Cure Co-Founder Turning Freret Service Station into New Restaurant | Eater New Orleans

"A former service station at the corner of Freret and Valence Streets that sat empty for the past four years is currently undergoing construction to be turned into a restaurant; the transformation is being overseen by Matt Kohnke, the founding partner and designer behind Freret Street cocktail destination Cure, and his design firm MNK Design/Build. Work has been underway for a few months, and a recent renovation permit shows a proposed floor plan with a 3,000-square-foot indoor area set in from the street using the existing structure plus a large outdoor dining space of more than 1,000 square feet just off the sidewalk on Freret Street. Plans for the restaurant beyond the architecture are still in the works." - Clair Lorell
