Wags on the Levee readies for move to Mid City

Wags on the Levee, a downtown soul food restaurant, is preparing to move to Mid City. The restaurant has filed paperwork to move into a space at the corner of Government Street and Eddie Robinson Sr. Drive. Colleen Collins, who co-owns Wags, says the move should be completed by Feb. 1 and the menu will remain the same. The restaurant is moving into a Government Street building that had been occupied by a catering company, so there won’t be much of a facility transition. The Third Street building that Wags has occupied is under contract to be sold. The transaction should take place in early March, says Hermann “Buck” Moyse III, secretary/treasurer and part-owner of Baton Rouge Realty, which owns the Wags building and two other spaces next door that are also on the market. —Timothy Boone
