	Welcome to the Best of New Orleans!
		Peristyle's copper bar, the back bar, and most of the floor tiles survived the smoke and water damage and remain as relics for the wistful.
		But she forgave Peristyle its lighter, cleaner renovations because, she said, "the food is so good and the people so dear." It was her third time back since the re-opening.
		It is the multiple layers of loyalty demonstrated by the regular Friday night barstool diner, Kearney's reverence for each minced shallot and every reduced sauce, and the artful reminder of the framed glass door that was shattered last November by three hits of a fireman's ax.

		As Peristyle's co-owner and marquee talent, Anne Kearney Sand was, despite taking the reins while still in her 20s, a throwback: A skilled technician with a respect for tradition, an affection for her ingredients and a firm belief that the bold-faced name on the menu should have intimate involvement in the preparation of your dinner.
		Peristyle may not be what it was, but its new owner has maintained its rank among the finest restaurants in the city.
		Peristyle's service may be more casual than it once was -- I waited almost five minutes in the foyer one night before a staffer appeared -- but with new faces mixed with the familiar ones, the crew is sweet-tempered and well-informed.

	THE POMPEIAN HOUSE
		From the 2nd century BC onwards, the colonnaded peristyle, derived from the wealthy houses of the Hellenistic cities, was assimilated in the primitive Pompeian domus.
		The peristyle, with sixteen marble Ionic columns supporting the inner margins of the roof and forming an arcade, was in the form of a garden (virdarium) with flower beds, statuary, fountains and water basins.
		The lararium, or domestic sanctuary, in the form of a small temple is incorporated in the atrium, in an adjoining chamber, or in the peristyle.

	Peristyle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Roman architecture a peristyle is a columned porch or open colonnade in a building that surrounds a court that may contain an internal garden.
		In the Christian ecclesiastical architecture that developed from Roman precedents, a basilica, such as Old St Peter's in Rome, would stand behind a peristyle forecourt that sheltered it from the street.

	Peristyle - History for Kids!
		The earliest peristyle courtyards that we know of were in Greek houses, beginning around the Classical period.
		Peristyles were also common in wealthier Roman houses, all over the Roman Empire, beginning about the time of the Julio-Claudian Emperors.
		The columns that go all the way around the outside of a temple are also a peristyle, so a temple that has them, like this one from Paestum in southern Italy, is called a peristyle temple.

		Peristyle, the 62-seat restaurant on Dumaine Street at the edge of the French Quarter in New Orleans, has risen like a Phoenix and is still flying high in this city rich with chef-owned restaurants.
		Peristyle, which Kearney Sand opened with original chefowner John Neal in 1992 and bought in 1995 after Neal's death, carries on the intimate, customer-focused philosophy of the founder.
		Peristyle gets its name from the colonnade in New Orlean's City Park, which is replicated in a 9-foot by 13-foot mural in the restaurant.

	The Domus
		Around the perimeter of the peristyle was a stone gutter to catch rain water from the roof of the colonnade which surrounded the peristyle.
		A bronze statuette of Bacchus and a satyr and a small statuette of Bacchus riding a leopard attached to a bronze lampstand were found in the portico near the peristyle.
		If we accept the idea that the peristyle was built at the same time as the atrium, it would be hard to account for this oversight of a view from this room, given the importance that is given to sight lines in almost all other rooms of the house.

		Soon after a four-alarm fire raged through Peristyle in November 1999, chef-owner Anne Kearney stood at the Dumaine Street entrance and peered straight through her restaurant to the alley behind.
		One depicts the peristyle that the restaurant is named for; both are considered treasures.
		Peristyle's salads are exquisite down to the last detail, from the white, tart, hair-thin julienned apple in the endive salad to the supple, poached Gulf shrimp that Kearney pairs with green beans so pretty I'd wear them laced around my neck.

		As shown by the excavations, this was surrounded by an elaborate colonnade featuring almost baroque Ionic capitals with a lower part of pointed leaves.
		Although this colonnade dates to the early second century, the surrounding structures indicate that the peristyle must have had the same lay-out in earlier periods.
		Within the peristyle was probably a fountain and a moderate garden.

		The basin inside the peristyle is of red marble and was brought from Chios by the scholarly monk Kaissarios Dapontes about 1763, when the present katholikon was being built.
		Above the columns the structure continues with eight built, glass-enclosed arches and a hemispherical canopy painted on the inside with scenes connected with baptism and the blessing of the waters.
		The external faces are decorated as follows: two have an intaglio lozenge and a surround of elliptical or foliar shapes respectively; two identical panels have double contiguous lozenges within Baroque ornamentation; and on the fifth is the inscription referring to the construction of the peristyle (1783), within two frames surrounded by a vegetal ornament.

		A peristyle is a colonnade around a peripteral building or around a court.
		By the time that Vitruvius wrote his book, it was normal for Roman houses to have peristyle gardens, so Virtruvius doesn't try to explain what they are, he just focused on correct proportions for columns of the Doric order.
		We think of peristyle gardens as Roman, but they seem to have developed in southern Italy; before that area was conquered by Rome.

	The Roman Domus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		This type of house, as the term describes, is based around the atrium, a central courtyard in the front of the house off of which the main rooms branch, and a peristyle, a garden in the rear of the house.
		Between the atrium and the peristyle, is one of the most important rooms of the house, the tablinium.
		The peristyle is positioned perpendicular to the atrium, and should be "one-third wider than they are deep." (VI.c.III) Within, the colonnade should be equal in height and breadth with not too much space between columns.

	TCA Journal Excerpts (5)
		When the peristyle replaced the hortus in the second century b.c., architects took care to continue the axial view to its back wall, locating the peristyle whenever possible on the fauces-atrium-tablinum axis in order to extend to the maximum the long view from the entryway.
		Because the parcels of land acquired by the owner for the addition of the peristyle were irregular, a regular plan was impossible: there was no way to center the peristyle on the domus's axis.
		The secondary axis along the western peristyle shows how important the cult of the ancestors was to the owner (he even had the exedra sheltering the altar (3) decorated to imitate a venerable rural sanctuary), and the axis of the triclinum calls attention to its great size (the largest in Pompeii).

		THE PERISTYLE - This magnificient colonnade takes its name from a projected peristyle of columns that was to have encircled the harbor of the Fair, but was happily abandoned for this simplier and more beautiful form.
		The promenade beneath its colonnade at night, under the incandescent lights that ornamented as well as illuminated its high spaces, was much frequented, especially by visitors who were watching the display of fireworks.
		The inscriptions on the Peristyle were suggested by President Eliot of Harvard University.

	The Garden
		To the Romans, the peristyle was a ‘mini-paradise.’ It was a garden court that was surrounded by a covered, colonnaded walkway.
		As the atrium was located in the front of the house and was the hub around which several rooms were located, the peristyle garden was the center of the back portion of the house, being surrounded on all sides by dining rooms, bedrooms, and other spaces.
		A remarkable aspect of the peristyle garden was the use of pools and fountains.

	Villa Romana del Casale, Piazza Armerina [Introduction - part 1 of 8] (Photo Archive)
		The villa was a single-story building, centred around the peristyle, around which almost all the main public and private rooms were organised.
		The higher ground to the east is occupied by the Great Basilica, the private apartments and the Corridor of the Great Hunt, the middle ground by the Peristyle, guest rooms, the entrance area, the Elliptical Peristyle and the Triclinium, while the lower ground to the west is dedicated to the thermal baths.
		The primary axis is the (slightly bend) line that passes from the atrium, tablinum, peristyle and the great basilica (coinciding with the path visitors would follow), while the thermal baths and the elliptical peristyle with the triclinium are centred on separate axes.

	Welcome to the Best of New Orleans! Restaurant Review 08 10 04
		Chef and part-owner Anton Schulte was Anne Kearney's chef de cuisine (Kearney and husband Tom Sand sold Peristyle to Chef Tom Wolfe in June); Schulte's wife, Diane, the unflappable dining room director, is another Peristyle alum.
		A caramelized onion, mushroom duxelle and goat cheese tart built upon a raft of puff pastry and surrounded by a shimmer of fragrant basil oil is a sweet cousin to Peristyle's pissaladiere.
		As at Peristyle, the hook of most entrees is their remarkable reduction sauces.

		I was disappointed with Peristyle in my one visit there earlier this winter.

	Appetites: Peristyle
		Peristyle, one of the finest restaurants in New Orleans, is going to change dramatically in a few days.
		Still, Anne Kearney-Sand is one hell of a Chef, and Peristyle was always a wonderful place to eat.
		Wolfe's is all about bold flavors and nothing that comes from that kitchen can be considered "bland!" Chef Kearney would not of personally handed her restaurant over to someone that she didn't have her complete confidence in.
