Central City, located between the Central Business District and Uptown, is a historic and residential New Orleans neighborhood with a streetcar-lined corridor and a deep musical legacy. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, where galleries, corner bars, and small restaurants set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Ashe Cultural Arts Center anchors local performance and visual arts. The Southern Food & Beverage Museum adds a culinary lens to the area’s story. Shotgun houses and Creole cottages sit beside brick institutional buildings and newer infill. Broad avenues and pocket parks shape a walkable grid that links to downtown and the riverfront.
