You rang?
Hansen's owns your face. Acceptable subs in a pinch are Pandora's on Carrollton, The Green House (next to Brother Martin), and Rodney's in the east. I'd say Plum St. Snowballs but if you're that far upriver already, just make the half-mile or so trek to Tchoupitoulas & Bordeaux.
I went Wednesday, and in a rare turn of events there was no line. I wound up ordering the $5.50 size strawberry/grape with crushed pineapples (on the suggestion of a friend, I usually don't do toppings but this was good), staying around reading newspaper clippings and talking with Ashley & Co. The one in the picture is bubblegum/ice cream, which is equally amazing. Rarely do I order the same flavor/combination twice.
No, I'm not on their payroll. I just don't want people to waste time on second-rate snowballs.
