The elegant lobby lounge of the Windsor Court, the city's grande dame hotel, and a deliberate counterweight to the Quarter's noise — piano jazz in the evenings, classics mixed with precision, and a whiskey list that runs among the deepest in New Orleans. This is jacket-weather drinking: come in the evening when the piano is playing, order something from the brown-spirits list or a classic done exactly right, and let the room's old-world composure do the rest. The hotel's afternoon tea is a legend in its own right if you want to make an occasion of the visit.
