The Food
It's no secret that New Orleans is a culinary mecca, but with so many great restaurants, it can be hard to choose where to go! This is my tried and true list.

Honey's
@alyssaminniskaste
This neighborhood gem has coffee, matcha, pastries and more! It's also a great place to post up with your laptop if you need to get some work done while you're in town.

This little gem of a cafe has something for everyone! From coffee and tea to gluten free and vegan treats, you're sure to find something ya like. The best part? Well behaved pups are allowed to hang out inside!
