Historic Old Arabi, located between the Mississippi River levee and St. Bernard Highway, is a historic and residential Arabi neighborhood with shotgun cottages and corner bars. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around St. Claude Avenue near Mehle Street, where murals, small galleries, and porch-front hangouts set the pace. The Old Arabi Bar anchors the social map with live-music energy and a lived-in feel. The Old Arabi Cultural Arts Center adds exhibitions and community programming inside a restored building. Low-slung bungalows, deep lots, and oak shade frame a walkable grid that meets the river’s industrial edge. Street art and festival weekends give the blocks a creative, local cadence.
