Gas prices are reasonable for the area, as New Orleans East prices consistently tend to be about 10 cents more than in the city or Metairie; Big Cat's gas is maybe 7 cents above that average. They're listed as a convenience store, and I think a lot of high schoolers frequent the location for that reason. I've seen kids with fried chicken and cheese fries loitering and enjoying themselves in an artery-clogging manner of which I can only dream.

In the food desert that is New Orleans East, there exists one watering hole (which we'll call the…read moreWinn Dixie on Chef) and a few sparsely located cacti from which you can suck the pulp for sweet hydration. Oh, yes, and then there's the times where you can't figure out what to eat, and on the brink of near death you end up resorting to drinking your own piss to keep you alive - we'll call that fast food saturation. Anyways, what does this have to do with Viet My? Go back to my illustrious (or rather, corny and plagiarized from the US Department of Agriculture) metaphor with the food desert. Viet My would be like trying to hydrate yourself with the pulp of a cactus fruit in the middle of a desert: 1) It's fucking gangster. And by that, I mean bad-ass. 2) It's not as good as drinking from an oasis (Wholefoods), but it sure ain't as bad as drinking your own piss (fast food all day err'day). 3) And yes, it's enough to make your survive plus more. No, really, it is. Wanna get fucked up? No problem, Viet My stocks enough Four Loko to commit mass genocide via alcohol poisoning against stupid Washington State University students. Craving Mexican food? With the influx of Mexican and Honduran immigrants post-Katrina, Viet My has graciously stocked their shelves with everything you need to make a Mexican feast (plus, if you're unable there's a taco truck conveniently parked outside as a back-up) from pickled jalapeno slices, tortillas, to Mexican pan dolces and bolilos. Vietnamese? Given the name of the store, it's got everything short of Viet Nam itself: fish sauce, balut (hot vit lon), banh pho, the correct veggies to make the food of your ancestors, and every part of a cow imaginable. So what separates Viet My from Winn Dixie? First, there's a $20 minimum for card. Second, if you need toiletries (toilet paper, medicine, etc.) or American type produce (ice cream and shit), you're better off with Winn Dixie. Anyways, but forreal, what gives Viet My an edge on its competition in the area is the fact that it has it sells fresh made Vietnamese sandwiches (banh mi) and che (Vietnamese desserts) that are made in-house and to-order! Stuff like that, plus the fact that the cashier will sometimes remember me, keep me coming to Viet My more than Winn Dixie.

There's a small frozen meat market at the back, although it has less options than Minh Canh across the street. The banh mi from here is the bomb! I love their meatballs and it doesn't hurt that the owner's daughter is a friend. I agree with Marisa X that it has gotten a lot more bearable to shop here without creepoids catcalling as you walk in. The shelves at the cash wrap often have fresh homemade Vietnamese food, such as fried fish cakes or glutinous rice. Prices are very reasonable. As expected for the East, CASH ONLY.

My favorite gas station in Harvey! If you've ever driven on Manhattan Blvd, you know there are tons…read moreof other gas stations available but they're always blocked by the awful traffic or are not well kept (dirty, run down). Food-N-Fun is still on Manhattan but winds up being a hidden gem because it's tucked behind the Best Buy and on the opposite end of Manhattan from the high traffic. Every time I've gone to Food-N-Fun it's been extremely clean and I've never had to wait for a pump. The inside is also well-kept with nice cashiers. I obviously love that it's a hidden gem but I never understand why more people don't just take the 30 second detour and use this gas station instead.

They have salami, jams and preservatives, coffee beans and loose teas. There's also honey, chocolate, candy and snacks. Their prices are much higher than what similar retailers charge.

The owner was very short tempered and not at all pleasant in answering the most basic questions about the products in his store. This is a huge turn off.

That being said, it is a very convenient location for me. This store has a very convenient location on St. Charles Avenue, right before the intersection with Louisiana Ave. Gas prices are usually competitive with the area & a few cents under. Getting gas & occasionally picking up a few things is why I use this spot. Now, I'll be honest it is not the cleanest place. Most of the times I've stopped in since the pandemic started, the employees have been wearing masks except once. Then again, the point of stopping at a convenience store is to make a quick stop, so I got out fast. Still, I hope they reinforce the wearing of masks by employees. Especially since it is a city ordinance.
