Stein's Market and Deli
2207 Magazine St., New Orleans, LA 70130 | (504) 527-0771

When I need a quick, affordable and satisfying lunch Stein’s is my go-to. I haven’t had a sandwich yet that I didn’t love. Pair it with Utz Honey BBQ chips and a Coke and I’m one happy camper.

Taqueria Corona - Magazine St.
5932 Magazine St., New Orleans, LA 70115 | (504) 897-3974

I miss the Taqueria on Fulton Street from yesteryear, but the Magazine location is still a family tradition. The guac is the best and it’s a nice bonding experience to “split a numero tres” while catching up on the week’s events.

The Milk Bar

710 S Carrollton Ave., New Orleans, LA 70118 | (504) 309-3310

Their sandwiches are awesome, and the milkshakes are amazing. Something that always makes the whole family happy.
