Ice Cream Social: Sweet Spots for Ice Cream in NOLA
"From the moment you step through the wooden screen doorsat Hansen's uptown, you'll be struck by the relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. The snoballs at Hansen's Sno-Bliz are a local legend, dripping with handmade syrups in flavors like ginger and cardamom. It was Ernest and Mary Hansen who pioneered the treat with Ernest's patented Sno-Bliz machine back in 1939, giving the shaved ice a powdery, fluffy texture nothing like the granular uber-sweet sno-cones sold in some locales."
"Established in 1939, Hansen’s Sno-Bliz is a family-owned sno-ball (the Louisiana variation of what the rest of the country calls snow cones) stand located on Tchoupitoulas Street. Believed to be the oldest sno-ball stand in the United States, this refreshment spot is famous for its finely-shaved ice and homemade syrups. Today, Hansen’s still creates its own flavor variations every day and makes sno-balls with the original ice-shaving machine Ernest Hansen built in the 1930s."

"Next up is the Garden District's Sucré, situated at 3025 Magazine St. With 4.5 stars out of 822 reviews on Yelp, the chocolatier and shop, which offers desserts, macarons and more, has proven to be a local favorite."
"Spa Reyna began operations on December 22, 2009, and has been going strong ever since their opening. Come by and let their superior staff care for you."
"Why not bask in the warmth of just-so lighting, holding hands over burnished wood tables while slurping oysters from the polished marble bar.?. Art is everywhere, gilded mirrors too repose against exposed brick walls, more elements to inspire conversation and canoodling. This French sweet spot in the Eliza Jane Hotel, with its inviting courtyard wine bar, delivers a true brasserie menu - no Creole influence here - from frites to escargot to foie."
"Book a table for two at this classic French brasserie right off Magazine Street. At Couvant they but a southern spin on French classics and keep it classy with chic accents and spiffy touches. Enjoy dishes that are perfect for sharing, such as fresh oysters, foie gras terrine and mussels."
"Skate a la grenobloise features a sauce of brown butter, lemon, parsley and capers. Reservations accepted. Breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, brunch Sun."
"A post shared by Aubrey Adams (@aubreytinker) on Oct 7, 2016 at 2:01pm PDT. I actually visited this beer bar when I first visited New Orleans several years ago, and on my most recent visit it was once again, heavily recommended. Magazine Street is one of the most beautiful areas in NOLA and should you find yourself over there, grab yourself a beer and relax by their beer tap water fountain."
"3236 Magazine St., (504) 891-1516; 5135 Canal Blvd., (504) 488-4191; www.draftfreak.com. Tex-Mex egg rolls are filled with grilled chicken, cheese, black beans, roasted corn and peppers and served with raspberry-chipotle sauce."
