Terrytown's planned community just across the river from New Orleans
Just across the Mississippi River from New Orleans, Terrytown holds the distinction as the first planned community on what locals call the West Bank. Terrytown was established in 1960 when a man carved the subdivision out of the forest and named it for his daughter. Terrytown began with only 400 homes in the first phase of construction. Since then, the unincorporated community has grown to more than 6,000 homes and shows no signs of slowing down.
Grocery stores and restaurants with deep local roots
Terrytown features a multitude of bars, restaurants, grocery stores and other essentials. One is Rouse’s Market. The grocery chain began in 1960 and has become the largest independent grocer in Louisiana. The store takes pride in promoting local culinary culture and supports charities in the communities its stores occupy. And FYI: Rouse’s is the Guinness World Record holder of both the largest avocado and the largest citrus fruits displays. For a bite, local favorites include the New Orleans Hamburger and Seafood Co. This business has been around since 1984 and is famous for its thin fried catfish. The casual eatery serves local Gulf seafood and traditional Nola comfort foods. The Terrytown Café is family-owned and began life as a doughnut shop. Over the years, it's become a full-service restaurant and community gathering spot. Joe’s Café has been offering late-night eats since 1988. Joe's makes a fantastic King Cake, and you can find breakfast, lunch or dinner any time of day. At DiMartino’s, food runs in the family. The regional favorite has been serving muffulettas since 1975. Terrytown has surprises wherever you look. One of largest is the neighborhood’s Hong Kong Food Market. This Asian grocery hosts aisles of noodles, live seafood and spices. The store also has a large selection of Asian and tropical produce as well as foods from Central and South America. In fact, the store can be overwhelming at first glance from the sheer variety of goods. A quick trip to the in-store tea bar can help center and refresh shoppers before, during or after gathering their groceries. The market is also known for its banh mi and whole Peking ducks.
