cleaning using the PURTEQ system, which kills viruses for 90 days, according to Tusa.<\/span>\n\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In addition to hosting an extensive wine collection from vineyards around the world, Briquette has also established itself as a New Orleans hub for Bourbon enthusiasts and adventurous sippers of hand-crafted cocktails. As another get-out-of-the-house, staycation offering, the restaurant is excited to add private cocktail classes to the summer schedule.<\/span><\/strong>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cWith a maximum of 10 guests and minimum of two, the intimate craft cocktail experience provides an in-depth lesson for those looking to expand their bar skills from a Briquette mixologist,\u201d says Tusa. The classes can be paired with a meal or center on drinks alone. Perfect for small celebrations, date nights, or an outing with close friends, the private classes focus on your choice of \u201cTraditional,\u201d \u201cClassic New Orleans,\u201d or \u201cBad &amp; Boujee\u201d cocktails.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">While birthday, anniversary, wedding, and other celebrations have been tamped down in recent months, Briquette\u2019s Wine Room, a private dining room, is now available to provide spaced, socially distant celebrations for small groups who are ready for a comfortable, stylish gathering place. Briquette\u2019s Wine Room has its own entrance, restroom, and kitchen\u2014relax knowing your guests will be the only ones in the room.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Brunch, another beloved New Orleans tradition that many have missed, is back in action at Briquette\u2019s sister restaurant, The New Orleans Creole Cookery, from 11 a.m. \u2013 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The French Quarter restaurant brought back live entertainment to its open-air courtyard to complement dinner Thursday through Saturday evenings.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cThe courtyard has been a popular destination in the re-opening of in-house dining, and the return of our Oyster Happy Hour from 3 \u2013 6 p.m has been a local favorite of late,\u201d says Tusa.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Looks like sticking around for the summer won\u2019t be so bad after all!<\/span>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!--vcv no format-->\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Orleans is unquestionably a food and beverage city\u2014locals and visitors are accustomed to having their every food whim met with readily available, flavor-packed dining experiences.
