“Spooky Bed And Breakfasts The Whole Year Through"
www.NY1.com October 2006
Bed and Breakfasts are such inviting places to stay that some guests just never want to leave. NY1 visits a few that may not allow you to rest in peace.
Many B& B's are so cozy that lots of people request a late checkout. Some never leave at all, if you believe the ghost stories told by the folks at www.bedandbreakfast.com. It claims at least 75 of its 6,000 inns have reported eerie experiences, while many others stay mum for fear of scaring guests away.
To increase your likelihood of seeing an apparition, then check into a place such as the Magnolia Mansion in New Orleans. Many guests have reported meeting friendly ghosts when they stay in the room known as the Vampire's Lair. Click Here to read about our Haunted Happenings

New Orleans B&B's... Can you recommend a stylish, historic B&B in New Orleans?
-D. M., GARDINER, N.Y.
Built in 1858, the opulent Greek Revival Magnolia Mansion (2127 Prytania St.; 888/222-9235 or 504/412-9500; www.magnoliamansion.com ; doubles from $125) has been the setting for Jazzfest soirées, yet it still has an intimate feel (especially when you're strolling through the quiet courtyard surrounded by oak and magnolia trees). If you're looking for something a little less Gone with the Wind... To see complete story http://www.travelandleisure.com/invoke.cfm?ObjectID=BFF7C2C5-19A3-48AB-A0B55ACDE4534408

 “The Beauty of Louisiana Weddings”
“The starting point for any wedding is a fabulous venue. For planners seeking the cosmopolitan society of historic New Orleans, the Magnolia Mansion is an ideal choice. Built in 1858 in the Garden District, the home’s raised Greek revival architecture features a remarkable wrap-around veranda and eleven Corinthian columns. The property is versatile enough to accommodate any size wedding, from a private ceremony for just the bride and groom to festivities for 500 guests.
The mansion offers two courtyards, one very large and one smaller, filled with beautiful scented gardens.
The historic home is also a romantic, adult’s only Bed and Breakfast with nine uniquely-themed rooms, each with a private bath. With its proximity to the St. Charles, streetcar, antique shops on Magazine St., and major tourist attractions, out of town guests will be especially impressed. Magnolia Mansion’s wedding coordinator is available to arrange the catering, flowers, music, and everything else needed to stage a successful day. “

Rollin' on the river... Faux Tina finds her calling on Prytania
Hollie Vest, famed Tina Turner impersonator and entertainer, relocated from Las Vegas to New Orleans recently to add B&B operator and historic mansion preservationist to her fascinating résumé. Life has gone swimmingly ever since.
By Chris Rose - Staff writer/The Times-Picayune
One of my favorite topics of discussion is the Muse at work in New Orleans, that intangible and undefinable allure this city holds for entertainers, and creative people generally.
I love the stories of New England bankers who chuck it all to come here and open an art gallery (Jonathan Ferrara), or former sitcom stars who ditch Beverly Hills to open curio shops in the French Quarter (Harry Anderson), or rock stars who come to soak in the hot, mystical vibe and create new sounds and stories (a list too long to mention)...
