Should New Orleans restaurants just close for the summer — not take a vacation for a week or two, but shutter for the season? It’s a question more restaurant people are having to consider with growing urgency. Many restaurants simply don't see enough business in the summer to cover their costs, and so lose money by staying open.

It’s a good thing New Orleans people are so passionate about our restaurants and the hospitality culture they represent. It's summertime, and that piece of our culture needs us more than ever. Many New Orleans restaurants don’t make money in the summer and bleed cash simply by operating. This spring, the drumbeat of restaurants closing ahead of summer rather than absorb more losses was particularly heartrending. I’m worried more will join them before the fall upswing, and I’m not alone.

Another New Orleans restaurant from a well-known chef is closing its doors, this time in the Bywater. BABs, the second restaurant from chef Nina Compton, will close after service on Saturday (May 31). She and her husband Larry Miller opened the restaurant in 2018 under the name Bywater American Bistro. It took shape inside the Rice Mill Lofts, in the space that was previously Mariza, with an upscale casual vibe and a modern American menu.
