History has it that a local shop owner who was formerly a streetcar driver began feeding the striking the workers for free. When a hungry worker would come in off of the picket line the call would go out: "here comes another poor boy!" From those humble beginnings spring the many varieties of the po-boy sandwich; a New Orleans original of which there is no sub-stitute! The Po-Boy Preservation Festival will also highlight the ongoing revitalization of the Oak Street corridor.
