The return of two historic New Orleans restaurants this week accounts for more than 200 combined years of history, while a cornerstone for casual eats in Metairie is making its own comeback.

Napoleon House in the French Quarter (est. 1914) reopens Tuesday and Pascal's Manale Restaurant (est. 1913) reopened Monday, bringing back two legendary names in New Orleans hospitality, now configured for takeout under the current coronavirus restrictions. In Metairie, Caffe Caffe comes back Tuesday, to the cheers of its many regulars.

These mark a wave of notable restaurants to return or announce plans to do so over the past two weeks, another illustration of the constant change and adaptation happening across the hospitality industry now.

With shutdowns now set to continue through mid-May, with some adjustments, many have begun to change tactics and rethink their approach. A growing number of restaurants that had earlier shut down are reopening for takeout. Many operators report they've used the time to reassess and reconfigure.
