The po’boy. This sandwich has become one of New Orleans’ culinary cornerstones, and part of what makes it so special is its versatility. There are countless variations: oyster, shrimp, roast beef… the list goes on and on. Everyone has their go-to spot to grab one of these legendary creations, but Parkway Tavern and po’boys go together like red beans and rice.

Parkway Tavern has been feeding locals since 1911.

They began serving po’boys in 1929 to feed the workers at the American Can Company. They quickly became known for these iconic sandwiches, and people from all over town would come to eat here.
Parkway serves on average 1,000 people per day, and once you try one of their delicious po’boys, you’ll understand why there’s always a line here.
