French Market in New Orleans was definitely that for me on my trip out there. I had heard of it before i arrived but I truly didn't know how great it was. I stumbled upon it after visiting Cafe Du Monde near Jackson Square. I decided to walk off those beignets off and stumbled upon the French Market. It was overwhelming. Just rows and rows of vendors and food spots. It's an open-air market though it is covered. My favorite spot in there was Loretta's Pralines and her famous savory crab beignets-which is in competition for my favorite bite in all of New Orleans. It's a perfect spot to buy darn near everything a tourist would want to buy on a New Orleans vacation. It's located right near the outer edges of the French Quarter and the Riverwalk. It covers about six blocks and dates back to the early 1800s. It truly is a piece of New Orleans history. I feel it's a true "must-visit" spot for anyone coming to the wonderful city of New Orleans.

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!

The woman working the popsicle counter was very friendly and guided us through the large menu of cream and fruit popsicles. Some flavors are in full size for $4 and others are mini (half the size of the regular) for $2. I enjoyed the mini hazelnut fudge popsicle and my seven-year-old daughter enjoyed the strawberry lemonade one. There's an outdoor patio guests are welcome to, but there aren't restrooms. Also, payment is through Venmo, Cash App, Paypal, etc.

I was bummed reading other recent reviews about Taceaux Loceaux. I went last week and had a very…read morepleasant experience. I went on a Thursday evening and it was not super crowded. I started with their housemade hibiscus margarita with a tajin rim instead of salt. I thought it was good and not too sweet. The tacos, to me, were delicious. I think they have an option for anyone and they have some pretty unique combos. I loved the Korean inspired taco and their classic brisket taco. I did go for the tacos but I did get to try their guacamole and the amazeballs. The guac was not the best and you don't get much -- could've used more seasoning. I liked the amazeballs + they come with a really good chipotle aioli. I think this place has some things to work on while they get situated from reopening but I do think they have some great tacos!
