The bundle adds a second charger, a housing and a course

Besides the MISSION 1 PRO camera, the bundle contains a dual battery charger, so a second battery stays ready between dives. The PADI course teaches divers to shoot better underwater video and photos, and to edit footage in GoPro's Quik app.

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.

Executive Chef Daniel Mills builds the menu around Alice’s life

Breakfast includes Alice’s Emily Spinach Benedict, named for her pet garter snake. The Alice Blue Latte gets its pale blue shade from spirulina and combines coconut, vanilla, espresso and coconut milk. The color is named for the shade she wore so often.
