As you all know our main hotel will be Hotel Le Marais, this is where the MU Headquarters will be for the weekend.  We also have double rooms secured at a related hotel, The Mazarin.  The two hotels are very close, by street just one block apart but if you simply walk through the Parking garage driveway you arrive at the front door of the other hotel, about 100 yards.  We tried to be mindful of seniority, class year, arrival dates and coordinating groups to arrive at the hotel assignments.  Please let Meg Comer know if there are any discrepancies in your arrival and departure dates so that I can inform each hotel. Contact Information:  Meg Comer, maguireu@me.com, cell (312)810-7120.

@ Johnny White’s Sports Bar

720 Bourbon
New Orleans, LA 70116
504-524-4909

19 years ago Johnny White’s Sports Bar
opened their doors on the corner of Bourbon
and Orleans. 19 years later, those doors
are still open, and have NEVER been
closed.

After years of happily drinking at the bar downstairs, I was finally prompted to try the restaurant upstairs when family came in from out of town.   I will say this… the balcony on Bourbon is great for out-of-towners who want a good look at all the madness.  I could sit there for quite a while with a drink in hand.  I just wouldn’t order the food!
