The chef behind Banh Mi Boys is opening a new NOLA restaurant. There won’t be sandwiches.

The team behind Banh Mi Boys is bringing a new restaurant to a vacated hoagie shop in New Orleans, but this Oak Street location won’t be serving sandwiches. Chef and owner Peter Nguyen announced plans on social media Tuesday to take over the building that most recently held PrimoHoagies at 8228 Oak Street, a prime location in the Leonidas neighborhood surrounded by other bars, shops and cafes. While Nguyen said he hopes to have the new sister restaurant up and running by March 2027, he’s keeping many of the specifics under wraps for now.

New Orleans concerts on Halloween weekend 2026: Widespread Panic, Quantum Leap Fest and more

Music for Halloween weekend includes two nights of a jam band at the Lakefront Arena and a multinight modern jazz festival. In 1997, Georgia jam band Widespread Panic established a tradition of performing at the Lakefront Arena on what is now the LSU New Orleans campus on Halloween weekend. Over the next six years, Panic built up to playing three consecutive nights at the Lakefront Arena. In the early years of the tradition, fans were allowed to camp on the arena grounds, creating a temporary village reminiscent of the parking lots at Grateful Dead concerts.

These Oysters Wear One of New Orleans’ Richest Toppings

Oysters Rockefeller transforms fresh oysters into a hot, deeply savory appetizer beneath a rich green topping of herbs, butter, and other flavorful ingredients. The oysters remain tender and briny while the topping bakes into a fragrant layer with browned edges. Every shell delivers creamy richness, herbaceous flavor, and ocean salinity in one compact serving. The dish looks sophisticated because the shells provide their own natural presentation, arranged across a tray and baked until bubbling. Created in New Orleans and named for extraordinary richness, Oysters Rockefeller still lives up to that reputation whenever the first shell reaches the table.

4 New Orleans Kitchens Cooking Southern Comfort Food Without Animals

Sweet Soulfood - Broad Street The steam table does the talking […]

One of New Orleans’ best restaurants deserves Michelin recognition. Here’s why I love it.

The menu? Unique. The atmosphere? Spectacular. The service? Fire. The FOOD? Absolutely delicious. I’m talking about Paladar 511, a local hotspot in the Marigny that is one of my favorite restaurants in New Orleans, and I believe it needs more recognition from The Michelin Guide and James Beard Foundation.

The Cocktail Hour Opens in New Orleans, Reinventing the Guest Shift

The guest shift has had the same tired script for years: a celebrated bar packs up its greatest hits, flies across the world, pours them for a night or two, and goes home. It's a nice marketing moment. It is almost never a creative one. The Cocktail Hour wants to...

This Enormous Louisiana Market Spans Six Blocks And Welcomes Shoppers All Year

Six full city blocks. That’s how much ground one Louisiana market covers, and it opens its doors every single day of the year, holidays included. The story behind it reaches back further than the city itself. Native Americans traded goods on this riverside spot long before European settlers arrived. I can’t imagine a better place to shop with that much history under your feet.

This Louisiana Italian Bakery Has Been Filling Handmade Cannoli With Fresh Ricotta For Generations

The cannoli here don’t get filled until you order them. That one rule keeps every homemade shell crisp, and I think it says everything about this place. The filling is a sweet ricotta cream, usually half vanilla and half chocolate. Then the ends get dipped in crushed pistachios. A dusting of powdered sugar and cinnamon finishes the job.
