Treat yourself to a New Orleans Style Snoball
If you are vacationing in New Orleans during the hotter months (May – Oct) don’t leave without experiencing a New Orleans style snow-ball. There is nothing as refreshing as sitting in the shade enjoying a snowball on a hot New Orleans day. Whether you are a child or an adult this is a treat you don’t want to miss. Snow-balls, not to be confused with snow-cones, differ from other icy treats because they are made with shaved ice. They are sweet, light and melt in your mouth and come in dozens of flavors. You can also get just about any topping you want added, including ice cream, whipped cream, condensed milk and chocolate syrup. If you are in the French Quarter or CBD you will find this
New Orleans Snoball stand in Spanish Plaza which is on the riverfront between the Aquarium of the Americas and the Riverwalk Market Place. He also sells smoothees, ice cream, shakes and malts.
You too can board the New Orleans Streetcar at Canal Street Ferry terminal

I recommend that you take a Caribbean cruise from New Orleans
The cruise ship
Norwegian Spirit sailing down the Mississippi River past my neighborhood as she heads for the Gulf of Mexico and ultimately the Western Caribbean. If you are planning to take a cruise there is no better place to start then in
New Orleans.
Norwegian Cruise Lines offers a 7 day Western Caribbean cruise out of New Orleans.
Carnival Cruise Lines offers 4, 5 and 7 day Caribbean cruises aboard
the cruise ship Triumph. So when you come plan to arrive several days early and make New Orleans your first port of call. Stay in a
French Quarter Hotel and
explore New Orleans and the French Quarter.
French Quarter Street Vendors
This is a street vendor selling refreshing cold drinks, water, and ice cream sandwiches on
Royal and St Louis Street. While you are exploring the French Quarter do not worry about getting thirsty or hungry. Besides and abundant selection of
restaurants in the French Quarter there are also many convenience stores scattered through out the neighborhood and it's usually not difficult to find a friendly street vendor selling cold drinks, hot dogs, as well as other snacks. At times it can get down right hot in New Orleans. So be a big spender and treat the family to some ice cream and cold drinks.
Enjoy some New Orleans boiled crabs
Whether you buy your crabs or
catch them yourself, nothing beats a
New Orleans crab boil. A crab boil is part of every day life in New Orleans just as a barbeque is in other parts of the country. The ingredients for a perfect crab boil are friends and family, Louisiana Blue Crabs,
Zatarain’s (pronounced ZAT-uh-rans) crab boil, corn, onions, whole potatoes, garlic, and sausage. Everyone has their own personal recipe for boiling crabs and there are numerous recipes available on the web so I will not give you my two cents worth here. But I will tell you that in New Orleans they tend to be a little hotter and tastier so when in
New Orleans do as the New Orleanians do and find yourself some boiled crabs and enjoy. Nothing beats the sweet taste of a perfectly boiled crab like these my son just cooked up for us.
