New Orleans Po-Boy Preservation Festival-New Orleans Po-Boys

The Po-Boy:

In New Orleans the classic sandwich is the Po-Boy. Made with crisp, fresh French Bread and anything you want in the middle. The favorites are fried shrimp, fried oysters, fried catfish, roast beef with lots of gravy, and ham and cheese.

Learn the lingo:

If you want lettuce and tomatoes on your po-boy, asked for it "dressed." If you want extra gravy on your roast beef, ask for a "sloppy." In many parts of New Orleans Mayo is "myneze." Learn more of New Orleans Speak before you go.

Celebrate the Po-Boy at a Unique Festival:

The New Orleans Po-Boy Preservation Festival is held in mid-November every year. It's uptown on Oak Street at South Carrollton.

More Than Food:

Besides Po-Boys from restaurants all over New Orleans, the festival will feature 2 stages with live music, arts & crafts, a silent auction, a children's section with games & prizes, a beer garden with a large screen TV to view the Saints as they play on their game day.
