The Sazerac Bar

French Quarter, New Orleans

A Preview

"You're looking at the Roosevelt Hotel. Been here since eighteen ninety-three — started as the Grunewald, renamed for Teddy Roosevelt because the Panama Canal was making New Orleans money. Not Franklin. Teddy. Inside is the Sazerac Bar. Forty-five feet of African walnut carved from a single tree, Art Deco murals on the walls, and a bullet hole that everyone gets wrong."
