"Innovative, vegan-friendly fare with tropical influences in a cozy spot with an open kitchen. Open for lunch and dinnerPhone: +1 504-875-4132"

"Snack time at Cafe du Monde Gotta get some beignets or you didn’t come to NOLA. Have them with cafe au lait or hot chocolate. Beignets are just deep-fried dough drowning in powdered sugar."

"BUT, I’m glad you made it to Sucre and Cafe du Monde, because those really are awesome!! josypheen April 19, 2018 at 4:49 am - Reply"

"A bacon-basil grilled cheese sandwich features Gruyere cheese, grilled tomatoes and red onion on multigrain bread and is served with a side."

"Toast is a friendly neighborhood bakery with several locations around the city that offer a comfortable spot for a quick coffee and warm croissant or cinnamon roll, a healthy plate of fresh fruit, homemade granola and yogurt, or a heartydishess of eggs, bacon, country fried steak, potatoes, grits, biscuits, and gravy. Patrons sit at the breakfast bar and dine on three-egg omelets and egg scrambles, toast with a variety of toppings from bacon to beef, and French toast. The café’s signature dish is pancake-like aebleskiveras that are served with a selection of homemade sauces such as lemon curd, blueberry sauce, and strawberry jam."

"Toast NOLA is known for their spin on various breakfast toasts— avocado with an egg, chocolate with bananas, or even honey, prosciutto, and ricotta. These pancake puffs sprinkled with powdered sugar and your choice of a Nutella, chocolate, jam, caramel, lemon curd, or syrup dipping sauce on the side are the perfect treats to follow a healthy slice of avocado toast. I mean, hey, it's all about balance."

"Toast is just far enough from the main tourist haunts to make you feel like you’re really in the know. Inspired by the cozy cafes of Paris, you won’t be able to accommodate your Mardi Gras crew, but that’s not why you’re here. Order a latte and the menu’s must-try item: the Aebleskivers, Danish pancake balls smothered in powdered sugar and a host of sweet condiments."

"Green is beautiful at Satsuma, a fetching dining spot with locations on Maple Street Uptown and on Dauphine Street in the Bywater. Yard eggs scrambled with basil pesto and shaved Nueske's ham, free trade coffee and freshly made juices concocted in their industrial juicer behind the bar are just a few of the daily specials. Vegans are in heaven here, thanks to dishes like the tofu scramble and black bean burger with avocado mash."

"A Bywater spot with a great and well-deserved reputation, the Satsuma Café can be easily identified by the line of customer that are often snaking out the door. But this is a good thing, and it’s not hype. You won’t find pancakes on their printed menu, but their delicious spins on buttermilk creations (think roasted pear or s’mores pancakes) are usually a daily special."

"Located directly adjacent to the New Orleans Museum of Art, the five-acre park provides a delightful instance for exploring the picturesque landscape of live oaks, Spanish moss, and lagoons. The 64 sculptures are, of course, another strong reason to venture to the garden.

"The sculpture garden that sits just outside the New Orleans Museum of Art is a wooded quilt of streams, pathways, lovers' benches and, of course, sculpture, mainly of the modern and contemporary sort. During spring and summer, theatrical productions are often put on here, but it's a lovely spot for a stroll any time of year."

"Just outside NOMA’s front door, find the recently expanded Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden, a collection of sculptures set among City Park’s oaks and lagoons. The three-acre expansion includes 27 outdoor artworks. Admission to the sculpture garden is always free."

"A family affair, pastry chef Abby and husband Aaron (their business is named for sweet baby Lucy) churn out a collection of popular, small-batch ice creams in flavors like Key Lime Pie, Cane Syrup Pecan and Brown Butter Hazelnut Cookie. You’ll find pints at weekly pop-up markets all over town and other places listed on their Instagram feed."

The Fudgery offers a large selection of flavors for your ice cream, fudge, shakes, smoothies, candy apples, and other delicious sweet treats. The moment you step into the shop, you will be greeted by the divine aroma of fudge and bright smiles by its charming employees."

"This soft serve chain started five years ago in Sydney, with franchises now in Texas, Virginia and here in New Orleans, the second U.S. location. Aqua S dishes Instagrammable soft serve in flavors like cappuccino, Arnold Palmer, and cotton candy that look and taste just like how they sound. This location is owned by sisters Loan Le and Yen Truong, who fell in love with the place in Houston."

"This outpost of the Australian brand is famed for its creamy, bright-blue, sea-salt soft serve and Instagramable décor begging for selfies. With a library of more than 100 flavors, only a few are offered at a time, and they change every two weeks. A recent favorite—pancake swirled with sea salt—was cool, salty-sweet hominess."

"This Marigny storefront is light and airy with lighting that changes between colors like purple and green, friendly servers, and consistently good raw seafood offerings. It’s hard not to love Royal’s generous portion of tuna tataki and the “geisha kiss” roll stuffed with tuna, salmon, yellowtail, snow crab, asparagus, avocado, cucumber, and masago. There’s also an extensive array of ramen bowls, with pick-your-own protein, broth, and veg for a bowl of custom noodle love."

"Chicken, shrimp, beef or pork top spicy miso broth ramen with naruto fish cake, egg, seaweed, mushrooms, bamboo shoots and green onions."

"Flouting “California style sushi,” Metairie’s Kanno proffers the usual, along with an entire section of skinny rolls sans rice and soy paper. Available in half and full roll portions, these pared down rolls include the likes of the Elvis roll (named for the chef), made with salmon, avocado, and both snow and blue crab, and the protein roll, with spicy tuna, snow crab, avocado and salmon. A hefty sake menu includes sparkling sake, though it’s not always featured."
