There's a new building going up on Clearview in Elmwood that appears to have a drive up window. It was on the site of the Shell station near McDonald's. It kind of looks like the size and shape of the nearby NO Hamburger & Seafood. Anybody know what it might be?

Secondly, the new Le's Vietnamese and Seafood on Airline was dark tonight with no cars in sight. I had reported on my visit there in this thread, LINK. A lot of you were saying it wouldn't last with prices that high. Does anyone have any info on this place?

Lastly, there is some renovation work being done on the former Taco Tico location on Veterans. It took them a while to find a new tenant (I'm glad, since they raised the lease on TT and forced them out). I haven't heard anything about this new place, have you?

Best new restaurant in a long time to open in Metairie was Marcellos.

If it is, they will do fine. There are consistent long lines at the one on Veterans.

Pump for the Chickfila but it still hurts to talk about the Taco Tico. I guess time will heal those wounds.

I'd also like to add Pho Bistreaux is opening up a location on Mounes in Elmwood.

Same place that's off Oak? Their pho is terrible. Or at least it was two years ago, I haven't been back.
