A few of us Dames—members of Les Dames d’Escoffier from the New York chapter—met with a New Orleans Dame for a drink and nibbles atop Hotel Hendricks after the Cherry Bomb conference. Great views.

I sipped and enjoyed their version of an old fashioned—Coffee and Wood ($18)—with Old Forester bourbon, Mr. Black coffee liqueur, Créme de Banana and cold brew. Others sipped the Aussie Spritz ($12) with house “Aperol” blend, strawberry and blood orange topped with prosecco, orange wine ($17), Chardonnay ($16) and Titos ($18).

We then shared their yummy fries (10), oversized cheeseburger sliders ($18 for two), crudité with hummus ($14) and skewers. We skipped the kangaroo (Yes! Kangaroo) for the shrimp ones ($15).

I recommend a visit.
