Picayune Social House Closed in New Orleans’ CBD - Eater New Orleans

"Picayune Social House has closed its doors after just over a year in a spot one time known as Newspaper Row, housing the Daily Picayune and eventually the Times Picayune. The decor included old newspapers displayed on the walls, but the menu ran a little wilder. A tandoor oven allowed the restaurant to bang out naan, which was used as the foundation for flatbreads and as a vehicle for hummus, whiskey chicken, beef tenderloin, and falafel. The restaurant also used the oven for rosemary and thyme chicken breast, lemon grass char siu pork, beef tenderloin, tamarind and chipotle lamb, and kho khe shrimp. A ragtag team of boudin balls, salads, and ceviche rounded out the menu. The restaurant’s strong point though was the bar, which served a popular candied old fashioned." - Stephanie Carter
