Interested in getting the lowdown on the newest restaurant and retail additions to New Orleans? From a deli to a cigar bar, read on for a rundown of the newest businesses to recently make their debut.
Goldberg's Fine Foods
Head over to 925 Common St. in the Central Business District, and you'll find Goldberg's Fine Foods, a new deli offering sandwiches, bagels and more.
Until recently it was pretty hard to find New York-style bagels in New Orleans, but by bringing flavors like pumpernickel rye, honey wheat, and Asiago cheese to the neighborhood, Goldberg's simplifies the quest for bagel authenticity. Other menu items include popular breakfast and lunch fare.
El Libre
Getting tired of the city's ubiquitous fried-shrimp, oyster, and catfish po'boys? Wander over to 3151 Calhoun St. in Fontainebleau and you'll find the new El Libre, a Cuban spot that recently relocated from across town.
After closing its French Quarter location and settling uptown, Yelpers are excited about the new location, expressing appreciation for its larger menu. The upgraded El Libre currently has five stars out of three reviews on Yelp.
Cuban Crafters Cigar Lounge
Cuban Crafters Cigar Lounge is now open at 533 Toulouse St. in the French Quarter. The cigar bar and tobacco shop currently holds five stars out of 11 reviews on Yelp, proving it's been a hit thus far.
A look inside the establishment reveals a room full of leather lounge chairs and marble tile surrounded by large columns and subdued hues. The cigar bar invites visitors to play chess, dominoes, or Texas Hold 'em at one of its many game tables. More so, Cuban Crafters features an extensive selection of cigars as well as an impressive a of whiskey and spirits to sample.
