NEW ORLEANS It looks as though a French Quarter staple is facing an uncertain future.
Matassa‘s Market on the corner of St. Philip and Dauphine Street is closing after nearly 100 years in business, according to The Times Picayune/New Orleans Advocate.
The paper reports the downturn in business during the pandemic was the “last straw” for the grocery store and the shop will be shutting its doors Thursday.
