We are not able to be involved in our tenants’ hiring schedules and thus we are usually not aware when they are hiring until they contact us to place those listings on their tenant page of the website. Your best option will be to contact each tenant you are interest in working for (maybe pick a day to come out and drop by to fill out applications) and then follow-up with phone calls every few weeks to see if there are positions that have opened. You'll find a complete listing of our tenants (with their phone numbers) in the Directory. You can call the tenant you're interested in first to see if stopping by to apply would be a good idea.
We recommend starting the evening at GameWorks for some exciting video games, have a dinner at one of the restaurants, and then catch a show at Funny Bone Comedy Club or Shadowbox. Bar Louie has a great atmosphere that guests seem to love to experience for bachelor and bachelorette parties. You'll find that many of the restaurants love having a group such as yours and will be happy to make reservations for you. You can contact the individual restaurants by phone and you can view Levee restaurant's individual menus and contact information in the Directory.
Each restaurant has its own unique flavor and by browsing the Directory, you may decide you want to choose an Italian and larger restaurant like Brio, or a more intimate setting like Cafe Istanbul. Claddagh Irish Pub is cozy and fun; Jeff Ruby’s Tropicana is lively and again is known for its food and service. Mitchell's Fish Market is a favorite for many - especially anyone who likes seafood, and GameWorks offers fun for all ages.
You will find some hotels have Newport on the Levee certificate packages, and by participating in those packages, you and your friends can enjoy special offers at many of the Levee venues.
Taxis and the Southbank Shuttle are great ways to get around the area. Both options will drop you off at the Levee or at your hotel
at the end of your evening.
