Local neighborhood joint near the Fairgrounds. The gumbo and bbq shrimp poboy come highly recommended. Liuzza’s is the natural place for Mid-City locals and horserace enthusiasts to congregate. Patrons slap one another on the back in welcome, laughter rolls off the walls, and visitors from other neighborhoods and other states watch the characters, listen to their stories and enjoy the great food that Billy cooks.
