We would go to the one at the Plaza in New Orleans East. Didn’t make an Easter trip though.

or Wise for us. Mostly A&G, wasn't there a Morrison's off of West End? I barely knew LV, had no clue of Metry or NOE at the time. Uptown only.

Never on a holiday, but went a few times as a kid. I think it was on Veterans Blvd. Hamburger steak + mashed potatoes or fried fish + fries. I could never finish the food I chose, but always had room for a couple bites of Dad's chocolate silk pie or cherry pie.

Piccadilly was a Baton Rouge thing... They didn't open Piccadillys in the NO area until the 80's.



I’m not sure when it opened but Monroe has had one for as long as I can remember too.

Didn’t go on Easter Sunday but I remember going with my grandmother a lot. Loved walking down the line, always got jello and took maybe 2 bites.

I remember a little electronic bell that would ring every once in a while. Anyone know what that was about?

The last one is still here in Mobile. It started over here and is still alive. I know there is a Piccadilly in Jackson, MS.
ETA: Best after church food ever. Everything your grandma would cook and more while still being quality.

My family went out to eat about 5 times a year.

But we ate at Morrison's on Easter or Mother's day.

It seemed like every mall I ever went to growing up had one in Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama.
