Apparently it's closed down. Tried to go today for lunch and it was shuttered. Did it move or what?

This was discussed a while back. Think they're turning it into a taco joint.

same owners so it's going to suck most likely

just like Nawlins Jazz which recently shut down…not sure what they are doing inside the building but it's going to be the same owners so just as shitty.

But yeah, Byblos sucked

The one time I ate there I thought it was pretty solid. Nothing earth shattering.

I've only been to the one in Metairie as it's in my lunch roatation. I like the shawarma there better than that place from BR.

No they are renting the building. Their place in the French market must be printing money because it's been open for 18 months+ now & I highly doubt they have had a profitable month yet.

I looked it up. He's right. It's going to be a Taqueria. Same owners.

Looks like Arana is now open. Nola.com

quote:

The first week, Araña will open at 3 p.m. Starting next Monday (Aug. 18) it will add lunch. At the Monday through Friday happy hour from 3–7 p.m., tacos, margaritas, sangria, beers and wines by the glass are all half priced.


Menu

Prices look reasonable enough.

Wow. I walked past it early Sunday morning and it didn't look ready. Must not have changed decor much.






R2R will it be nonsmoking?

Just passed by. Decor has changed, but seating numbers look the same as the old Byblos.

Prices looked good too. Will check it out.

Some of those tacos sound good.

Happy Hour may be in my near future.
