Arabesque on Carrollton
Last night I went to preview the new restaurant opening on the Carrollton and Canal corridor – so far we have a lot – Wit’s Inn came back after the storm, better than before. Then the noodle house Doson opened. Then Rooster’s made a try but then soon Metin had the restaurant and opened Hot Burger recently. And now Arabesque on the same block is opening to the public this Thursday. A lovely, intimate restaurant that offers electic tapas – it’s a great addition to the neighborhood. We got there late and the place was packed with other restauranteurs and merchants from the neighborhood there to preview the coming attractions.
Then we headed to Vega on Metairie Road – the other tapas restaurant – for a light meal and a cosmopolitan. The best thing? The saffron gelato – yum yum yum.
