 | ForbesJuly 14, 2019 The Elysian Bar in New Orleans’ Marigny neighborhood occupies the 150-year-old rectory of Saints Peter & Paul. Set behind a gated garden of pygmy palms, the building is an inviting confection of brick and marzipan stucco. I don’t so much walk through the arched doorway as a magnetizing presence inside summons me forth, the single gas lantern flickering above my head like biblical tongues. |

 | Dallas NewsJune 11, 2019 The brown-brick block-long complex still looks exactly the same as when it was a church built in 1860, a rectory and convent afterward, and a school built in 1900. It gives no hint to the stylish boutique hotel within, a remarkable preservation whose church is now a stained-glass-windowed event space. Altar candlesticks have been repurposed as lamps, and the rectory is now a bar whose libations and food are from Bacchanal, a local wine shop whose huge backyard is the site of a perennial night party where live bands play. |
