Sorry, We're Closed


Orleans Parish Civil District Court and the 24th JDC in Jefferson are both closed today in honor of All Saints Day. In my world, closings such as these are those little surprises that creep up on you at the worst possible moment, similar to needing a cashier's check on Columbus Day or a letter postmarked on Veterans Day (FYI, November 11th).

Sometimes unconventional restaurant closings can pull the sneak attack as well. How often have you had a roast beef craving only Parkway Bakery can satisfy, just to turn the corner on Hagan Avenue and realize that it's Tuesday? The disappointment is nothing short of being a Cowboys fan this year.

To save you from dining dismay, your friends at Blackened Out have compiled a list of restaurants that are closed on odd days. Sunday and Monday closings have been excluded, as those are most common, but we can amend the list if you readers deem it useful. Lastly, we are not perfect, so let us know in the comments what odd closings that we have forgotten about.

One final note. In planning his culinary itinerary for an upcoming trip to Paris, Rene discovered that Pierre Gagnaire, one of his top choices for a blowout dinner, is closed on (of all days) Saturday. I guess if the food is that good, diners don't complain about working around a chef's preferred schedule.
