Now through August,the New Orleans
Wine & Food Experience (NOWFE) has announced that it will be hosting
several wine dinners.
"While we were all disappointed that NOWFE was postponed
this year, we celebrate the reopening of our beloved restaurants and
look forward to gathering together—with all socially distant protocols, of
course," Aimee Brown, NOWFE executive director, said.
Participating restaurants include
Broussard's Restaurant & Courtyard, Palace Café, GW Fins, Briquette,
La Petite Grocery, Tommy's Cuisine, the Rib Room, and Café Reconcile. More
restaurants will be announced and added in September.
Restaurants have instilled safety precautions to keep all
visitors safe while dining.
"We hope these
dinners will encourage diners to support our local economy and offer a
sense of normalcy as we move into the next phases of reopening," said Brown.
