“Today the French Market has become one of the most popular destinations in the city. Its large variety of food stands, restaurants and outdoor dining spaces draw in hungry visitors for anything from small snacks to large meals and even packaged goods to take home as souvenirs.
One of the most popular destinations is the famous Cafe du Monde. Located just off of Jackson Square, this monumental outdoor cafe serves the iconic beignets and cafe au lait that locals and visitors just can’t resist. And there is always a musician playing the guitar or saxophone nearby. Other iconic New Orleans dishes are available at multiple venues throughout the market, including Po-boys, oysters and exotic beverages (both alcoholic and non).
In 1791, the French Market originated as a Native American trading post along the Mississippi River. From there it continued to evolve into a cultural and commercial hub for New Orleans, as French and Spanish colonists opened the market up to ships and traders from all over the world. Over the next three centuries, immigrants from Europe, Africa and the Caribbean began to open their own venues at this French Quarter market, offering everything from Italian butcheries to African coffee and Choctaw spices.
In the late 19th century, the Market was given its modern day, bizarre-like structure, designed by Joseph Abeilard, one of America’s first African American Architects. With its new permanent home, the French Market continued to grow and add more commercial products, fresh produce and unique commodities that cannot be found anywhere else.”

ABOUT SER ANDY
Hi, I’m Andy. I am a Vietnamese now living in the U.S.. After graduating from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, CA., I decided to make my life-long dream of documenting my food trips and sharing them with you a reality. Making food videos is a part time hustle at the moment but full time obsession for sure. I am new at this. So please free to let me know what you think of the videos. I would love to hear constructive criticism and feedback. I am here for you all. Also feel free to let me know what food you want to see in the future. I will make it happen. I promise you all!
