Cordelia’s Market made a post clarifying what is happening with its cafe, which will no longer offer its made-to-order menu. All your favorite foods will still be available in the hot box and grab & go. They’re adding sushi, made fresh daily, from Ace Sushi. They’ll also offer a larger selection of made-from-scratch entrees, salads, and desserts.
South Point Grocery on Webster Avenue now carries a selection of over 200 wines. They’re working on the proper permits – but don’t have them yet – for you to be able to drink the wine you purchase on their front porch.
Crawfish is back at Max’s Sports Bar today. The first batch comes off at noon. Get 1 pound for $12.50, 2 pounds for $21. A pound of hot boiled shrimp is $16. Corn, taters, and sausage are included in the price but not the weight.
Flying Fish’s crawfish are not as tasty as Max’s, but you can get them any day of the week and they posted a great deal yesterday: 4 pounds for $25. At some other Downtown restaurants, you get only 1 pound for $25.
