Dr. Bob’s Erster Po-Boy
Dr. Bob’s streetcar is likely to make you hungry, if not for more streetcar art, then at least for a New Orleans’ famous oyster po-boy. The law firm of Jones Walker sponsor’s Dr. Bob’s “Erster Po-Boy.” This delectable streetcar is the first of three streetcars located at Place St. Charles, 201 St. Charles Avenue. This one is inside, located in the atrium near the St. Charles Avenue entrance.

Okay…this has to be the coolest one so far!!
OH OH I saw another one this morning, it was along St. Charles, looked to be inside a gate of a house (could be a business) about 3 or 4 blocks from Jackson. I was on the streetcar and caught it as we went past. Have you gotten that one yet?
[...] doesn’t serve fried seafood po-boys. Say what? That’s right, no shrimp, no “erster,” no catfish po-boys. They specialize in “pressed po-boys,” of which all I can [...]
Will someone please tell me “erster” translates to in english, please??????
What does “erster” mean? It must be German(?). What is the english translation?… ‘oyster’ sandwich?
JJ, “erster” is a word of the Yat dialect:
Erster (n): A bivalve mollusk, also a New Orleans delicacy often eaten raw, fried, broiled, baked or po’boy-ed, but never, never berled in earl.
Please see the Southern Yat Hysterical Society’s Yatbonics page for more information.
There is also a fairly accurate Wiki.
