One of the Last Frostops is Getting a Less Charming New Home - Wait, Not So Fast

Tulane will demolish one of the few remaining Frostops to make way for additional housing. Ted's Frostop will have a space inside.

The development will also include a new home for the iconic Ted’s Frostop diner, currently located at the corner of Claiborne Avenue and Calhoun Street. The project, which will be bordered by S. Claiborne Avenue, S. Miro Street and Calhoun Street, will provide an updated long-term home for Ted’s Frostop within the new building, which will also incorporate both the existing Ted’s Frostop sign and the beloved “Frostop Mug.” Lot-o-Burgers and other menu offerings will be served as always.

I think there's only 3 left - this one, Destrehan and LaPlace. The one on Clearview in Metairie closed last year.
They once had about a hundred or more.

They have one in Baton Rouge. They have one in Picayune too, but it does have a cool Frostop sign or mug

I used to live off Calhoun just a block or two from there. There are a couple of great places to eat in that area. Those Felipes margaritas were tasty.

A city's staff of architects and historic building experts has recommended regulators reject a request to demolish Ted’s Frostop in order to replace it with student housing for nearby Tulane University — a development that could complicate the project.
In a report issued Thursday, staff of the Historic District Landmarks Commission said the 71-year-old diner should not be demolished, despite the building’s lack of landmark status, because it meets the “architectural distinctiveness and cultural significance” requirements for the designation.
“Its longstanding operation at this location since 1955, combined with its iconic signage and strong community associations, has established the site as a local landmark within the public realm,” the staff report said.

They have one in Baton Rouge.
Sometime I just want a hamburger. Choices #1 and #2 have proven to be borderline inedible. My fond memories of #3 come from 50+ years of living in BTR. If I trek down there nowadays, how bad is modern FT going to be?

About the best review I can give them is that it’s just “fine.” Not good, not bad.
Almost the same distance from you would be Downtown Seafood on Third and North. They have a really good burger.
