In a full-circle moment, Turning Tables returned to the West Village to honor the roots of its founder, Touré Folkes, with a bar takeover at Joseph Leonard. Featuring cocktails crafted by alumni and current JL bartenders, the evening celebrated mentorship, memory, and the power of hospitality to build community across cities and generations.

Partnering with the New Orleans African American Museum represents the perfect alignment of our shared missions to honor, preserve, and build upon Black cultural contributions in this city.
