Johnny White's is a Bourbon Street bar that never closes. Not during the raging wind and rain of Hurricane Katrina. Not during the looting.
Or the curfews. Or those long, lonely weeks when New Orleans stagnated under floodwaters that covered 80 percent of the city and officials tried to force the last of its residents to evacuate.
 
Yup. A bar was open as soon as the cops would let 'em come back. Their supplies are in sealed glass for the most part and a generator can suffice for the rest of their needs... except for the tight constriants on gasoline for it.

I just wonder if they were serving sandwiches and whatnot.
