Once again, we extend our thanks to everyone at The Palm Court Jazz Cafe, for allowing us to share a splendid evening of music & fellowship.  Many of our guests were experiencing NOLA for the first time, and The Palm Court was certainly a memorable experience for them.  The Chiefs of The FDNY clearly enjoyed their evening at The Palm Court.

Thanks to all, & Enjoy A Peace Filled Thanksgiving Holiday,

Anita & Rich
