Two Sisters Restaurant, New Orleans, LA. Two Sisters got its start back in the 1970s on a side street near Canal Street and North Claiborne Avenue. It drew a clientele that ranged from bus drivers to NOPD brass. This first location (which has since closed) is where the pattern of today’s menu of daily specials and everyday staples was set. Two Sisters Restaurant was originally opened by Odell Lewis at 223 North Derbigny Street. The business was purchased in 1972 by Dorothy Finister. The two offshoots in New Orleans East and the Westbank are owned and operated by Mrs. Finister’s daughters. [NOLA.com / Scrumptiouschef.com]
