The spot is being taken over by the District Doughnut group in mid-November.

The tiny place won’t sell sliders. It won’t have District’s exuberantly creative doughnuts (those can be found across the street at Whole Foods every day until noon).

But it will have all of District’s coffees and milks, including a few new drinks on draft. The Uptown spot will also sell both sweet and savory turnovers and hand pies.

In October, District will introduce a food truck. The truck will have doughnuts, sliders, french fries and coffee on draft. It will operate six days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. All profits from the truck will be given to the nonprofit CrossroadsNOLA.

I've never been to District as they're not convenient and I don't crave doughnuts. I am disappointed to hear the official news about Velvet, but I guess that was to be expected.
