"June is the last month in business for Bakery Bar, an eight-year-old LGD staple known for desserts, cocktails, and savory bar bites. Charlotte McGehee and Charles Mary IV opened the corner restaurant set in the shadow of the Ponchartrain Expressway in 2016 as a showcase for their successful cake business, Debbie Does Doberge. It’s since evolved from its origins as a dessert and night-cap destination; in recent years it focused on brunch and dinner and introduced a menu incorporating Latin American influences and flavors. In an Instagram post announcing the news, owners said 'it’s the right time' to close and 'the right way to expand Debbie Does Doberge wholesale operations' and focus on Debbie on the Levee in Rivertown. Wednesday, July 1 will be its last day." - Clair Lorell
