A sight we’ve certainly missed in the French Quarter over the last several months has been the bustle of the French Market throughout the week! The French Market has been a staple in the New Orleans community since 1791, when it originated as a Native American trading post.

Mrs. Chase excelled not only as a culinary mastermind, but also as a community leader and civil rights advocate. She allowed Dooky Chase’s to serve as a meeting place for civil rights leaders and made the restaurant one of the first galleries for African American artists in NOLA

Still at home? I think we all wish our bathroom looked like Jazz icon Louis Armstrong’s! Here he is pictured in 1971 with his hand-carved onyx washbasin and gold plated fixtures in his Corona, Queens, New York home. 📷: Time Magazine | Louisiana State Museum Jazz Collection
