Add this to your itinerary. Absolutely worth the stop…read more Shaved Ice doesn't describe it properly. It's like a fluffy snow cloud. Get the satsuma or any citrus flavor. So refreshing. The strawberry shortcake is good but super creamy and heavy. The crushed strawberry topping (extra) helps lighten it up. The sizes are massive and very reasonably priced.

Hansen's is a good, solid choice if you are looking for a sno-ball. They have been around for 86…read moreyears!! I like how they employ "the kids". Nostalgic to see, hard working summer jobs. You can not go to New Orleans without trying Hansens at least once. If you are local, its a really nice place to visit the evening of a hot day. I have tried the root beer, chocolate, cream of coconut, strawberry and spearmint. All have been tasty. For about $8-10 you can get a snow ball with a pineapple and cherry. For about $12-13 you can get marshmallow on top and I highly recommend this for the experience. Its typically a longer line but its part of the experience. When you go inside, its like a blast from the past. You are gonna have syrup all over the souvenir cup and all. They have many choices to choose from.

It's been a long time since I've been here so I was excited for my recent visit. The service was…read morequick but the prices were surprisingly high for two small snowballs- 1 with an ice cream add-on was $9- seems a bit high in my opinion. I understand the economy is rough but is the price of ice really that much higher? Additionally, the flavoring was a bit stale. I hate that I don't have a rave review as this place is so nostalgic for me. I had a pineapple with pina colada and soft serve.

We both ordered different versions of the Shaved ice. I ordered a medium shaved ice with three flavors (tigers blood, blue raspberry and wild cherry) and I opted for ice cream in the middle. My dining companion ordered small lemon lime with no extras added. The establishment has indoor and outside dining available. They also offer other food options such as hot dogs, fries, etc. There was also positive spiritual quotes on the artwork. I definitely felt better when I left. Friendly service and my icee!!

I stopped by pandora's snowballs on a saturday afternoon and it was pretty busy. Despite the long line, we actually were served pretty quickly. And our snowball was made pretty fast as well. The food was pretty good! It was very sugary, but that's kinda what you come for :) the ice was really good & the cream was also yummy. It was a nice balance. I also thought the flavors of ice were nice and potent. We got a stuffed snowball with vanilla cream & half mango + half strawberry cheesecake. We also got the sour spray on the mango half. I'd recommend getting some more toppings, it would definitely make it more delicious I was a little disappointed that there was no seating or tables to eat at. Had to eat and walk at the same time.. or if there were tables we couldn't find them. But overall a good experience

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 French Market is one of those main stages of New Orleans culture. It's one of those…read moreestablishments that has been around forever. 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.
