Backstreet Cultural Museum
1116 Henriette Delille St, Treme, New Orleans, 70116, United States
The Backstreet Cultural Museum is a small, essential museum in Tremé that preserves the traditions that make New Orleans' Black culture unlike anywhere else in America — Mardi Gras Indian suits, second-line parades, jazz funerals, and the Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs that have been the organisational backbone of the Black community since the 19th century.
Willie Mae's Scotch House
2401 Saint Ann St, Treme, New Orleans, 70119, United States
Willie Mae's Scotch House serves what the James Beard Foundation has called 'America's best fried chicken' — a distinction earned by Willie Mae Seaton, who opened the restaurant in 1957 in a small house in Tremé and spent the next five decades perfecting a recipe that involves a wet batter, a hot skillet, and a level of patience that fast-food chains can't replicate.
