WORLD-CLASS BAR
From the Editor

The Roosevelt Hotel's storied bar — African walnut walls, Paul Ninas murals from 1938, and the birthplace claim on the Sazerac, the cocktail that may be America's first. This is where Huey Long held court; the Ramos Gin Fizz here is made the laborious old way, shaken until your bartender's arm gives out. Less a trendy cocktail den than a temple to the city's drinking history. For a Sazerac in the room that made it famous.
