FOUND:RE Phoenix Hotel Transports Guests to New Orleans for Mardi Gras-themed Passport Series Event

Let the good times roll at FOUND:RE Phoenix Hotel and Match Market & Bar in honor of Mardi Gras! On Tuesday, February 16, the hotel celebrates the next event in its monthly “Passport Series” with a Mardi Gras theme designed to help guests get in the spirit of the Big Easy with traditional “N’awlins” cocktails and cuisine, and a French Quarter-style carnival atmosphere on the outdoor pool deck and bar with live jazz music, beads, vibrant décor, and more.

Libations available for purchase throughout the evening include specialty cocktails originated in the Crescent City including the Hurricane (credited to the famed tavern owner Pat O’Brien in the 1940s); the Grasshopper (believed to be invented by New Orleans’ bar Tujague’s owner Philip Guichet in 1918); the Sazerac (named for the City’s Sazerac House which opened in 1852); and the Vieux Carré (made in 1930s by Walter Bergeron, a bartender at New Orleans’ legendary Carousel Bar).

Guests can also take a bite of Bourbon Street with Seafood Gumbo featuring sausage, shellfish medley, peppers, green onions, and rice for $9.

FOUND:RE’s Fat Tuesday Mardi Gras celebration is part of its FOUND:RE Passport series, which brings guests and locals the unique flavors from destinations around the globe — without leaving the property! Attendees receive a FOUND:RE Passport with the opportunity to collect stamps from each destination; those that collect the most stamps during the series have the opportunity to win prizes and giveaways.
