    My favorite place to go in the 504 for a bite to eat and something sweet to drink. Great for a day out with a friend. Real scenic location, great customer service and good music in the dining area on the street. 10/10.

    Going check it out now. Will be back with an update on what I thought about the food but so far service is very slow even on a slow day.

    New and very clean snowball stand. The guy even wears gloves. I love a good snowball. A good snowball in my book is one with really soft ice so it's melts in your mouth. Hansen's snowballs were my favorite and now this stand is equally a favorite! I bought a pineapple and coconut cream mix, my husband had strawberry with condensed milk and they were delicious!

Everybody always says Hansen's is the best, but I'm sorry... they just can't compete with Chance in Hell, no matter what anyone says. Handcrafted syrups, quality ingredients, and that ice... listen. If you're really from New Orleans, you KNOW the difference between a snoball and a snow cone. That ice is so fine, so soft, it literally melts in your mouth. You really be like, "What ICE?!" It's up there, for real. And the space? Baby... it's a whole experience. Perfectly curated to their brand. Very show-stopping, very show girl, all the drama in the best way. It's beautiful, it's fun, it's a vibe. It is more on the pricier side. With the quality of the Snoball. The difference is in the details. Honestly, they're one of the main reasons we surviving this heat. There really is a Chance in Hell lol.

It's just right. I got the Ube and it was delicious to the last bite. I of course went over board and had it stuffed. Cutest place and beyond generous with their toppings. So good. A must try if you want good elevated snowballs.

    So many things to eat, see, and buy!…read more My friends and I walked over here as it was on our list of things to do but we were so amazed at how many food options there are as well as things to buy. The end we came in from started with food and there are beignets, oysters, boils, crawfish, and a whole bunch of other options. There is something for everyone to eat here. The other section had a lot of stalls selling trinkets, clothes, and artwork. I bought a couple of cute dresses and my friends and I all bought some artwork to bring home. It's a great place to get your souvenir shopping done as there are some unique pieces here!

From the moment you walk into this space, what you are confronted with is tons of all kinds of great and unique everything. Much of it is not only sold by local artisans, but made by them, as well. French market is predominantly an open air location. What you will find here are small shops that each offer a very unique collection of items that are very specific to their own shop. The items that are sold here span the gambit from jewelry, to artworks, to ethnic pieces that represent the culture from where the shop owner comes from. There is really a lot of everything at the French Market. Meaning, this is a great place to get that really unique gift that you wanna get for that special someone or to find that unique piece of whatever that you will personally use. As there are numerous shops here, each business provides a unique buying experience. Each one represents what they offer, and do it from their own perspective. From this, you'll find some shop merchants that are super friendly, very cordial, and more than willing to make deals with you. Others, not so much. But, that's what makes this location truly interesting. All the personalities that make up this shopping establishment. More than simply a place to shop for gifts, artworks, souvenirs, and the like, French Market also offers some great food stalls. So, if you need a snack, drink, or even a full meal, you can find it here. As this is open air, in the summer, it can get kinda hot inside this establishment. This is not bad or good, this is just something to keep in mind. This is the same during the winter months. You can't get kind of cold in there. But, at least from my perspective, that's a little bit easier to deal with. You just have to wear a jacket. Overall, this is one of the main stays of NOLA. It's truly a must see location. And, for people who know the city well, this is a place to go to when you want to find that truly unique item. Truly, you never know what you'll find.

Stopped in for a snoball, as my regular snoball stop was closed for the day and lo and behold as I'm driving down the street, I SPIED, you know the game I SPY, well, I SPIED Downtown 504 Snoballs. I made a beeline and turned to partake of the syrupy goodness. Good thing I stopped as soon as I did, because shortly after arriving, they began their daily 'shut down' procedures. Anywho... So many flavor choices to choose from, what's a girl to do? So, I took my time, surveyed the selections and picked the most interesting combination... stuffed (with ice cream) STRAWBERRY + MANGO; two of my favessssssssss. The snoball was so juicy and tasty and thirst-quenching until, I had to savor the greatness before pulling off. I mean, scoop after scoop rendered a great juice & ice combination. I tried to stir to mix the ice cream and syrup, but the mouthwatering that was going on was too much to contain. So I began eating and slurping, don't judge me, and eating and slurping; until I looked up and nearly half of it was gone and I was still sitting in front the snoball stand. I plan to return to try the other snoball flavors and menu items. I like that the owner, employs school aged youth. This is a great way to teach them the value of entrepreneurships, supply and demand, the importance of customer service and help to bone up on their math skills. Yay, yay, yay!!!
