                <description><![CDATA[I ate the most delicious ice cream I have ever eaten in my life at Angelo Brocato's ice cream parlour in Mid-City. <br><br>The experience of eating ice cream there lived up to every expectation I ever had of America. It was truly heavenly - I kept going back. <br><br>I tried blood orange, praline, hazlenut, chocolate and chestnut - completely incomparable! <br><br>This place is legendary. It's going to be a few months before the place is up and running again though post Katrina.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Big brand American chocolate is a pratical joke I am sure - positively revolting and doesn't even taste like chocolate. <br><br>There are some beautiful old-fashioned candy stores and praline kitchens however in New Orleans. <br><br>My favourite and I think the most popular with the locals, is Southern Candymakers. They have a website from which you can order their incredible pralines, chocolate alligators, tortues and what not, but walking into one of their shops where they are normally pouring caramel over some pecans induces instant drooling. <br><br>There are branches of Southern Candymakers sprinkled throughout the French Quarter.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Head to Mimi's in the Marigny for the most delicious but really cheap tapas, voodoo spell candles and good music. In fact, it is the perfect bar.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Eat Po-Boys. These are foot-long french bread sandwiches, stuffed with fried catfish/crawfish/oysters but also roast beef, sausage and burgers and they come dressed with lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo etc. <br><br>There's some debate as to where the best Po-Boys are to be had, I'd ask around. If still in doubt at the counter, go with the crowd, what's going is probably good. <br><br>Everybody seems to be into food in New Orleans and even the places that would be crappy anywhere else are pretty good.]]></description>
