Surfer eatery to open on Third

Lucy’s Retired Surfer Bar and Restaurant, a New Orleans Warehouse district eatery, plans to open in September on Third Street inside the former D’Agostino’s, according to owner Bruce Rampick. Lucy’s specializes in California surf shack dishes such as fish tacos, sandwiches and salads. “We’ve been working on a project in Baton Rouge since last summer,” says Rampick, who opened the first Lucy’s in Manhattan in 1985, before escalating rents forced him to New Orleans 15 years ago. Plans are to open Lucy’s for lunch and dinner, with a staff of about 45. “We think there’s a lot of potential in that Third Street area,” says Rampick.—Timothy Boone
