Hansen's Sno-Bliz Shop is quite an institution in New Orleans, and for good reason. You've never had shaved ice in your snow ball that's so fine. It's the best. Absolutely the best. I know that I wrote earlier about how much I loved Plum Street, and I'm not going back on my word here - I still adore Plum Street. Orchid Cream Vanilla will forever be my favorite flavor...but Hansen's ice is just amazing! At Plum Street earlier this season I heard the girl next to me saying to her friend, "I like the flavors here better, but Hansen's has the best ice." I'm in agreement 100% and I've decided that now I'll just have to split my time in between the two (maybe even eat twice as many snowballs?).
This last picture is the reason that you simply have to carry your camera with you wherever you go - after Hansen's the sun was just spilling it's golden, orange and blood red glow over the whole sky above Tchopitoulas, and it was stunning.
Absolutely! The most gorgeous sky, the best ice, the best flavors... Hansen's wins all around. Try the vanilla bean.
ReplyDeletethe vanilla bean is amazing, but the cardamom sent me out of this world!
ReplyDeleteHard to choose the best stand and thank goodness we can have them both!
ReplyDeletethat sunset shot is absolutely stunning!! What an eye you have! Keep at it, and by the way, the Jazzland pix are also truly amazing. It's such a joy to check this spot every few days or so.
