In this episode I talk with Jessica Parker, a New Orleanian in spirit and a frequent visitor who also happens to be a vegan. Together, we dive into great places to eat vegan and vegetarian  in the Crescent City. Along the way, we discover plenty of places to eat where vegans, vegeterians and meat lovers can all break bread together.

Even if you are not a vegan, you'll find plenty of ideas for places to eat in New Orleans. The discussion was a lot of fun and I ended up with a great list of places to enjoy along with my friends who are vegan. This question has been coming up a lot recently, so I am excited to dve into this topic with Jessica.

Break out your paper and pen, or your favorite note taking app. We cover places to eat from the Bywater all the way to Riverbend. By the end of today's show, you'll know exactly where to eat vegan and vegeterian in New Orleans!

In this episode, I talk with Mark Rosenbaum, the owner and artist behind Rosetree Blown Glass. Mark and I discuss Algiers Point, New Orleans' 2nd oldest neighborhood. Mark is a resident of the Point and an active member of the community.

Never heard of Algiers Point?

It's located just across the Mississippi River from the French Quarter and is the only portion of New Orleans on the West Bank, or "Best Bank" as residents over there refer to it.

The best way to get to the Point is to take a quick ferry ride across the river. A $2 fee for pedestrians will transport you to a village-like setting only a short distance from the craziness of Bourbon Street.

Algiers Point is known as New Orleans' best kept secret for good reason - even many locals like myself haven't spent much time in the historic district. That's too bad because a morning or afternoon exploring can yield fabulous views of the New Orleans skyline and the river traffic, unexpected art like Mark's blown glass studio, neighborhood restaurants and bars, and 19th century architecture.

Learn about all this and more in today's show!
