The most famous (and best) of the many New Orleans sno-ball stands. Like most sno-ball stands, they are seasonal and close around Halloween until it gets warm again. They have won a James Beard award and seriously deserve it. Expect to have a wait when it is really hot outside.

A unique spot with great live music and excellent food. When you walk in, it will seem like a wine and cheese shop. You buy your wine or cheese and then head out back where the outdoor stage is. You will then be brought a plate of your cheese with a bunch of great crackers, veggies and spreads. They also have a changing menu. It is a very fun spot that feels special and secret.
