The tavern's building, built sometime before 1772, has been called the oldest continually occupied bar in the U.S. New Orleans and its French Quarter are one of only a few places in the United States where possession and consumption of alcohol in open containers is allowed on the street. The New Orleans French Market is the oldest public market in the country. Founded in 1791, this market, located at 2 French Market Pl., is an open-air mall that today features shopping, dining and music in a tradition that is uniquely New Orleans. Louisiana is the only state in the nation that is divided into parishes, not counties, dating from the earliest boundaries existing Catholic diocese boundaries. Ninety-nine percent of all crawfish produced in the United States comes from Louisiana. The largest municipal park in the country, New Orleans' City Park was also home to the famous Duelling Oaks, where Creole gentlemen frequently met to settle scores with swords, pistols, and sometimes even Bowie knives. New Orleans is the largest port on the Gulf of Mexico, the second largest in the U.S. and the third largest in the world in volume of cargo handled.
