To honor these non-profits, Happy hour prices will be available all night long with $3 beers, $5 house wine, $6 well drinks and signature cocktails.Come thirsty as 20 percent of the bar proceeds will be split by both organizations, which will also be collecting suggested donations at the door.

Friday, September 28/The Roosevelt New Orleans, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel (130 Roosevelt Way): As The Roosevelt New Orleans, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel celebrates its 125^th anniversary, it once again raises a glass to the always bold and barrier-breaking women of New Orleans during its annual luncheon and recreation of the “Stormin’ of the Sazerac.” The yearly event honors the group of badass ladies who first stormed the hotel’s Sazerac Bar in 1949 demanding equality, and a stiff drink, at a time when women were only allowed to be served at the bar on Mardi Gras day. We drink to those women, and now you can too. The hotel invites all women to join in the one-of-a-kind celebration encompassing libations, cuisine and entertainment in the lap of Roosevelt luxury. Festivities will take place in the famous Blue Room, the elegant Fountain Lounge and, most notably, the world-renowned Sazerac Bar. It all starts at 1:00 PM (liquid lunch, ladies), tickets are $59, and you can purchase them here. 

Friday, September 28/Besthoff Sculpture Garden (City Park): For the 14^th year, the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) will celebrate LOVE in the Garden, and this is a love fest of art, food, drink, and nature. LOVE in the Garden kicks off with the Patron Party at 7:00 PM with entertainment by the Storyville Stompers. The Patron Party is followed by the Garden Party at 8:00 PM with entertainment by The
Boogie Men. The Late Night Party begins at 10:00 PM, and partygoers can dance to New Orleans’
favorite party starter, DJ OttO, until midnight. While all of this is going on, guests will also be indulging in 60 of New Orleans’ finest restaurants, and craft cocktails from New Orleans’ top bartenders as they vie for first place in the 5th annual LOVE Cocktail Challenge. Ticket prices vary from $50 to $10,000 (we’ve always wanted to write that), and you can purchase them here.
