Special guests at the 2019 Mardi Gras luncheon
The Round Table Luncheon series is celebrating its 15th year. Since it began in August 2005, the monthly Round Table has been attracting a distinguished guest list of influential movers and shakers. Modeled after Dorothy Parker’s famed gatherings at the old Algonquin Hotel in New York, each luncheon focuses on a current topic of local interest focusing on the arts, cultural activities and philanthropic initiatives that set our community apart - and enhance our quality of life.

Tickets are $65 and include a three-course luncheon, champagne/wines and valet parking at the hotel. Tickets must be purchased in advance.

Margarita Bergen was born in Santo Domingo, but she was born to be a New Orleanian. She’s a fan of the ballet, symphony, theater, opera and the visual arts – not to mention champagne. Margarita describes herself as a “party animal” and doesn’t miss a beat when it comes to the Quarter’s jazzy social scene. Margarita’s master’s was in education and her career in school administration, but her passion now is celebrating. In a city with so much going on you can’t possibly do it all, here’s the woman who gives it the old college try. She’s fabulous, dahling!
