Post-Storm New
Restaurants
People ask every couple of weeks: How many completely new restaurants have opened since the hurricane? Tom sez: According to my restaurant database, which I update daily, 168 new restaurant have appeared post-K. At least if you count them according to the same criteria I use for The New Orleans Menu Restaurant Index. (Not included: fast-food restaurants, most national chains, bars and coffeehouses.) Also excluded: restaurants that opened after the hurricane, closed, and had their former premises taken over by another new restaurant. I count as a new restaurant any establishment whose name and concept did not exist in August, 2005. A few of these were reopenings or relocations of restaurants that once operated well before the storm, but not at the time of it. The list of all 168 new post-K restaurants is here.
