About this piece

A city this serious about hosting deserves a tray with credentials: the etched river bends under the king cake, Pontchartrain holds the drink sweat, and the Quarter sits roughly beneath wherever the deviled eggs land. Crawfish season, Mardi Gras season, and regular Tuesday all count as occasions.

Laissez les bons temps rouler, on a wipeable surface.

The city's carved depths hang as the New Orleans 3D chart.
