December 22, 2023
NOLA.com | The Times Picayune reported on HNOC’s recent purchase of the former site of K-Paul’s Restaurant on Chartres Street in the French Quarter. Read about HNOC’s intentions for the space below.
“The Historic New Orleans Collection has purchased the original K-Paul’s Louisiana Kitchen building at 416 Chartres Street in the French Quarter for $5 million, further expanding its campus of museums, exhibition space, and research facilities in the heart of the Vieux Carre. It's the second time in less than two years that the iconic building, from which the late Chef Paul Prudhomme launched a nationwide Cajun cooking craze in the 1980s, has changed hands.”
