Bourbon Street's Deja Vu club is the first strip club to reopen for business in New Orleans' famed French Quarter, following the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina three weeks ago.

A handful of restaurants and bars in the Quarter have reopened recently, serving food and drinks - usually free of charge - to rescue workers and military who stream through the mostly empty streets.

The Deja Vu is waiving its cover charge. Drinks are selling for $3 and a private dance is available for just $1.

Says Deja Vu manager Brent Ardeneaux, "It's a disaster zone. You got a lot of people in from out of town that need entertaining."
