15 New Orleans bars and restaurants that have closed this summer
The doldrums of summer came early to New Orleans, bringing with them a rush of bar and restaurant closures. Why it matters: More hospitality owners are pulling the plug early rather than crossing their fingers and hoping to keep paying their bills through the slowest part of the year. The big picture: With few festivals, high temperatures and little tourism, summer has long been New Orleans' slowest season. So, if a restaurant or bar is going to close, it's more likely to come during the warmest months of the year. On the lighter end, summer might mean limited hours or short-term closures. But the coronavirus pandemic cranked that intensity to the max level, with full-blown summer shutdowns picking up pace in recent years. Yes, but: We're not powerless against it. As Ian McNulty outlined for The Times-Picayune, now's the time to show your favorite bars and restaurants that you're there to help them make it through to fall. You can buy gift cards, arrive earlier, and shop smarter when you're opting for take-out by ordering directly from the restaurant rather than paying fees to third-party apps. Closures since March 2025 so far include: Maypop and Mopho, both from chef Michael Gulotta. Maypop in particular had a tough run after a closure prompted by a building collapse across the street last year. Tracey's Irish Channel Bar. Owners said the cancellation of the Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day parade this year was the final straw, WDSU reports. BABs from chef Nina Compton and partner Larry Miller. Justine from Justin and Mia Devillier. Frey Smoked Meat Co., which had been in Mid-City for about a decade. The Franklin, which has already made way for new restaurant Evviva. Zony Mash, the brewery on the edge of Broadmoor. Ugly Dog Saloon, which closed in the CBD. Milan Lounge, a beloved Uptown dive bar. Medium Rare, which was only open for about a year, Eater reports. Tonti's Bistro in Algiers Point. Brocato's Kitchen in Mid-City, though The Times-Picayune reports it may reopen elsewhere. Trilly's Cheesesteak, which cited rising costs as a major factor.

'I need a break': Country star taking time to ‘figure out what's next'
Kelsea Ballerini is manifesting a chill summer. After wrapping up her first arena tour and finishing her first season as a judge on 'The Voice,' the country music star wants to take some time to relax and regroup. 'I need a break, and I've never been able to say that before, but I really think that it's time for me to just pump the brakes, figure out what's next, take the time to just have a summer,' Ballerini said during her recent interview on 'Today with Jenna and Friends.' 'Every time I say I have time off, something happens,' the platinum-selling singer joked. 'But I'm very open to whatever is out there.' Ballerini hopes her summer itinerary includes going to the beach, learning to cook a new meal and spending time with her dogs, Dibs and Milo. Aside from a performance this Friday at the CMA Fest, Ballerini doesn't appear to have any upcoming performances or appearances scheduled, according to her website. This year has been a particularly eventful year for the 'Peter Pan' singer. Her tour, which ran from January to April, supported her fifth studio album, 'Patterns,' which she released in October. In March, Ballerini released a deluxe edition of 'Patterns,' which featured five additional songs. She also signed on for her first season as a judge on 'The Voice,' which wrapped last month. During her 'Today' appearance, she explained that it was a completely different experience than what she was used to. 'It's been such a beautiful season of doing things that are out of my comfort zone and bigger than I've ever done, and it's been really fulfilling. I love being in that seat,' she said. As for whether she'd ever return to 'The Voice,' Ballerini said, 'Never say never. I think it's all about timing.'

10 summer shoe and bermuda shorts outfit formulas that will up your workwear *and* weekend wardrobe
Move over micro shorts! After last summer saw teeny tiny hemlines reign supreme, in 2025 it's all about more is more – fabric that is. Yep, the hottest shorts style this season is easily distinguishable by its long-line silhouette, falling at least to the top of your knee if not longer. We're of course talking about Bermuda shorts. The name is widely believed to have come from the island of Bermuda, with people hemming their trousers to the knee to be comfortable in the summer heat. The theory tracks as the British Army was stationed on the island during World War I and adopted the shorts into their official uniform for desert and tropical climates. Nowadays, they are the perfect summer workwear staple, but will work just as well in your off-duty wardrobe too. While there are plenty of denim shorts in this length (commonly referred to as jorts, FYI), it's cotton and linen tailored iterations that seem to be trending in particular amongst the style set. Meaning there's plenty of fashion inspo for how to wear the shorts IRL. Safe to say we'll be recreating all of the below Bermuda shorts outfits to stay cool this summer. Two big trends we're loving this summer are waistcoats and heeled flip flops, so why not wear them both together in one outfit with your Bermuda shorts? The waistcoat doesn't have to match, but there's no harm in opting for a co-ord. Let your shorts take centre stage and pair with a plain white t-shirt. Your spotless top combined with the signature tailoring of your Bermudas will feel polished, with minimal mesh ballet flats the perfect finishing touch. Up your summer workwear game with a pair of Bermuda shorts, ideal attire to counteract those hot summer days and your sweaty commute in. Look for a statement top that features a Peter Pan collar or puff sleeves to keep your outfit feeling smart. Ultimately, the success of this look comes down to the details: top tucked in, shorts belted and pointed-toe slingback kitten heels that scream 'I mean business.' If you've been wondering what to wear to Glastonbury or any other of this summer's festivals, look no further – we've found the perfect festival 'fit! Whether you opt for a baby tee or a lace camisole top, low-rise Bermuda shorts and cowboy boots are non-negotiables for this outfit formula. To tap into the boho trend, add a Y2K statement belt, too. A denim jacket is the only outerwear we reach for in the summer months, injecting any outfit with a cool, laid-back vibe. To balance the structured, masculine silhouettes of your outfit, style with pretty ballet flats and a beaded necklace. We love a shorts suit as a summer take on formal wear. Layer a lace-trimmed camisole underneath, should you get warm and need to shed your blazer. Accessorise with a necklace, clutch bag and heeled sandals and – depending on the colour of your Bermuda shorts suit – this look works just as well for a summer wedding guest 'fit as an alternative to a dress. For the perfect office to evening drinks look, or if your work has a slightly more relaxed dress code, you can't go wrong with a button down shirt, *crucially* worn untucked to stop it feeling too preppy. Finish this 'fit with loagers, socks optional. There are so many runway-approved spring jacket trends you could choose from, but our favourite is cropped jackets. We'll be wearing with white Bermuda shorts and classy kitten heels for an elevated ensemble that works just as well for work as it does brunch with the girls. Want to make your Bermudas work at the weekend? From running errands to a barbecue with friends, a graphic print t-shirt and flat shoes easily dress down your knee-length shorts. When there's a risk of showers, styling your trench coat with Bermuda shorts will keep you feeling summery. But if the thermostat does dip below 15 degrees, knee-high boots will stop you freezing to death from the shins down. Follow Alex on Instagram.
