Come on over, I will put you to work!

Thanks anyway - I found direction.

Very big. It is one of the oldest and largest in the US.
The video at the top of this link gives an idea of what it is like.

There is a Vietnamese guy there who runs a seafood stand with everything from crab legs to sea bass to catfish. He also has a variety of obscure species of mushrooms. He always gives me great deals. I acquired some chanterelle mushrooms that I can't find at any local grocery stores. Frequently he has morels and when I buy some fish he gifts some to me. In N'awlins they call that a lagniappe.
A bag of morels is a pretty good tip.
The Soulard neighborhood is also home to the second largest Mardi Gras festival in the US. https://spoonuniversity.com/lifestyle/the-5-best-cities-to-visit-for-mardi-gras-this-year
We sometimes host a Mardi Gras party at our house including a big crawfish boil. That's on hold for a couple years. When it returns, I'm going to grill a whole alligator. The meat market at Soulard Market carries ground alligator, tails and whole gators. Plus elk, bison, organ meats and a wide variety of cold cuts like blood sausage and head cheese.
This is beer country. At the start of the civil war, there were about 40 breweries in the Soulard neighborhood and its surrounds. Among them were the flagship Anheuser Bush and Lemp breweries and were among the few that survived Prohibition. Lemp became Falstaff. The Lemp mansion is a great attraction for its gourmet restaurant but especially because it is haunted and it's ghost tours. Several family members committed suicide there.
