Five new restaurants to try in the Greater New Orleans area

by: Christian Olivier

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The Greater New Orleans area is known for many unique cultural aspects, but perhaps the most noteworthy of them is the wide variety of food available to hungry inquirers from around the world.

For those who may be more accustomed to long-standing offerings, however, trying something new may very well be in order for an upcoming weekend out.

To help out prospective foodies, we’ve put together this list of five newly opened restaurants from across the culinary spectrum, hoping to offer something appealing to even the pickiest of eaters.

1. City Market

For a wide variety of foods and flavors, City Market at 1101 Elysian Fields Ave. in New Orleans is an ideal choice.

The market features six distinct eateries offering many items, including hamburgers, baked goods, sushi, bubble tea, Cajun staples and Vietnamese cuisine.

City Market may be a good option for groups of picky eaters, as the numerous options serve to provide something for everyone.

The establishment is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday, and from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

2. Rascal Blues Chicken and Waffles

Rascal Blues, located at 1801 Rousseau St. in New Orleans, offers sweet and savory Southern foods for a comforting, at-home feeling.

The restaurant, which opened on Aug. 3, is of course known for their chicken and waffles, but also offers many soul-food staples such as greens, corn bread and mac and cheese.

Rascal Blues is open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and may be the perfect choice for people looking for an indulgent meal in a family-centric, musical and culturally unique setting.

3. Tacos del Cartel

Back in April, Tacos del Cartel opened a fresh location in New Orleans at 1010 Girod St., and with renovations happening at their older Metairie location as well, now is the perfect time to check out this vibrant spot for street tacos and Tex-Mex cuisine.

The restaurant offers a wide variety of tacos for customers to choose from, including eight specialty options, such as their duck carnitas taco, and eight traditional options, such as the classic tacos de asada, which is made with flank steak.

Tacos Del Cartel also offers many sides, soups, desserts and larger meals for groups. The New Orleans location is open on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., on Tuesday and Friday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. and on Sunday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.

4. Sushi Takumi

This new Japanese restaurant, located only a block away from the Superdome at 703 Carondelet St. in the Central Business District of New Orleans, was started in part because the owner, Johnny Wang, noticed a lack of affordable sushi restaurants.

Sushi Takumi has also recently gained notoriety from its introduction of a “Taylor Swift Roll” ahead of the singer’s upcoming show in New Orleans.

A walk through Cajun and Creole origins and histories

The restaurant offers many, many varieties of sushi for customers to choose from, including classics like the California and Crunchy Rolls, and specialty rolls like the House Steak Roll, made with shrimp, snow crab and seared beef with avocado inside and scallions, BBQ eel sauce and spicy mayo on top.

Sushi Takumi is open from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, from 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Friday, from 11:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Saturday and from 11:30 a.m. 9:30 p.m. on Sunday. The restaurant is closed on Tuesday.

5. Savvy’s Sliders

Savvy Sliders, the fastest growing slider restaurant in the U.S., has opened a new location at 2565 Metairie Rd. in Metairie, bringing to this list a faster, more everyday kind of cuisine for the those who prefer to keep things simple.

One of Savvy’s main selling points is serving fresh, never frozen sliders in a variety of different configurations in order to meet anyone’s preference.

The fast-food joint offers simple staples on their sliders, such as angus beef, but also offer more unique options, such as the “Boomin’ Chicken” slider, made with fried chicken, pickles, lettuce and Savvy’s “Boom Sauce.”

For those less interested in sliders, the restaurant also features hand-breaded chicken fingers, fries, cheese curds, onion rings and well as nine different flavors of custard shakes.

Savvy’s Sliders is open from 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Sunday through Thursday, and from 10:30 a.m. to 12 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

A Vanishing Bounty: Louisiana’s Coastal Environment and Culture

Explore the beauty and history of Louisiana's natural environment and the threats to its continued existence posed by human habitation.

As recently reported by Fox 8, the Northshore of Greater New Orleans has become “a hotbed of transformation, experiencing unprecedented growth.”

Two recent announcements typify this growth, with legacy industries doubling down, and entrepreneurship bubbling up:

Chevron - Chevron Corporation, with its Gulf of Mexico headquarters in Covington, announced a technological breakthrough that will allow the company to start pumping oil from the Anchor oilfield, which operates in approximately mile-deep water 140 miles off the coast of Louisiana. Brent Gros, Vice President, Gulf of Mexico Business Unit at Chevron, said this advancement will help secure over 500 Chevron Northshore jobs. The technology developed by Chevron, together with oil services company Transocean and other partners, has made it possible to operate deepwater oil and gas extraction at higher pressure than previous limits. “First oil from Anchor is a major technological milestone in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, culminating from a decadelong effort from operators, service companies and regulators," Wood Mackenzie analyst Mfon Usoro wrote. You can read more about Chevron’s Anchor announcement here.

Palette - To help develop new technologies - and new entrepreneurs - Palette, a workspace & resource community, is opening its first location in St. Tammany at the end of 2024, in the office complex at 201 Holiday Boulevard in Covington. Palette was founded by Louisiana native Catherine Hover, who built two successful Palette locations in New York. Co-founders of Palette Northshore include former President and CEO of Stirling Properties Marty Mayer, estate advisor Bradley Cook and local entrepreneur Rory Gallardo. Palette Northshore’s physical space, designed by Greenleaf Architects, features multiple co-working spaces and private offices, event space, conference rooms, a podcast studio, outdoor workspace, and a connected café. Palette partners include St. Tammany Corporation, STartUP Northshore, Greater New Orleans Inc., The Idea Village, and Southeastern Louisiana University.  You can read more about Palette, and join, here.

Additional recent Northshore good news includes:

• Beier Integrated Systems unveiled an expansion plan, adding 15,000 square feet to their current facility in Slidell. This will allow the company to retain more than 30 existing jobs and create additional positions, with an average salary of $80,000
• St. Tammany Corporation has been recognized with two 2024 Excellence in Economic Development Awards from the International Economic Development Council (IEDC): 
• GOLD: NSpire Startup Slam Pitch Competition – Special Event
• BRONZE: St. Tammany Corporation – Economic Development Organization (EDO) of the Year

Book Launch: Nicholas Meyer - Sherlock Holmes and the Telegram From Hell, September 3, 6:00PM

Book Launch: Nicholas Meyer - Sherlock Holmes and the Telegram From Hell

In conversation with Christopher Tidmore.

June, 1916. With a world war raging on the continent, exhausted John H. Watson, M.D. is operating on the wounded full-time when his labors are interrupted by a knock on his door, revealing Sherlock Holmes, with a black eye, a missing tooth and a cracked rib. The story he has to tell will set in motion a series of world-changing events in the most consequential case of the detective's career.

Amid rebellion in Ireland and revolution in Russia, Germany has a secret plan to win the war and Sir William Melville of the British Secret Service dispatches the two aging friends to learn what the scheme is before it can be put into effect. In pursuit of a mysterious coded telegram sent from Berlin to an unknown recipient in Mexico, Holmes and Watson must cross the Atlantic, dodge German U-boats and assassination attempts, and evade the intrigues of young J. Edgar Hoover, while enlisting the help of a beautiful, eccentric Washington socialite as they seek to foil the schemes of Holmes's nemesis, the escaped German spymaster Von Bork.

Sherlock Holmes and the Telegram from Hell plunges Holmes into a world that eerily resembles our own, where entangling alliances, treaties, and human frailty threaten to create another cataclysm.

What a Difference a Year Makes...

Vintage variation in wine refers to the differences in the characteristics and quality of wines produced from the same vineyard or region in different years. These variations are primarily influenced by the weather and climate conditions experienced during a particular growing season, including factors such as temperature, rainfall, and sunshine. In years with ideal weather conditions, such as a balanced mix of sun and rain, grapes can ripen perfectly, leading to a vintage with well-structured, flavorful wines. Conversely, a growing season with too much rain, frost, or extreme heat can result in grapes that are under-ripe, overripe, or unevenly developed, leading to wines that may lack balance or complexity. Additionally, the timing of the harvest, influenced by weather patterns, can impact the final wine, as grapes picked too early or too late may not achieve their full potential. As a result, each vintage offers a unique snapshot of that year’s conditions, making wine an ever-changing, dynamic product where no two vintages are exactly alike.

Wine vintages are then rated by a combination of wine critics, publications, and organizations that assess the quality of wines produced in a specific year. These ratings are typically based on factors such as the weather conditions during the growing season, the quality of the grapes harvested, and the overall character and potential longevity of the wines produced.

In this tasting, we'll discuss these variations and how certain growing conditions affect wine, good or bad. We'll be tasting wines from selected, highly rated vintages in their respective regions around the world, and then ask you to rate the wine and see how your ratings correspond to the vintage rating. Join David Sobiesk for this fun, tasting and informative event!

For total beginners to swing dancing or dancing of any kind. Also for those looking to refresh their basics and learn some ragtime dances. We use these pre-swing era dances to teach beginners how to step on rhythm, step on rhythm while connected to another person, how to connect in order to lead or follow, you'll learn to syncopate your footwork, and then we'll slowly start to let go of one hand and create the beginnings of what will eventually be a bad-ass swing out.

7:30-8:30 Lindy Hop Vocab - Intermediate Level

This class is gonna give you some must know moves, some technique, some philosophy, and of course, we'll continue to clarify and polish up your swing outs.

Based on the 2003 movie, School of Rock: The Musical tells the story of Dewey Finn, a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school who turns his class into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band.
