Central Grocery, known for its iconic muffuletta sandwich, is set to reopen on Dec. 14 after being closed for over three years due to Hurricane Ida. The New Orleans market and deli, located in the French Quarter on Decatur Street, will resume its regular hours and offer its famous sandwich along with Italian food products and specialty items. The reconstruction process was challenging due to the extensive damage caused by the hurricane, which required a complete rebuild of the location. Despite the setbacks, the Tusa family chose to honor the store’s legacy and restore it to its original charm rather than modernize it. The reopening of Central Grocery will be a significant event for locals and tourists alike, marking the return of a beloved icon in New Orleans. Make sure to visit this historic location to enjoy their famous muffuletta and experience a piece of New Orleans’ culinary history.
