  • Summary

  • Sometimes life seems to move in a circle taking its passengers from where they started, to other destinations and then back again.

    Some of the literary figures who were regulars at the historic Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans’ French Quarter – like Truman Capote and Tennessee Williams – might have experienced that in their journeys for discovery, or maybe they were just enjoying a great cocktail at an unforgettable bar. Customers at the Hotel Monteleone’s Carousel Bar have now been able to explore the circle of life for 75 years. The namesake libation lounge has reached a significant anniversary while still powered by a one-fourth-horsepower motor that enables a full turn every 15 minutes.

    Beverage Manager and historian for the hotel, Marvin Allen joins Louisiana Life Executive Editor Errol Laborde, along with Producer Kelly Massicot, to talk about the bar and its signature cocktails including the Vieux Carre, which was created to reflect the culture of New Orleans.
