Sur La Table opens their newest location today at the Domain Northside and I had the pleasure getting a sneak peek at the digs. From the moment I walked in, I felt kid living out my fantasy in a grown-up candy store. With the recent season change, I was especially excited about the fall-friendly products. Sur La Table has an impressive collection of upscale cookware and adorable kitchen essentials to spark my seasonal creativity mojo.
I love Sur La Table because it’s a one stop shop for all my entertaining and kitchen needs and the prices are fairly reasonable for an upscale store. Browsing through the store got me excited for the holidays and I found quite a few must-have items to take home.
If you were like me you’d probably spend half the day buying everything in the store. I’ll spare you with listing everything I put in my bag, and instead highlight my top 5 items you should buy to inspire your fall creativity.
You can make your own pumpkin spice lattes with the Pumpkin Spice Syrup from Sur La Table! Actually, all the consumables at Sur La Table are fall ready. From the Halloween sugar cookies, to popcorn kernels, and to the seasoning mixes for everything from brussel sprouts to gravy!
As the fall holidays approach, there are more cozy in home entertaining opportunities. I don’t know about you but my aprons can get a little ragged with stains from prior cooking endeavors. How about a pretty new apron to look your best while you channel your domestic god(ess) at your next dinner party? There’s quite a selection and all at reasonable prices. While you’re at it, how are your potholders looking?
There’s a wide array of cookbooks scattered through the store that would make great additions to your collection. Bring in some new inspiration for your fall gatherings and holidays! They also make wonderful hostess gifts.
Are you like me and have some plain and tired pyrex baking dishes you do all your cooking in? How about some new colorful oven safe ware that are colorful and pretty enough to set right on your table? Or some pretty serving platters so the pyrex can stay in the kitchen and off your beautiful fall dining tablescapes?
It’s all in the details and Sur La Table has your table details covered. You can find festive and decorative ornaments peppered all over the store that elevate your family dinners to celebratory occasions. I particularly like the acorn ornaments I found!
All in all, it was an inspiring visit to Sur La Table and I cannot wait to see what kind of cooking classes they’ll offer in their amazing kitchen. Welcome to the Domain Northside, Sur La Table!

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
