The city is allowing bars to open with limited capacity and without live music on Saturday. (AP Photo/Kevin McGill)NEW ORLEANS Bar owners in New Orleans prepared for a soft opening, and an uncertain one, as they prepared to let customers in Saturday for the first time in months. Capacity is limited to 25 percent, live music remains prohibited, and nobody knows how many tourists will show on Bourbon Street in the age of COVID-19. Toward that end, there will be no musicians on stage at Fortner's Tropical Isle bars on Bourbon Street. Some New Orleans bar owners are critical of the restrictions.
