One word - muffulettas. The smells of the special olive dressing and garlic inside this wonderful Italian deli are enough to give you an appetite. If you are going to have a muffuletta - then this is the ONLY place to get one. And it's cheap! Muffaletta. When we go - we have to get a bunch for our friends and put them in a cooler. No joke. You can't eat an entire sandwich - split one with a friend.

Incredible muffalata. I've had that sandwich recommended to me for ages, but this one made the recommendations all worthwhile. Spectacular.

Central Grocery and it's world famous muffalatta. You can't go wrong with this place. Its an old time deli/market that has been around forever. For those who went back in the 60s, they will be more then happy to see NOTHING has changed. It's like stepping into a time machine. Italian food, like an Italian family only knows how to do it.

The aroma alone sold me. . great muffalatta (the best according to PBS) and efficient service (not to mention the only reasonably priced food we found in the French Quarter)!

I went to Tulane in the 60's, and a Muffalattah and a cold Dixie or Jax at the Central were a real treat. I went back Christmas week of '03, and I'm happy to say that nothing has changed. Next to Johnny's for Po-Boys, this place is the best!

Carry out a muffaletta. It is enough for two. Bring your own knife and cut it in half. Wow! You will enjoy this flavor for hours and hours. Order some breath mints while you are in the store.

Depending on who you believe, the famous New Orleans sandwich staple was created at either the Central Grocery or Progress Grocery. Whoever was first, just be thankful someone invented it and order yourself a muffaletta from Central Grocery. The true muffaletta is made with genoa salami, mortadella, and ham, layered with provolone cheese on a round loaf of bread cut in half, and smothered with a relish of diced olives in olive oil. If you don't like olives, you might not like this, but you probably will anyway. You can also buy jars of their muffaletta relish to take home with you, which you should because it's an easy sandwich to make which easily feeds 2 to 4 people.

Two places I never miss in NOLA, Cafe du monde and Central grocery. This is a tradition. Walk up to the counter and order a Whole and a Barq's. You can't go wrong.
