You’ll forget you’re in Manhattan the moment you step into 1803. This New Orleans inspired escape is rich with sultry energy, live music playing every day, and just enough mystery to keep things tempting, including a hidden speakeasy downstairs, open on select nights. Indulge in a steamy bowl of our legendary jambalaya, sip on a dangerously smooth Hurricane, and let the rhythm carry you through the day… or night. Here, bold flavors and irresistible vibes are where a little Southern decadence awaits. Cheers! 🥂
