The history of this long-standing custom can be traced back to a rather unique evening one September evening in 1988. A guest checked into the hotel, arriving after a very long journey. He situated his belongings in his room and then retired to the lounge for a nightcap – a tall glass of milk. When the barkeep inquired as to his peculiar choice of drink, the guest began telling him about his family back home and how since he was away from them so often, they began a small ritual that they would do at the same time every evening. His young daughter was partial to a late night snack of PB&J and milk at the kitchen table. None of the hotels he would visit could provide him with the homemade treat, but he would still make it a point to order a glass of milk to share with his daughter miles away. As fate would have it, the barkeep on duty that night was actually the hotel’s general manager, who was substituting for one of his employees who had left early due to a last minute family emergency. Intrigued with the guest’s story and wanting to make his stay extra special, the general manager asked the late night kitchen staff if they happened to have the necessary ingredients to whip up the nostalgic sandwich. Sure enough, within minutes, the guest was presented with the one item that could complete his nightly ritual of an evening snack with his daughter hundreds of miles away - a freshly made PB&J sandwich. Before long, word spread throughout the lounge and almost everyone wanted a PB&J sandwich too! Touched by the situation and seeing how much everyone was enjoying their snacks, a tradition began. Ever since that night in 1988, the hotel has offered the complimentary snack at 10pm nightly in the lobby. POINTS OF INTEREST National WWII Museum | 0.7mi. Garden District | 1.9mi.

  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Lee Circle Before Lee Long before Lee, the circular park linking the upriver and downriver sections of New Orleans was called the Place du Tivoli. Tivoli is a name that invariably conjures up images of verdant and picturesque gardens, its origin to be found in an historic town in the Lazio region of central Italy, founded centuries before Rome. According to Cato the Elder, Catillus founded a town in the Sabine hills to the east of Rome named Tibur (the name of which evolved into Tivoli) in honor of one of his three sons, Tiburtus. The town’s name probably shares a common root with the river Tiber. Historical vestiges of settlement in the vicinity date back to the 13th century BC. Temple of Vesta, Tivoli, Italy Tivoli is home to the Villa d’Este, commissioned by the son of Lucrezia Borgia, whose Italian Renaissance gardens are the main reason for Tivoli’s renown. It was there that this author visited in his youth, sampling his first Campari, and dined that evening at the centuries-old Ristorante Sibilla. Napoleon and other notables made this idyllic restaurant a culinary destination, as well. Built in the early 1700s beside the circular Roman Temple of Vesta and the Sanctuary of the Sybil, its terrazza garden has a breathtaking view over the deep gorge of the Aniene River, with the sounds of the waterfall in the background. It has been called “the most romantic place in Italy.” The grandeur of Tivoli’s landscape, with its evocations of ancient glory, also made it a major destination for foreign visitors on their 19th century “Grand Tour.” The Tiburtine Sybil (a kind of oracle) is famous for having announced to the Emperor Augustus the coming of Jesus.

The CCSRC is composed of nine total members, with one appointed by each Councilmember with a formal or informal background of the history and geography of New Orleans. Mayor LaToya Cantrell and the City Planning Commission appointed the remaining two members. The Commission was charged with several key responsibilities, which included conducting a thorough research and public engagement process to develop a comprehensive set of renaming recommendations for streets, parks, and places across the city. In the course of auditing the list of City streets beyond those initially identified by the New Orleans Public Library, the Commission consulted a panel of experts to provide an additional set of names, which was used to formulate the recommendations listed in this report.

The city library, already established in 1843, had grown through the years. In 1902, it received a $250,000 Carnegie grant to build a new Main Library and ve additional libraries spread throughout the city. (Carnegie was to fund 2,509 around the world from 1883 to 1929.) The land chosen for the Main Library was the site of the New Orleans and Carrollton Railroad Depot, located at that time on the corner of Tivoli Circle (now called Lee Circle), and remained there until it was torn down in 1866.
