Editor’s Note: Winter in New Orleans

The winter celebrating season is in full swing as we head into December. It’s a time to gather, lift a glass, toast friends and family and bring out our best finery, from special occasion table settings to holiday lights and greenery.

This month is when we not only celebrate the holidays, but it’s New Orleans Magazine’s chance to cheer some of our favorite restaurants, restaurateurs, chefs and mixologists. This year, we travel around the world via 25 of our favorite places (from the Deep South to South America, Europe, Africa and Asia) that feature truly a passport-full of dining destinations, all right here in our own backyard.

While entertaining and hosting are fun ways to pass a good time in the darkest days of the year, it’s also, unfortunately, cold and flu season. We have your go-to winter first aid kit and prevention plan to help keep you on track and in good health, along with our Exceptional Women in Medicine featuring female physicians practicing at the peak of their specialties across the area.

Plus, be sure to set your table with our recommendations for festive décor, style, accessories, cozy recipes and cocktails and all the festive events going on around town all month long.

It’s a busy season with even more fun around the corner as we head into the new year, so take time to celebrate the quiet moments, sip a cup of your favorite warm beverage and enjoy the community of family and friends sharing traditions throughout the month.
