Two days of free admission and a grand opening gala are the highlights of three days of events that will celebrate the reopening of the Southern Food & Beverage Museum in New Orleans.

Now, with the restaurant fully operational, the Museum of the American Cocktail open and the Absinthe Gallery about to open, it is ready to show off its new venue in style.
