Three Things In New Orleans Not to Miss This Month

  • Rice to Meet You: A Nashville sake producer, Proper Sake Co., has set up shop in Algiers Point, right next to fantastic year-old pizza place Nighthawk Napoletana. Rice Vice is the brand-new sliver of a sake bar from Bryon Stithem, the creator of Proper Sake, in partnership with New Orleans resident Bryson Aust (also a partner in Nighthawk and Barracuda). Opened in June, the compact, wood-clad bar serves the Nashville-brewed sake, shochu, Japanese beers, and sake-based cocktails like a Negroni, martini, and gin rickey riff. Rice Vice takes walk-ins, but to be on the safe side, reserve one of its 18 seats on Resy.
  • Safta, Coming Soon: Alon Shaya, the James Beard Foundation Award-winning chef behind Saba, Miss River, and Chandelier Bar is opening a new restaurant in New Orleans, expected in late 2025. Located at 129 Allen Toussaint Boulevard in Lakeview, it’s an offshoot of Pomegranate Hospitality’s Michelin-recognized Safta in Denver, but a more casual, family-friendly version. Shaya’s famous hummus and pita will be on the menu, along with breakfast items, weekend brunch, and grab-and-go family-style dinners.
