DTLA LIFE MAG #15 | MARCH 2015 | Page 26

Bienvenue to an experience you won’t soon forget. In a world of pared-down, minimal spaces, the faded but plush decadence of Vee Delgadillo’s The Little Easy is a wonderful ride. The front bar with its pressed tin ceiling, crystal chandeliers, patterned wallpaper and period furnishings feels like the living room of a Garden District baron, the backroom, a secret fountain patio of Bourbon Street speakeasy. A scaled-down Patty O’Brien if you will, minus the insects and humidity. Live jazz, ragtime, burlesque, and passwords for free shots all add up to a lot of fun. Embrace the spirits of Dixie with a Sazerac Milk Punch, Ramos Gin Fizz and/ or Hurricane and try a truly worthy Jambalaya.
