Po Boy Fest 2014
I just went to one of my favorite events...PO-BOY FEST! The po-boy festival takes place every year right before Thanksgiving on Oak Street (about a fifteen minute walk off campus), and is one of the most popular festivals of the year for Tulane students. Po-boys, sandwiches made with French bread, are a staple of New Orleans cuisine. Po-boy fest brings over fifty different restaurants, bars, bookstores, live music, and food trucks together for one big party in the streets! Some of my favorite food options this year include grilled corn with a chili-rosemary butter dressing, a salted chocolate caramel po-boy from The Sammich, and the fried lobster po-boy from GW Fins.

My two favorite things about po-boy fest (besides the food, of course) are the prices and diverse options! In the mood for pizza? Try the Pizza po-boy from The Harbor. Ready for some Thanksgiving food with a Nola twist? Try the Turkey rib po-boy covered in cranberry barbecue sauce, topped with creole coleslaw. How about some sushi? Ninja sushi offers a variety of sushi po-boys including salmon sashimi and fried catfish.
Poboy fest is a beloved tradition for all Tulane students and each year the food just gets better and better! I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves…
