Jack & Jake’s has programmed the space located inside the former Myrtle Banks Elementary School building (1307 O.C. Haley Blvd) as a unique food market that builds upon New Orleans’ historic tradition of public markets and introduces affordable, fresh food to an underserved population and food desert in Central City. The market emphasizes fresh heirloom vegetables and other local produce, heritage breed meats, cheese, and fresh Gulf seafood. Healthy prepared foods based on New Orleans culture and cuisine are also a focal point where many ingredients are made from scratch inside the market. The market’s diverse local product offerings, in partnership with established vendors, will create a major food destination for local residents and visitors to New Orleans.
