At Central Grocery, the birthplace of the legendary muffuletta, you’ll find a charming, old-world market that’s all about stacking cured meats, cheeses, and a zingy olive salad between pillowy Sicilian bread—it's a must-try in the heart of the French Quarter.
"The po’boy might be the most famous sandwich in New Orleans, but the muffuletta—a giant Italian sandwich that can easily feed four people—is a close second. You can find it across the city, but it was invented at Central Grocery, and that’s where you should eat one. This Italian specialty shop looks like it’s from another century, which makes sense since it opened in 1906. There’s always a lunch crowd, but it moves quick—they churn out the muffulettas super fast. They’re currently under construction, but you can still get their muffulettas next door at Sidney’s Wine Cellar, and other spots around town. They also ship nationwide." - zella palmer, carlo mantuano, megan braden perry
