Men pay 100% of the price while women pay 66% of that...because that's the wage gap in Louisiana. In other city locations, the disparity is less so the prices are closer. The artists represented are diverse as are the crafts from textiles to pottery to coffee to jewelry to prints to photos to lotion. I found some great pieces...that may end up in my house instead of Christmas presents, oh well. They prefer credit cards and are really great to chat with as they are very enthusiastic about the shop and the artists represented. Hours are 12-7 Tuesday-Sunday.

The crawfish itself is amazing, the seasoning is perfect and the potato, sweet potato, sausage, and corn comes in a separate bag with your order (also very well seasoned). I read someone stated, the guy needs to "slow his yapping" which is a RIDICULOUS take as you can tell this guy loves what he does and loves talking to people in the community. It's clearly not JUST a business for him but a way to provide quality food for people. For us, we enjoyed the brief conversation we had with all the guys working that day, made the experience a bit more personable. 10/10 recommendations!!

SENSORY F*CK*NG OVERLOAD…read more That's what I think everytime I chat about Papa Ted's. Hot damn have Dawn and her team thought of everything. Reusable jars and straws? check Reusable jars and straws you can keep? check ZERO artificial flavors? check 100% vegan? check One of the best snoballs you'll ever have? CHECK Seriously, Papa Ted's is like New Orleans meets the foodie scene of Los Angeles. The passion and history of NOLA is there but with the health consciousness of LA and trends. These snoballs are not only delicious but they're so pretty. Dawn, yes THE DAWN RICHARDS from Danity Kane and her solo music career, is the proud owner of Papa Ted's. She founded and created Papa Ted's in honor of her father and grandfather and made it a point to be 100% vegan as she wanted to create an experience that was as healthy as possible for everyone to enjoy. Papa Ted's values is all about empowering the BIPOC and LGBTQIA communities, as well as, women. Totally a safe space. The snoball I enjoyed had lavender seeds, fresh bits of citrus within the syrup, and I was even able to try their other flavors before deciding. Papa Ted's also sells savory foods but I had to stay away from them due to my allergens of coconut and almond. Every flavor I had kept making me dropping my jaw, I totally loved their "Fall in a Jar". These snoballs don't have the crazy sugary rush of classic snoballs, they're artisanal and honestly could be a mocktail on it's own at some of the finest bars around town. What's pretty cool about Papa Ted pop-ups is that it's not just food. Dawn and her team also empower other local entrepreneurs by providing live music, artistry, and vendors. It's a party y'all (socially distant and safe of course). The whole team wears masks and gloves btw! I'll be back y'all!

What makes these snowballs so special is that they are vegan and organic. I had the jalapeño, watermelon stacheball. Good blend of flavor that surprised the taste buds. I also had their vegan sausage biscuit sandwich. Fluffy biscuit paired with honey, DELICIOUS. You can find their pop-up locations Instagram. The staff members were super personable and entertaining. Great customer service.

It was wonderful wandering around checking out all of the eat-in options, the take-away selections, and better yet, just having such a relaxing, bright, clean place to eat. From PDR in particular, I got their brussels sprouts salad, and it was delicious. Served cold, they were shredded, lightly dressed, and served with some goat cheese & beet puree. It was a large portion, enough for us all to share with some other items, and I'd definitely recommend trying if you like brussels sprouts. The guy who I placed the order with was also very nice and ended up bringing it to me even though we were seated across the way at a different place. Give them a try; you won't be disappointed!

I've never had a bad meal here. I've eaten at PDR inside of St. Roch many times and it's always…read morebeen good. I've had a number of the things off the menu and each has well worth the purchase. At one point they had short ribs on the menu. It was served with butter beans, cherry tomatoes, and braised greens. It was a very good dish that made you feel like you were sitting at Grandma's table. The beet and mozzarella salad that they do is a nice light snack. I'm not a fan of beets at all but in this salad I guess I do like it. Probably the best dish that I've ever had from PDR is the braised pork shoulder. It was served over creamy cheese grits and braised greens. It really is the perfect dish. Everything works well together and it is something that I get over and over when I go. The cold fried chicken sandwich is good. But it is... different. The piece of chicken on the sandwich is cold so it takes some getting used to at first, but it's not bad. The tacos are pretty good too. When you're roaming around St. Roch trying to figure out what to get I recommend trying PDR.

My BFF, whom I hadn't seen since before the pandemic began lived in town. The owner responded in the comments to my enthusiasm for the meet up and was genuinely excited to give us this opportunity We arrived where this urban gem was parked and set off to meet the owner and her kids that are a part of this mobile, pandemic-safe, outdoor, well-ventilated mini "happening" business. Amazing skill has gone into every inch of the presentation of this converted shuttle bus, just as every plant is lovingly and beautifully-tended plant which you could purchase. As a gardener, I was floored by the diversity and rarity of some of the plants. You'll never see some of these outside a catalog or Pinterest. Incredibly knowledgeable and generous with her time, the whole family is involved with this progressive and innovative business that gives back in both spirit, beauty and a free plant. Highly recommended!

She always gives people her business card to make it easier to contact her if you go home and find yourself with more questions! The business was transported to the market via bus.  This was a cute silver bus with the inside renovated to become a little showroom for plants! Absolutely adorable. There were numerous types of plants there of all different sizes, but I got a mint and pothos plant (complimentary with my Yelp Elite Perk).  I also purchased a bigger bromeliad plant as well with a beautiful orange bloom.  They all look super well-taken care of and healthy!  Cross my fingers, I'm hoping they stay that way once I get them home! I didn't see all of the prices on the plants, but from what I saw, they were reasonably priced.  A lot of them were under $10. I'd spend that much buying plants from a big box store, but getting it from Tabitha, the plants are probably in better shape for the same price. Plus, it's always nice to go local!

We tried the pork soup dumplings, too, and they were soooo yummy! Highly recommend stopping in if, like me, you also love noods.

While visiting the area on vacation, we decided to dine here based on the restaurant's unique…read moreconcept and name. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. We ordered the bao and immediately noticed a sour taste after only one bite. We informed our server that we did not enjoy the dish, but it was not removed from our bill. Additionally, the chicken pho broth lacked flavor and tasted more like dirty water than a properly prepared pho broth. Service was also lacking. Throughout much of our visit, several staff members appeared to be sitting at the bar on their phones rather than actively attending to guests. The overall hospitality did not meet our expectations. To make matters worse, when paying with tap-to-pay, the gratuity screen only presented tip options of 20%, 22%, and 25%. The server held the payment tablet while we completed the transaction, creating an uncomfortable situation where customers may feel pressured to leave a substantial tip regardless of the quality of service received. Given the level of service we experienced, this left a particularly poor impression. Based on our experience with both the food quality and customer service, I would not recommend this restaurant to others looking for a place to eat while visiting the area.
