While new restaurants and trends abound, New Orleans expats home for the holidays are heading straight for their old favorites. Don't even try to get in their way.
It’s no surprise that New Orleanians form intense loyalties to their preferred snoballs. After all, some locals were pratically weaned on them. For those who branch out to new turf, however, the diversity of stands and their flavors is enormous and grows from year to year.
