"Sometimes you want to get some work done in a place that’s more chill than the coffee shop, with far better food. That’s when you go to Couvant. Post up at the spacious bar for some gulf shrimp and stone-ground grits that come with chorizo gravy made with sherry and lots of large shrimp cooked just until the moment they turn pink. The avocado toast is actually worth your money, too, since it’s topped with two immaculately poached eggs and served with a salad. If you’re partaking in cocktails, starting your day with the toasty, creamy St. Louis Sour featuring Maison Ferrand cognac is a good idea. RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE" - Megan Braden-Perry
"Listed as open on Wednesday, Jan. 22 at its Magazine Street location (no hours specified)." - Clair Lorell
"The French-accented restaurant in the Eliza Jane Hotel offers a $52 three-course Christmas brunch from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Menu choices include fried oysters with brie and lemon beurre blanc, truffled butternut squash velouté with pancetta, steak and eggs with mushroom hash, and Crème Brûlée." - Clair Lorell
"Couvant’s French pedigree fits the gorgeous space in the Eliza Jane Hotel, with its low lighting, tin ceiling, crushed velvet, and black-and-white tile floor. New Orleans native Ryan Pearson, a former sous chef at Daniel in Manhattan, delivers French technique, but with modern, creative style. The crawfish gnocchi is just one spot-on marriage of French and South Louisianan traditions." - Beth D’Addono
"Serves a Réveillon menu in the stylish hotel and dresses up indoors and out as the Spirits Aglow bar from mid-November through early January, rolling out cocktails like boozy hot chocolate and Elfing Around, a mix of mezcal, amaro, pomegranate, port, and rosemary." - Adam H. Callaghan
