Food Scene

Delicious breakfast and baked goods in a casual atmosphere with fun, generally bayou-themed art on the walls. Strong coffee. One of my favorites.

I think they've got the best biscuits in town. Hipstery (they're the source for the best coffee) but friendly and relaxed.

Yummy and bountiful. Kosher and vegan and waffle fries! A black-owned business to boot.

Newly renovated and just a block away with a great variety of local food vendors. Good for people-watching, too.

Really good New York-style pizzas with fresh, often innovative ingredients. They've got a larger menu but I've only ever gotten the pie. In the evenings they deliver by bike.

A great breakfast spot with the most delicious (and indulgent) Bananas Foster french toast. Plus they serve French Truck coffee, my favorite.

Shopping

A sweet little storefront connected to the Healing Center that sells beautiful and reasonably priced Haitian voodoo banners among other items.

You always need to know where a drugstore is nearby; this one's just a few of blocks away. There's also a new CVS on Elysian Fields & N. Claiborne if that's your preference (it's not on the map yet).

Great little shop that only sells work by local artists and craftspersons. It's housed at the Kowalski address in Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire. Buy Local!

If you like thrift and don't mind a little dust, Bargain Center (and the adjacent, basically unmarked Pop Shop) is a must. I've gotten many a gem at these two unassuming spots.

My absolute favorite shop for small gifts and housewares, and the proprietor is so lovely!

Everything Else

This is one of my favorite spots in the city--a little down at the heels, a little creepy, and totally fun. I love love love this kind of thing, though.

A lovely shop with a special selection of wines, spirits, and some local foods. I believe they do tastings and whatnot, too.

Okay, yes, the clothes are really only for the well-heeled 20-something, but maybe that's who you are! They have great accessories, too, that you won't find elsewhere. Plus, it's owned by black women!

Essentials

An astonishingly comprehensive selection for what is essentially a corner store. And I think they're open 24 hours.
