At a grand 171 feet wide, traversed by streetcars, taxis, automobiles, cyclists and pedestrians, Canal Street is more than just a major downtown thoroughfare. Throughout its 210-year history, it also has served as an entertainment district, shopping destination, restaurants, parade route, and above all, a gathering place for New Orleanians. Stand on this broad, bustling street and you can see New Orleans’ history all around you—from the historic French Quarter to the modern Central Business District. The street once served as a “neutral ground” between the old families of Spanish and French descent living in the Vieux Carre and the newly arriving Americans, who preferred to settle the American Sector (today’s Central Business and Warehouse districts.)
