New Orleans – October 30, 2026 -- Café Alice, a new all-day café and bar, has opened at The Roosevelt New Orleans, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel, and serves guests daily from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. It replaces the former Teddy’s Café at the hotel, which has been open since 1893 and sits a few steps from the French Quarter.

The namesake is Theodore Roosevelt’s eldest daughter

The café honors Alice Roosevelt, first daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt, the hotel’s namesake. The source describes her as one of the most talked-about figures of her time. The menu and décor borrow her unconventional streak.
