While Louisiana grocery stores and most restaurants are closed on Tuesday, January 21, a few dedicated spots are open for business

As snow begins to blanket New Orleans on Tuesday, January 21, coating ice-cold roadways and threatening to burst pipes statewide, most grocery stores, restaurants, and coffee shops have announced they are closed for the day (at least). But a handful of brave restaurant owners have decided to open as usual on Tuesday, and Eater’s rounding them up here in hopes of helping make it worth their while.

Below, we’re tracking the restaurants open on Tuesday, January 21, and Wednesday, January 22, as of this writing. Do you know of a spot we missed? Let us (s)know; this list will continue to be updated.
