If New Orleans was not specifically pining for a modern coastal Italian dining experience in a refurbished industrial space at the border of the Marigny and Bywater, well, you wouldn't know it by the scene at Mariza on any given night.
It’s a party 9th Ward style, beginning with a parade in one of the city’s most creative areas. We go Inside the Arts, as Bywater residents welcome new housing for artists with a grand celebration.
New restaurants and cafes are opening at a furious pace throughout the Bywater, as if the long-time complaint that the neighborhood needed more food options finally fell on all the right ears all at once. One apt example is the new restaurant called Maurepas Foods.
