Latest Restaurant Closings in New Orleans, March 2025 | Eater New Orleans

"A bean-centric concept located in Beanlandia at the Krewe of Red Beans museum and community center in Bywater, this project featured chef Maya Mastersson’s inspired menu that transformed the humble legume into the cornerstone of a globally informed culinary program. The Krewe and nonprofit’s founder Devin DeWulf said the restaurant as first imagined wasn’t sustainable and that, “A normal restaurant model isn’t right for the space.” The idea is back at the drawing board, and Mastersson is continuing to offer immersive culinary experiences under her Black Roux Culinary Collective brand." - Beth D’Addono

Mardi Gras Krewe Wins Approval for Bywater Base Amid Neighborhood Pushback | Eater New Orleans

"I learned the New Orleans City Council unanimously approved plans to convert 3300 Royal Street — a former furniture store the Krewe of Red Beans bought in 2021, next to Pizza Delicious and Bratz Y’all — into Beanlandia, a 25,000-square-foot headquarters and cultural facility. The approved zoning changes permit a “Cultural Facility with Standard Restaurant” and add live music as a secondary use, allowing a restaurant and bar with live music five days a week (performances no later than 9 p.m.), a proposed second-floor restaurant/bar, classrooms and costume exhibits, youth programming for afternoons, weekends and summers, a Saturday vendors market, and emergency supply-hub use; the krewe also seeks a 95-car parking waiver. Organizers pitch Beanlandia as a kid-friendly, community-focused space that uses sustainable tourism revenue to fund programming and builds on their Feed the Second Line and “Get Lit Stay Lit” initiatives. Neighbors object, citing concerns about alcohol near a playground, nightly crowds, live entertainment, parking, and cultural appropriation; the krewe withdrew its request for bar zoning but the restaurant will still be allowed to have a bar. The krewe hopes to partially open next year and complete renovations over five years." - Clair Lorell

Happened to stop by Mickey Mackey Playground and went in because we saw they sold Popsicles in the front. This is truly a hidden gem and would recommend that anyone stop by and join the club! Fascinating history of the Red Bean Krewe and how they became a non-profit that serves the local community!

Wow. Mind blown. What an unexpected, serendipitous, delightful surprise. Urged on by the teasing handpainted signs in the neighborhood near Elizabeth’s cafe, we wandered to this gem. Will you learn about beans? A bit. Will you learn about the power of a small group of people (ala M. Mead), fueled by silliness and friendship, to have an impact on the community and the world? Oh yes. Devon and his crewe rock!! Their “take” could only happen in NOLA but the spirit of what they are doing should happen everywhere. Please make time for this in your trip to New Orleans.

Red beans is a very unique krewe among New Orleans expressionists. They are local to Bywater and it feels that way inside. Yes the pop cycles are good . And.. making art for Mardi Gras out different kinds of beans is so cool uncomplicated and fun.. feels like a chance to explore making art with legumes.

Came upon the Bean Museum walking around the lovely Bywater neighborhood. Beanlandia is home base for the Krewe of Red Beans. What a great find!! Lovely Katherine greeted us kindly and promised us our money back if we didn't think the tour was worthwhile....needless to say, it was VERY worthwhile! Like other Social Aid & Pleasure clubs, the Krewe of Red Beans holds an annual parade - not on Mardi Gras....but on Lundi Gras. That is not the only way they differ. They have given amazing support to the community and now have this wonderful warehouse, which they have transformed into "beanlandia", a culture hub and community space. So....grap a popsicle and take a look around. It is fascinating, super creative, and your donation will go to a good cause.

This place rules. Incredibly welcoming, Devin gave us a private tour even when the museum was closed! Popsicles are also fantastic. Worth the visit
