Slim Goodies Diner asks customers to pay what they can.
In the wake of the tragedy that is Hurricane Isaac, many areas in and around New Orleans, Louisiana, are still without power. That includes restaurants and some markets, leaving area residents with few options. Some stocked up with non-perishable food items before Isaac roared ashore, but eventually, those staples will run out. What to do?
That's where the Slim Goodies Diner comes into play. This New Orleans diner and coffee shop, located in an area of the Garden District known as the Irish Channel, is open for business. They're feeding as many people as they can, and only asking that everyone pay whatever they can afford.
