Every city has a history. In it’s streets, in it’s people, and in the structures they inhabit. While in New Orleans, the establishment that came up first and foremost when discussing where to eat was Mother’s Next Door. Founded in 1938 by Simon Landry and his wife, Mary Landry, the cafeteria styled eatery enjoyed a long and lucrative career catering to laborers on the wharf. Today, its rustic, brick façade is a welcomed sight to out-of-towners and residents alike.
