Mr. B's Bakery
4801 General Meyer AveA family-run small business. Not much to look at, but their donuts are addictive.
New Orleans has lots of snowball stands, but this one is a legend. In operation by the Hansens for decades (don't know if mom and pop are still alive) , it's a place even locals will stand in line to get a snowball.

One of my favorite "guilty pleasures." Frady's is just a "joint" or "hole in th wall." Attracts lots of colorful local characters, and the same family has been running it forever. Great place to get a poboy. Just a few sidewalk tables for dining.

There are more brands of pralines in New Orleans than you can shake a stick at. They are all pretty good. Loretta's pralines are in a category by themselves. They literally melt in your mouth without the gritty-sugary texture of other pralines. Notice: Ms. Loretta is a fine lady, but her helpers may act like they're doing you a favor to sell you anything.
