The first stop on the series will be Palm and Pine, located at 308 N Rampart St. This small but mighty gem has withstood the Hard Rock collapse and the pandemic and continues to delight locals and visitors alike with its unique take on regional fare supplied by local vendors and farmers. Palm and Pine showcases food and drink from “Louisiana, the south, and south of that (the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America).” At the Pine Bar, you will find cocktails created around agave and cane spirits. We’ll grab some nibbles to share, and you grab a neighbor and come down and support our local businesses!
 
Hope to see you there!
