Read Boulevard East blends midcentury growth with green space
Part of New Orleans East, Read Boulevard East is one of the newest sections of the city. Much of the East was unable to be developed before the 1950s and 1960s because it was marshy grasslands and cypress swamps. After draining, houses began to pop up along the high ground of Chef Menteur Ridge, and as more land was reclaimed, the Read Boulevard area became increasingly popular. Today, the community is near major roadways, nature areas and boutique bakeries.
Read Boulevard divides the area into Read Boulevard East and Read Boulevard West.
Morning walks are common on the clean streets of Read Boulevard East.

Dong Phuong Bakery began in the early 1980s out of the owner’s home. The business grew to become one of the first Vietnamese restaurants in the Greater New Orleans area. The bakery was quickly rebuilt and expanded after it was destroyed during Hurricane Katrina, and it began delivering and selling to local restaurants and grocery stores. Now, the family-owned bakery supplies over 100 eateries with bread each day. It gained national recognition with a James Beard Foundation American Classic award in 2018.

New Orleans can experience winter, spring, fall, and summer all in one week. It's just confusing because you can have shorts and a shirt on today and have two jackets on the next day.
