Where you sleep
Camp Street and Julia Street cross in the Warehouse District, where nineteenth-century cotton and coffee warehouses became galleries, apartments and hotels. Rooms here are large, often with brick walls and tall windows, and the walk to Jackson Square is twenty three minutes along Magazine or Camp and across Canal Street.
Rooms, classes and suppers counted in the figure
- Three nights in a hotel in a converted brick warehouse a block or two from Julia Street, a room for two; the hotel's own nightly charge, if it has one, sits inside this figure for Camp and Julia.
- A hands-on cooking class of about three hours, gumbo from the roux up, with the meal you cook.
- A praline making demonstration in a candy kitchen, with a box to carry home.
- An itinerary for the Warehouse District cooking weekend that names the hotel and each operator, with its address and its own rules for changes after you reserve.
Left for you: the road, the taxes, the valet
- Getting to New Orleans and back. From the Atlanta office the drive is about 470 miles; how you travel is yours to choose and arrange.
- Louisiana and New Orleans hotel taxes and the per-room nightly charge set by the state and city, both collected by the hotel. The quote shows them in dollars.
- Meals beyond those named above, and tips for staff.
- Parking. Hotels in the Quarter and downtown usually charge for it by the night.
- Streetcar and taxi fares in the city.
Red: the 23-minute route from Camp and Julia. Pale lines: every other stay's route, all on one scale.
Months this stay suits, and months it fights
Any month. Cooking classes run all year, so the from-price is figured on June, the month with the smallest federal lodging figure for the city. Summer means an air-conditioned kitchen and a hot walk back; the cooler months from October to April make the walk part of the pleasure.
Behind the $420 per person for the Warehouse District cooking weekend: a room at $138 a night, the federal number for New Orleans in June, taken three times near Camp and Julia and shared by two, then $210 per person for the two named pieces.
Confirmed by each supplier once you say yes
The cooking school confirms the day and the dish of the class, because the menu changes with the season, and it asks about any food you avoid. The candy kitchen confirms the time of the demonstration. The hotel confirms the room and its nightly charge.
