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.

Same thing-- after I stopped pumping, the machine kept adding up charges for invisible gas. So much for that "calibration" the clerk kept insisting on.

Pepsi & Ruffles - Woo-hoo!…read more SITREP I couldn't ask for more from the Exxon Mini-Mart across the street from Hotel Modern that has got the munchies and beverages I like for cheap! THE SETUP I am not a big fan of hotel temptations & their placement of expensive LITTLE bottles of alcohol & cans of soda in my hotel fridge. Nor the clever product place of little bags of chips and chex mix for $3 in drawers next to my FREAKIN BED! So the way I HAVE to combat this during my stay here is get inexpensive munchie and beverage options to COMBAT temptation in my own room. MUNCHIES GALORE They had all sorts of cool stuff, but I settle on a big bag of ruffles for $4. The BEST deals here, however, were on my Diet Pepsi - I got 3 2LTR bottles for only $4 as well! Will I be able to finish them over the 4 day-stay? MAYBE. But that wasn't the point. Compare that to the little cans of soda and bottles of tea in hotels and other hotel stores ranging upward to $2-$3 themselves. So I'm ready for when I'm thirsty, and for when I get a mid-night attack for something crunchy and salty. And it won't cost me an arm and a leg in room service charges. THE LOWDOWN Props to Exxon 5-1901 for having my crap, at great prices, for when I need it! [P.S. On the Yelp survey question below that asks about "Parking", I'm checking the box that says, "Valet"] ;)

Forget the white tablecloths; the real NOLA magic is happening right here under the neon lights. The Legend: The Fried Chicken Let's talk about that fried chicken. It's seasoned to perfection with that signature Louisiana kick--salty, spicy, and crunchier than it has any right to be. The skin stays crispy even if you're eating it out of a brown paper bag in the car, and the meat is consistently juicy. The Lowdown * The Sides: Do not sleep on the red beans and rice or the cajun fries. They are the perfect salty companions to a 2-piece or 3-piece box. * The Vibe: It's fast, it's loud, and it's authentic. The line might move quickly, but the flavor lingers. * The Price: You simply cannot find a better value for high-quality comfort food in the city. The Verdict Whether it's a late-night craving after hitting Bourbon Street or just a quick lunch on the go, Brothers is a local institution for a reason. It's consistent, it's iconic, and it hits the spot every single time. Elite Tip: Grab extra napkins. You're going to need them, and you won't care one bit.

This Shell is the perfect place to get gas in the Lower Garden District…read more Why is the perfect place to get gas? Because it is one of the few stations in the area, and it is conveniently located. I guess there isn't much else to say, but what good would a two sentence review be? There is a small convenience store attached to this station. It has the typical items, but the real reason I come is to get gas. I've found it easiest to enter this station when traveling down Magazine in an Uptown direction, but entering from Jackson works well too. If you're in the area and need gas, check out this Shell.

In my last year and a half of nonstop travel, I have continually sought out convenience stores and…read moreespecially their cashiers or clerks - because I used to be one myself and because I think they are among the most unsung and underpaid essential workers in our society. In that great search for the perfect convenience store and the greatest cashier, Adel - a 30ish, bearded, Middle Eastern-looking guy who cashiers at this store - is perhaps the coolest and most memorable character I have encountered. He is so laid-back and so quintessentially himself that I assumed, at first, that his supremely flowing presence had to be chemically assisted. Talking to him, you think you have just walked into a Cheech and Chong movie or the great Clerks movie. But when I very playfully mimicked his singing way of speech and his rhythmic way of moving his body as he talked - to ask him if he maybe was just a little bit high - he responded "No" with such calm, happy authority that I now believe him. I think he has just so totally surrendered to being his own quirky self that he doesn't talk like anybody I have ever encountered who was straight. Because he looked Middle Eastern to me and because so many cashiers in these stores are Middle Eastern, I probed for his ethnicity. "Where were you born, Adel? Were you maybe born in India?" In reply, he said the simple word "No" as if he had just delivered me a very important password. "So were you maybe born in Pakistan?" He gave me a big wink and a look of great happiness as he simply said, "No." "Were you born on this planet?" He looked like he was handing me a big yellow rose as he happily exclaimed, "Yes." "Well where on this planet were you born?" "NewYork." It was clear that I was not going to get any information about his ethnicity. Maybe he doesn't have any. Maybe he is simply Adel and nothing else. He clearly defies categorization. I returned to the store today, mostly because I wanted to see Adel again. I bet lots of people go into that store to have these magical encounters with him. He did not disappoint. If his state of consciousness was altered yesterday, it was altered in exactly the same way today. I'm pretty sure blood tests would show him clean. He's just one of the most delightfully odd guys I have ever met. I love him!

I've also seen a lot of reviews raving about their Fried Chicken Wings, so that's definitely what I'll be trying next time.
