DON'T leave new Orleans without a snow-blitz. You can walk from our house. Though warning, the lines are ridiculous, but there's a reason people wait an hour or more. Their shaved ice is pillowy and their flavors are mouth watering. Only open in the summer season.

This is our favorite dive eatery in the city. It's way on the other end of town but if you're out towards Bywater or the Lower Ninth, definitely stop in. There's great vegan, vegetarian and locally sourced meat, it's reasonably priced and seriously yummy. It's a small operation so sometimes it's a wait so don't come in a rush.
