Damn. That Nicaud guy always made sure everything was running well too. Never had a bad experience there. He'd come by, introduce himself, ask if everything was ok. Mot in an annoying way either.

Seemed to be well run from a customer prospective. Duck Tacos were legit.

The BR location was always a bit of a money drain for them and was funded by the New Orleans location and Red Dog.

how often do you visit New Orleans?

Everyone under 30 who visits New Orleans hangs out Uptown most of the time. Just because it is Uptown doesn't mean custies aren't flocking to it. Next time you're on Mag, take a peek at the crowd there and let me know what you think.


About 25% of those people are tourist. Most are people that live there.

Or their inability to jump on PPP because all of the usual fat cats earmarked it first. You know, typical government style. Get angry at the right shite.


THe right shite is all the fear mongers and politicians that used them to shut the service sector down.

I wonder if this will adversely affect olive or twist’s business?

You people on the left are some of the dumbest bunch I’ve ever seen. He’s not sky screaming. He complaining about specific actions and decisions. Do you even know what sky screaming is?

The curve is flat as hell. People regurgitate this because they hear the news cramming it down our throats and they are scared. I am so done with this shite.

Eh not really. You probably have some local basic college kids go there, but anyone with a hint of class/culture is going to better establishments.

Locals can be custies too, baw

I don't really know what you mean by "on the left". I don't have blind partisanship like you or your Aryan brothers.

Posting the same whines thread after thread after thread on an anonymous internet message board is the same as screaming at the sky. A lot of people use this to either be keyboard warriors or crybabies because their opinion falls on deaf ears IRL (if they are even brave enough to express them IRL)

Why do you keep coming back if you hate it so much?

Oh and btw, I don’t believe you go to Magazine St 2 or 3 times a month for 20 something years.

Wasn’t really a fan, but hate to see any local place close.

Don’t get why they’d announce this now instead of giving this weekend a go.

Seems odd to announce the day before they can open back up in some capacity.

Probably couldn’t get product or people to come back to work. I’d imagine a lot of restaurants that just completely closed lost a lot of product.

You asked me how often I visit New Orleans, not Magazine. However, it is accurate if we start at age 18.

Wouldn't be surprised if a quarter to a third of NO restaurants don't return. Some good places will be lost.

Wonder if there was some loss of business insurance due to emergency / natural disaster that would go away if they reopened? Does something like that exist?
