NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Adding to the list of shuttered New Orleans bars during an otherwise busy Mardi Gras season: the G7 event hall on Downman road, and both the Si’nai Gourmet Restaurant and the Fifth Quarter Sports Lounge on Haynes Boulevard.
“We’re talking about five days of tougher restrictions to prevent five months’ potential surges spikes and shutdowns,” said Peter Bowen, the city’s deputy chief administrative officer.
