New Orleans Streetcar Food List: Build and Share One

A New Orleans streetcar food list keeps your meals in the order of the line you ride: the St. Charles line for Uptown lunches, the Canal line for Mid-City, the Riverfront line for beignets and muffulettas, and the Rampart-St. Claude line for Treme and the Marigny. Make one list per line, add a note per stop and share it with friends.

What is a New Orleans streetcar food list?

It is a Mosey list organized by route. New Orleans has four streetcar lines, and the tourism board's streetcar itinerary pairs each with places to eat. A list built on those lines turns a vague plan to eat out into a short route you can follow without a car.

The St. Charles line (the 12) runs from Uptown to the Central Business District. The Canal line runs from Mid-City to downtown, with one branch to City Park and the museums and another to the cemeteries. The Riverfront line runs a few blocks between the Aquarium and the French Market. The Rampart-St. Claude line runs through Treme into the Marigny and Bywater.

What are good St. Charles streetcar lunch stops?

The St. Charles line has the most lunch stops, and it is the oldest of the four. Camellia Grill, at 626 South Carrollton Avenue, is the one both the tourism board and Where Y'at name: a classic diner known for omelets, burgers and milkshakes called freezes, and the tourism board's itinerary lists it at the Maple Street stop. Allow time, because the counter has 29 stools and no reservations, according to its entry on Wikipedia.

Add a note to the stop, such as "get off at Carrollton, order the omelet" and rate the dish after you eat. Do the same for the other stops on the line, and the list soon reads like a route. Keep the notes practical: which stop to leave the car at, what to order and how long you waited. A route list is most useful to a friend who has never ridden the line, so write for that person, and add a section for each line so the list stays easy to scan on a phone.

What are Canal Street streetcar restaurants worth adding?

The Canal line goes from Mid-City to downtown, so it suits a full day. The tourism board's itinerary lists a cluster of stops around Canal Street and Scott Street, and a few French Quarter places a short walk from the line. We name none of them here because the itinerary was the only source we could read, but you can add any you visit, rate the dish and put a line of notes on it.

If you ride this line to City Park, add a picnic or a coffee stop. A list with one lunch and one sweet stop per line is enough for a day, and a full day on a streetcar pass is a pleasant way to see how different the neighborhoods are from one another.

Where is Riverfront streetcar food?

The Riverfront line is short and tourist-friendly, running along the Mississippi between the Aquarium and the French Market. Café du Monde, at 800 Decatur Street, is the stop most people mean: coffee with chicory and beignets. The tourism board's itinerary lists it at Dumaine Station, next to an old Italian grocery known for the muffuletta.

Our beignets guide explains how to order, and the French Market guide covers the walk. Put each on the list with a note about the line you rode.

Where does the Rampart-St. Claude line stop for food?

The Rampart-St. Claude line runs through Treme and into the Marigny and Bywater. A praline shop a block off the route near Frenchmen Street, per the tourism board's itinerary, is known for pralines and a lump crab beignet. Add a sweet stop like that and tag it by the dish.

How do you share a food list with friends?

Open the Mosey app, make a list and name it, for example St. Charles line lunches. Add places by searching for them, write a short note on why each belongs and choose who sees the list: public, or private for the people you invite. "Share an invite link" lets someone join as a collaborator even if they are not on Mosey yet, and "Invite people" works for people you follow who follow you back. A list can have sections, so one list can hold the four lines.

A friend can then add the lunch they had, and you can see who rated what. The lists page explains each step, and the ratings page shows how to rate each dish on the list. Use "Who were you with?" to tag the person you rode with. Tags record what a visit was like, a quick lunch or a long dinner, so the people you follow can find the same kind of meal later, and a group can compare ratings by the dish before anyone leaves the house.

Where next in the city?

For the Uptown end of the St. Charles line, the Carrollton and Riverbend guide covers the streets around the Riverbend, and the Warehouse District guide covers the downtown end. The New Orleans hub lists every page for the city, and the US food guides cover other towns.

Get the Mosey app, build one list per streetcar line and share it with the friend you ride with.
