\’pik-(,)nik\ – 1. Derived from pique-nique in France in 1692, a jolly meal together in an idyllic spot (away from distractions and demands, often outdoors) a meal to which everyone contributes something and everyone is welcome; associated with card playing, drinking and conversation; evolved by New Orleanians into crawfish boils and Saints tailgating damn near anywhere; from poboys for 2 at The Fly to family reunions in City Park and elegant tented affairs on the banks of Bayou St. John; attended by people who have a strong affinity for gingham and are likely to “skinny dip at night.

Darryl Reginelli co-founded one of New Orleans’ most popular pizzerias 20 years ago, with 9 locations. Because Darryl has a background in fine dining, Reginelli’s Pizzeria is known for showcasing premium ingredients and respecting classical traditions. But with the founder’s penchant for fun, Darryl’s menus also exhibit a creative use of Louisiana ingredients.

CLOSEWhen the three founders of Picnic Provisions & Whiskey set out to celebrate the joyful American picnic, they sprinkled it with the culinary magic of New Orleans.
The team at Picnic Provisions & Whiskey is inspired by the five powerful words painted on the dining room wall:
Picnic. This is the essence of our culinary and hospitality philosophy.
Share. Without sharing, any meal—whether it be a picnic or elaborate tasting menu—is less memorable.
Laugh. Life can be serious, and some restaurants take their food too seriously, but a meal without laughter is a missed opportunity.
Yummy. Need we say more?
Purpose. Purpose fuels one’s soul, and the hospitality we provide our guests is our purpose in life.
