This is from Wikipedia.
Tchoupitoulas Street is a street in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. It is the through street closest to the Mississippi River running through Uptown New Orleans. Formerly, the street was heavily devoted to river shipping commerce, but as shipping became more containerized in the later 20th century, more of it became devoted to residential and other commercial uses.
The street starts at upriver side of Canal Street (the other side of French Quarter) and goes through New Orleans Central Business District and Uptown following the curve of the crescent bend of the river before coming to its terminus hitting East Road at Audubon Park.The equivalent street on the French Quarter side of Canal Street is Peters Street. Peters splits into two streets on the Uptown side, one continuing as Peters, and the other as Tchoupitoulas.
In the Central Business District, some renowned hotels (such as Ambassador Hotel and Renaissance Arts Hotel) and restaurants (Emeril's and also Mother's at the corner of Poydras Street and Tchoupitoulas) are located on the street. In Uptown, Tipitina's, a music club, is located at the corner of Napoleon Avenue and Tchoupitoulas. Other stores, restaurants, and clubs are located further up river along Tchoupitoulas, perhaps most famously Hansen's Sno-Bliz.
The name of the street comes from the name of an extinct Indian tribe [1]. The name is pronounced CHOP-it-TOO-luhs.

Reply:It's Tchoupitoulas Street, and it runs parallel to the Mississippi River; it's one block from the river. It runs from Canal Street downtown all the way uptown to the Audubon Zoo's swamp exhibit. The name comes from an Indian tribe which translates to "those who live along the river."
