"A collaboration between Coquette, Lucy Boone Ice Cream, and Patron Saint has opened as a pop-up called Here Today at 1245 Thalia Street (the article also references 1245 Constance Street), blending an ice cream shop, wine shop, and a restaurant serving Coquette’s fried chicken sandwiches under one roof. I visited during its first weekend after debuting Friday, March 5, and the kitchen—run by Coquette—has served boiled shrimp with chili peanut crisp and cilantro sauce, a fried fish sandwich, and fried chicken sandwiches. Lucy Boone Ice Cream sells scoops and pints of 12 different flavors, Patron Saint offers 150 wines by the bottle and three by the glass (which can be paired with the food), there’s a good amount of outdoor seating, and food is available for takeout with online ordering coming soon. Here Today is open Friday through Sunday from noon to 8 p.m." - Clair Lorell
