Adore Holiday 2021

FROM THE EDITOR

W hat I love about December is that I know if I get organized and intentional, my actions will impact the community long past the holidays. We have power in numbers. Now, more than ever, it’s imperative that we shop locally, support the arts, and visit our museums. Few cities have the kind of distinctive shopping opportunities that we do. Unique boutiques and locally owned businesses, with vibrant personalities all their own, make the holiday season seem so much brighter. Our world-class restaurants are ready to help us create memories and traditions that will last a lifetime. Sara Barnard, Adore’ s publisher, and I recently enjoyed dinner at the Windsor Court to celebrate the reopening of The Grill Room. The evening was spectacular. From amuse-bouches to the tastiest lobster bisque to stunning desserts (the fig financier was my favorite), it was sheer perfection. My family looks forward to yearly gatherings at Commander’s Palace and I will definitely be popping into Le Petit Bleu, their food-to-go shop next door. Turtle soup, gumbo, and pralines are my kind of takeout, especially after a day of shopping. You can even order online. Here’s to happy and healthy holidays!
