The lovely Rosella, a charming new Mid-City cafe, wine bar, and restaurant, is worth visiting for the small plates and wine prices — the andouille corn dog, cold red bean salad, and smoked catfish dip are all delightful. But there's also a special happy hour deal every day it’s open, whether it’s fried pickles and a pint for $8 or $12 carafes of wine — adding an additional reason to stop by. Whatever the deal, it will run from 4 to 6 p.m.
