Avenue Inn Bed and Breakfast

It's no secret that its a bit warm here in the Summer, but we have a really cool package that's sure to please your palate and pocketbook. You and your significant other (everyone loves this) will enjoy a two night stay at the Avenue Inn Bed and Breakfast and we will register you both for a class at the New Orleans School of Cooking located in the French Quarter. Fun is the primary ingredient in their kitchen but you will receive recipes and generous samplings of all demonstrated items. The classes are lead by Creole/Cajun experts who teach how to prepare some of New Orleans' most well known specialties like Gumbo, Jambalaya, and Pralines, all seasoned with history, trivia, and a few tall tales. This package includes a standard queen bed accommodation, the "open class" for two, two streetcar passes for unlimited riding (a three day pass), Continental breakfast daily, free parking and more. The summer rate (June 1-September 15) is $250 plus tax. Additional nights are $99 per night plus tax. Some special events, holidays, and city wide conventions may prohibit the use of this package. Call toll free 1-800-490-8542 for details. This package is available during the season also, ask for rates.

Book directly with us for a three night or more stay. Include Monday in your schedule and its free! Monday is the traditional Red Beans and Rice on the menu day, so the cooks of the house had time away from the kitchen to do laundry. The dish simmered by itself all day and was served in the evening. Now you can take time away and have some extra cash in your pocket for red beans and rice at one of our local eateries. This offer is subject to availability. Special events, holidays and convention periods may not be applicable. Call Toll Free 1-800-490-8542 for details.
