Melba’s Poboys at 1525 Elysian Fields Avenue

Everyone in New Orleans knows where Melba’s Po’boy shop is.

The iconic eatery / washerteria is a landmark located at the junction of Elysian Fields and North Claiborne Avenues.

But did you know that the owners, Jane and Scott Wolfe have a literacy program?

On the 15th Anniversary of the Worst Civil Engineering Disaster in US History, founder Sandy Rosenthal, in partnership with Jane Wolfe, will host a Book Give-away in support of literacy.

On August 29, 2005, Levees.org founder Sandy Rosenthal will sign and give away 100 books at Melbas’s Po’boys from 12-1:30p.

Rosenthal will sign 100 of her books, “Words Whispered in Water: Why the Levees Broke in Hurricane Katrina.

Many thanks to Jane Wolfe whose book “From GED to Harvard Then Inc. 500” (ForbesBooks, 2020) also went on sale this past April.
