The Ruby Slipper Café To Open Uptown Location Early 2017

NEW ORLEANS – The Ruby Slipper Café will soon open a location Uptown. The Café will start transforming the former Brick & Spoon location at 2802 Magazine St. in early December and open to the public in January 2017, per permit approvals. This will mark The Ruby Slipper Café’s fifth restaurant in New Orleans. The Cafe’s fleet also includes locations in Orange Beach, AL and Pensacola, FL.
         “We are excited that our Ruby Slipper family has the opportunity to expand within our home city of New Orleans,” Jennifer Weishaupt, owner of The Ruby Slipper Café, said. “We’ve had our eye on opening a location Uptown for years and this location off the corner at Washington and Magazine Street seems like the perfect spot. We look forward to sharing our own brand of Southern charm with another New Orleans neighborhood for many years to come.”
         Restaurant reps said patrons can expect the Café’s classic menu featuring its signature twists on old Southern favorites at its new Uptown location in January 2017. The award-winning Shrimp Cortez and visitor favorite, Eggs Cochon, are just a few of the many reasons The Café continues to be included on ‘best of’ lists across the Gulf South, they said.
         “The Café is a destination for locals and tourists alike and we expect that the new spot on Magazine Street will be no exception,” Weishaupt said.
