Or do they close because most people are boiling crawfish and having fish fry’s?

ETA I haven’t left my house on Good Friday in years. I’m usually the one entertaining everyone else.

They are open and would love your business because this is a traditionally slow weekend.

Of course they are! How can we all be good martyrs without our boiled crawfish, seafood platters, and sushi?

We are closing for the weekend. Let everyone eat crawfish and ham, I'm going to take a couple days off for the first time since New Year's day.

Which is kinda funny to think about when you consider how insane Easter brunch is for higher end spots. How there can be that much contrast, but obviously makes sense.

I think the number of closed restaurants consolidates those customers into the open restaurants and make them a lot busier. Also those eating out for Easter are looking for a higher end meal, making those restaurants that don't fit that in demand cuisine with less demand even though they are open.

I will take the break after we just did that 10 wings for $3.99 promotion. People flocked to that

Easter brunch

One of my favorites over the years was the late Palace Cafe Easter Jazz Brunch in NO. Crabmeat cheesecake and filet Oscar for the win.

Went for lunch and it was packed out. Got lucky finding chairs at the bar. Thanks for running my loaded tots to me. The runners needed all the help they could get. Gave Angel a big birthday tip.

I never realized it was that big of a thing. You have parties for it?
