Mid-City is a neighborhood of the city of New Orleans. A sub-district of the Mid-City District Area, its boundaries as defined by the New Orleans City Planning Commission are: City Park Avenue, Toulouse Street, North Carrollton, Orleans Avenue, Bayou St. John and St. Louis Street to the north, North Broad Street to the east, and the Pontchartrain Expressway to the west. It is a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places.[2] In 2023, the neighborhood was cited as one of the "coolest" in the world by Time Out.[3] In common usage, a somewhat larger area surrounding these borders, usually the areas bounded by the beltway formed by Interstates 10 and 610, is often also referred to as part of Mid-City.
