Awesome local ice cream parlor. Retro style and delicious flavors you won't find elsewhere. They serve coffee as well. My fave flavor is Peanut Butter Fudge Pie but the Smoky Salty Chocolate Almond is a strong contender. You also can't go wrong with Bananas Foster or Red Velvet.

One of my favorites. Feels like being in a secret speakeasy or something. Almost hidden in the French Quarter. Great moody ambience for a date or night out with friends.

Domilise's Po-Boy & Bar
5240 Annunciation StBest sno-balls in the city at this historic family-run shop. My favorite is coconut topped with crushed pineapple. Ask for condensed milk on top if you like extra-sweet!

Can't go wrong with a shrimp po-boy! If you're hungry, ask for a side of fried green tomatoes or fried pickles. Their BBQ oysters are out of this world.

Classic gelato from a historic family-run establishment. If you happen to be in Mid-City or just passing by, it's worth a stop for tiramisu or stracciatella gelato. Great Italian baked goods to take home as well.

Parks & Nature
Beautiful park for walking, cycling, picnics and more. Many nature talks by Audubon Institute and often live music events as well. There is a public golf course in the middle of the park, and the zoo is across the street. Several playgrounds close to the St. Charles side of the park.

Large playground on St Charles Ave with areas for toddlers and older kids. Large grassy area for ball games as well. Not fenced in so you will need to keep a close watch on little ones as this playground is right on St Charles Ave (busy street). Still well-worth a visit.
