About Meet Monroe

Meet Monroe is your curated, independent guide to the Twin Cities of Northeast Louisiana. We believe that the heart of our community beats in its local businesses.

Our Mission

In a world of generic algorithms, we wanted to build something human. Our goal is simple: to connect locals and visitors with the authentic experiences that make Monroe and West Monroe unique.

From the historic charm of Antique Alley to the vibrant flavors of our downtown restaurants, we are dedicated to showcasing the hard-working entrepreneurs who shape our culture.

Why We Built This

Finding reliable, up-to-date information about local spots can be frustrating. Hours change, menus update, and sometimes the best spots are the ones you won't find on a big corporate map.

We created this directory to be:

  • Fast: No clutter, just the info you need.
  • Local-First: We prioritize locally owned businesses over national chains.
  • Comprehensive: A continually growing database of our city's resources.

Get Involved

This is a living project. If you are a business owner and want to update your listing, or if you're a resident who found a hidden gem we missed, we want to hear from you.
