Tip of the Tongue Episode 313: The Planning of Food and Drink at the Warbler Hotel

We speak with Joe Mann of Verdad Real Estate and Neal Bodenheimer of CureCo about their new project, The Warbler Hotel in New Orleans on legendary St. Charles Avenue.

We discuss the issues of building a hotel from the ground up in an historic neighborhood, the issues of integrating food and beverage into the hotel with the right feel for guests and for city residents to make the place lively and inviting for everyone

The food is being developed in conjunction with Chicago’s Andrew Zimmerman of Sepia, a Michelin starred restaurant. The feel of the hotel is a nod to the Jazz Age and promises to have an Art Deco vibe. And CureCo is contributing its beverage luster as a James Beard Foundation Award winning developer of Cure. All of this talent will coalesce in the martini bar and restaurant, Mildred’s.

Listen. It’s on Tip of the Tongue.
