I ate the most delicious ice cream I have ever eaten in my life at Angelo Brocato's ice cream parlour in Mid-City.
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.
I tried blood orange, praline, hazlenut, chocolate and chestnut - completely incomparable!
This place is legendary. It's going to be a few months before the place is up and running again though post Katrina.
Angelo Brocato's has reopened and is just as good as it's pre-Katrina days. This was sadly missed by many in New Orleans after the storm, and it was doubtful if the family would reopen the business. They are indeed back to rave reviews. May I also suggest if you are in the city The Creole Creamery on Prytania Street in uptown New Orleans. They have an ever-changing menu of ice cream flavors, and they are a local favorite.
