Hotel concerns: A Metairie company wants to build a big apartment complex on Elysian Fields in the Marigny, and Stephanie Riegel reports neighbors are concerned. The area has seen a couple other hotels open in recent years, possibly with more on the way. Water, from the sky: Rain's been pretty rare these days. But, Kasey Bubnash reports, we might be in for some wet weather over the next few days. Reopening Uptown: Gautreau’s, the popular Uptown restaurant, reopened this month with a new chef and under new ownership. Our Ian McNulty dined there and tells us, well, read his story...

Jon Batiste is up for Album of the Year, and PJ Morton, New Breed Brass Band, The Rumble and The Lost Bayou Ramblers also got nods, our friends at Gambit report. Thanks for reading Lunch Line.
