Four Brand New Spots To Try in New Orleans This Week

Yes, summer is here, but any sign of the doldrums seems to be lurking somewhere in the distance (hello, month of August) with numerous restaurant openings still happening around town.  The last week alone ushered in Mid City's Fharmacy, a fancy Waffle House on Canal, The Halal Guys in the CBD, and the Marigny gastropub Anna's (which may already be closed, albeit temporarily).

Here now, four more openings to kick off your work week.

Status: Certified open at 3121 Magazine St.,  Mon-Fri, 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sat-Sun, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. On Instagram and Facebook. [Eaterwire]
