840 N Rampart St
New Orleans, LA 70116

The Lost Sock in New Orleans, LA, boasts a unique blend of being both a local artist and vendor shop and a historical site as the birthplace of Rock and Roll. It's interesting to note that this establishment was the original location of the famed J&M Recording Studio. The setup is a perfect fusion of a half shop showcasing local talent and half laundromat offering a self-serve option powered by the EZ Card System, or the convenience of a Wash N Fold service for those seeking a more hands-off approach.

Stepping into The Lost Sock is not just about doing laundry; it's an experience that intertwines culture and history. Whether you're browsing the eclectic array of artworks and crafts or tending to your laundry needs, there's a sense of community and creativity that permeates the space. The Lost Sock truly embodies the essence of New Orleans, blending everyday practicality with a touch of artistic flair and a nod to its significant musical past.
