Hong Kong Market -- 5…read more Located inside my favorite place on earth... and no, Disney World cannot compete. This is THE best international market in the Greater New Orleans area. Tucked inside is their bánh mì spot--the Vietnamese po-boy--and baby... it's a staple. Open daily, and you'll usually catch the same sweet older woman back there faithfully whipping out sandwiches like clockwork. It's something about that consistency and care that just hits different. They're under new management now and the space got a little upgrade, so I'm not sure if everything is exactly the same menu-wise, but my go-to has always been the one with meatballs--and I ALWAYS add extra pâté. That pâté? Don't skip it. The bread is exactly what it needs to be. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside... not too hard, not too soft. Perfect balance. Prices went up just a little, but honestly? For about $7, you're getting a full, loaded sandwich that eats like a meal and then some. Still one of my favorite quick eats. Every time I'm in there, I'm grabbing one.

Go in the morning and bring cash and you can buy your veggies while skipping the stores. But go early. One of the things I miss about living in the Marigny.

The only thing I noticed is that there were only 2 booths with actual vegetables/fruits. Maybe this is just a one weekend occurrence as I have only been once. Will update soon.

I'm sure I'm leaving something out, but you get the drift. Obviously the selection changes every week, but you get to know your favs. Parking is generally available, though you may have to drive around or walk a block or two - at least it's free on weekends. Bank to get cash is close by, but most vendors take Venmo now; some take credit cards. You've got to get out of bed - might as well make the morning a good experience. :)

Of course it was a little on the price of your side because it's in the middle of the French Quarter. The people working behind the counter were quite friendly.

Well first night in NOLA snacking needs. I got that accomplished. Have you ever had Hola Nola…read morechips? I'm a HARDCORE Juantonio's fan out west but the minute I had Hola Nola during my first trip...I knew I had East Coast Corn Chips I loved. I love the Cajun flavored chips. And Rouses was walking distance from my hotel, on the way home from a stop for a NOLA Sazerac. So I grabbed me two bags... should last a week. And some hummus and other snacks. Man was I glad I did. Barely spent anything versus paying double for half of what I got at Rouses in the hotel "market." Shop local. Support the community where you're visiting. Isn't that the point of going to a city? To take it in and support it instead of just supporting big chains?! The cashier was super sweet and friendly and we chatted about cats and dogs lol Prices. Good. Location. Good. Rouses. Good.

Royal Roastery is a bit of a mixed bag. They've got some savory nut options- I tried the barbecue…read morecashews. They were fine. They also carry some gummy and chocolate varieties, some spices, some boxed coffee, some Middle Eastern pastries. Only some things were labeled with either what it was or the price of it, so that was a little disorienting. I was surprised to find a cafe and gelato bar inside. The gelato flavors were incredible. I settled on popcorn caramel and baklava in a waffle bowl. An employee said that everything was made in-house. The price was standard considering that all was made there. The service was weird. I kept getting served after people who'd gotten there after me. My ice cream scoops were significantly smaller than my boyfriend's. Returning isn't high on my list of priorities, but I'm glad I tried them.

I was wondering around the WB with Re and she suggested we go "to the candy store." I was confused…read morebecause it was already after 8pm and what would be open? Royal Roastery that's who! This unassuming spot in a strip mall was gorgeous inside. And it serves coffee, pastries, ice cream plus y'know candy. AND they roast their own nuts, spices and I guess coffee beans. There were definitely folks hanging out and enjoying a Turkish style coffee... I guess either the caffeine doesn't hit them the way it does me or they had no plans to sleep. The candy isn't labeled 100% correctly but you kind of know that gummy worms are not gummy strawberries. I tried an assortment bag of gummies and some of chocolates and the price was by the pound. Re got some freshly roasted unsalted cashews and they were delicious! Parking is easy in the strip mall lot. And as you step in you definitely leave Louisiana and step into another country.
