This is New Orleans. It's the City Grocery.

Thanks, it has been a while! Gonna fix that this year! My wife (from Europe) hasn't been there yet in her 11 years here.

Maybe it's just me but I'm not that high on muffaletas. As they go, besides Central Grocery, Napoleon House is also well known for them.
I personally recommend a shrimp, crayfish, catfish, oyster, roast beef or whatever Po-Boys. They are all over. Probably the best is Domilises' due to their unknown special sauce, but not easy to get to and in a questionable area. The place also looks like a dive. It's a very small restaurant and bar in the front. The family lives in the rear.
We do local shops. There are three great ones within 5 minutes of our house. We do Po-boys about once a month. Also, in season, you would need to do boiled crawfish or BBQ shrimp. BBQ shrimp isn't what you think. Pascal Manales is the best BBQ shrimp. From downtown, it's a short street car ride. You should do the street car to somewhere anyway. .
I'm not a resident and know they're probably many dozens of places that top those two. But in well over a year of staying there on business over the years, those were our 2 "go to" spots when we wanted po-boys. Marias was another in the late 80s but I'm betting they're long gone.

"E Burres Stigano?"
I'm no longer familiar with the best shops downtown or in the quarter. I worked downtown for 26 years, but for the past 15 years have worked closer to home.
There is no reason for us to go to the quarter to get a good po-boy. If you ask 10 natives where to get the best po-boy in NO, you are likely to get 10 answers. The reason is that practically every neighborhood has an awesome po-boy shop. Within 5 minutes of my house, we have Short Stop, our current favorite, Parrentons, previous favorite, and Central Sandwich which includes a bar. These are all top notch. Parrentons and Central sandwich are on the same block separated by one building! The way I discovered Central Sandwich was one day Parrentons was closed. It's nuts.
All this talk makes me think it's going to be shrimp and catfish Friday night. It's been at least a month.
