I remember 8 years ago when @grisgrisnola opened. Through July you can get a taste of that time (and it’s throwback prices) on the 2018 menu and then that’s it … Gris Gris will close for good.

Chef Eric Cook confirmed the news today, after a long fight to keep the business going.

“I gave it everything, but we couldn’t get it back on the level,” Eric told me.

Pictured, a couple Gris Gris standards - the oyster BLT, the mom’s chicken and dumplings, the chicken and andouille gumbo.

You have until the end of July for another visit.

The location is distinctive, with an open kitchen and dining counter (from its predecessor, the ahead-of-its-tasting-menu-time Square Root), and upstairs tavern with wraparound balcony.

What could be here next?

Visiting @bar1865nola , you arrive at a historic townhouse in downtown New Orleans that reveals an enchanting anachronism — a den of Old World elegance serving food and cocktails with a fresh, modern verve.

And it’s open only three nights a week.

The floor plan still resembles that of an old house, all steeped in a 40-watt glow against faded brickwork.

It’s as if the process of elegant decay was halted and the space refreshed, a mixture of patina and polish.

The ambience is so lush, it’s practically tactile.

The menu, from chef @thatcheflisa , is well-tuned for a self-guided tasting tour of small plates.

It’s a bit French, highly seasonal and creative and in sync with the cocktail focus at the bar.

Intensely flavorful and not heavy, these are dishes that glide in for smooth landings, paced out to have another round from the bar.

Here’s a look around, link in my bio has the story for the full read:

A @commanderspalace dessert storm was not in the forecast, but occurred anyway.

And how about dragging some table bread through the pepper jelly sauce on the second order of shrimp Henican?

Also, new on the cocktail list, that’s a La-Ti-Da, essentially a tequila martini with onion brine.

Sazerac for scale.

More to come on this but … given how fast the specials change at @porgysnola , I wouldn’t want to miss these betel leaf-wrapped royal red shrimp, nor the crab and peach salad and that fat softie po-boy with banh mi dressing is no slouch either.

Seriously satisfying summer lunch.
