POINT<br />
“ARE YOU READY FOR IT?” shouts the<br />
parking valet at the Ritz-Carlton when we<br />
emerge from the hotel lobby. “Are you ready<br />
for it?” My friend Jenna and I have come<br />
down from our rooms dressed for dinner<br />
when he sees us. He takes off running and<br />
seconds later returns behind the wheel<br />
of our street-legal nail polish–red Garia<br />
luxury golf cart.<br />
The valet doesn’t bother to ask us for our<br />
ticket or room number. A er all, how many<br />
street-legal golf carts see the inside of the<br />
French Quarter Ritz-Carlton’s valet lot?<br />
Judging from all the people who begged<br />
for a ride or snapped photos this morning<br />
