Come out for a happy hour where your opinion counts! Zagat will be at Bellocq in The Hotel Modern on Lee's Circle from 5:00 to 8:00 pm tonight! Zagat's New Orleans Restaurant Survey is currently live, and they'd love to get the opinions of folks from around the city. If you vote in the survey this evening they'll even buy you a drink - it's as easy as that! And be sure to bring your friends. The more, the merrier as far as they're concerned. Please make sure to RSVP below and let them know you're coming to this fun event.
