20 Things Under $20 Every Day At The Ritz-Carlton New Orleans
Normally we have Ritz Carltons down as splurgy kinds of places rather than savers, so it’s nice to know that the New Orleans branch is reaching out to our budget hearts with its new 20 Under $20 list – 20 things you can get under their roof every day for under $20, plus a free bonus thrown in for good measure.
You won’t be finding any rooms on the list, unfortunately, but as well as the obvious stuff like a postcard (a slightly overpriced $1) or a cup of coffee (a much more reasonable $2) you will see things from sushi ($3), Jazzed Up Grits ($6), a Bloody Mary ($8), Bananas Foster ($10) and kobe beef sliders ($16).
The “free” part is Jeremy Davenport’s live jazz, which you can either catch on weekend nights or Thursday evenings from 5.30pm till 9pm. If you make this one, you’ll get a free Davenportini cocktail to boot (as you might have guessed, Mr Davenport is something of a Nola celebrity and beloved of the local ladies). Although you might have trouble getting served – the place is rammed when he plays.
Don’t be afraid to ask for more budget tips when you get there, either – although the building smells of money, when we stayed there this summer, the fabulous concierge Rudy reeled off a list of cheap places to eat in town (our favourite: Juan’s Flying Burrito on Magazine Street).
See? Ritz Carltons don’t have to be that expensive – you just have to know what to buy. The more money you save for your huge ass beers to go, the better.
