Metairie is home to Lakeside Shopping Center, the highest-grossing mall in the New Orleans metropolitan area. This is largely due to its excellent location—it’s only 10 minutes from the Louis Armstrong Airport and 15 minutes from the French Quarter. The 60-year old mall boasts some 130 stores and dining establishments, and hosts many family-friendly events in its premises. It’s especially popular among foreign tourists because it’s a tax-free shopping destination.

Residents of Metairie love seafood, and one of its most popular incarnations is the seafood muffaletta. A signature dish of Parran’s Po-Boys & Restaurant, it’s essentially a fried shrimp, oyster, and catfish po-boy served on half a wheel of muffaletta loaf. And yes, you’ll probably need to split this hulk of a sandwich with a friend.
