As the author of the Cheap Drinks/Bookstores/Extra Bathrooms map of the French Quarter (download it from an earlier post on this site) I heartily approve of adding more pleasant places to sit and sip. I like the Maison Dupuy anyway and can second Todd Price’s story idea:T-P story

The courtyard opens for cocktails every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Maison Dupuy Hotel is located at 1001 Toulouse St.
