Not on the Tour Map: What Makes Little People’s Place a NOLA Treasure

In a city known for its polished dining and tourist-famous spots, Little People’s Place stands untouched by trend. Tucked in the heart of the Tremé, this neighborhood bar serves more than food— it dishes out memory, community, and soul. If you’re looking for the kind of New Orleans experience you won’t find in a brochure, you just found it.

Food That Feeds More Than Hunger

At Little People’s Place, the fried chicken is everything it should be- crispy, seasoned just right, and tender as a memory. It comes paired with tangy potato salad laced with dill pickle relish and yellow mustard, and sweet, plump peas that taste like they were picked just for you. It’s comfort food turned cultural experience. The kind of plate that tells you exactly where you are without saying a word.

Where Time Is Told in Laughter and Music

Behind the bar, there’s a clock- but time here isn’t measured in minutes. It’s kept by the sounds of crooners like Mel Waiters echoing from the jukebox, the laughter of locals swapping stories, and the quiet toast of beer bottles lifted in celebration or remembrance. The walls are lined with photos—some faded, some recent—all part of the living memory of the place.

Little People’s isn’t just a bar. It’s a space where community lives, where flavor meets feeling, and where a plate of food connects you to something bigger than yourself.
