"Effervescence is the rare place where everybody’s drinking champagne and eating caviar, but nobody’s actually judging you. It’s a fun and low-key French Quarter bar where the champagne cocktails are the thing to prioritize, whether that’s a kir royale or the absinthe-kissed Death in the Afternoon cocktail. The food is pretty good, too—they have a grilled half wheel of triple cream cow’s milk cheese that’s served with dates and crostini, gulf oysters, and deviled eggs with, you guessed it, caviar." - Megan Braden-Perry
