5 Must Try New Orleans Brunch Spots

Everyone knows that New Orleans has the best food in the world. Also, everyone loves brunch. So brunch + New Orleans = heaven on a plate.

1. Brick and Spoon

If you are the type of person who enjoys mimosas and bloody marys, this is the place for you! Brick and Spoon goes beyond the standard mimosa. They offer flavors like pineapple, mango, and wild berry! They also take a bloody mary to the next level by allowing you to build your own bloody mary meal. You start by picking your vodka, then you go crazy adding just about anything on top including a wide range of veggies, herbs, meats and cheeses! Since Brick and Spoon is located on Magazine Street, it is the perfect place to start an adventurous New Orleans day.

2. Ralph's On The Park

If you want to feel fancy, Ralph's on the Park is the perfect high-end brunch spot. Normally, they only do brunch on Sunday – the best brunch day! It’s located in mid-city right across the street from our beautiful city park. It requires a reservation and is the perfect place if you’re looking to celebrate a special day. The menu is loaded with classic New Orleans dishes such as turtle soup, shrimp and grits, and fried smoked oysters. I highly recommend the southern schnitzel & eggs – it’s to die for!

3. The Ruby Slipper Café

Another restaurant that offers classic New Orleans dishes along with French toast and pancakes galore! I am positive that even the pickiest of eaters will find something they love on The Ruby Slipper Café menu. New Orleans natives voted The Ruby Slipper the best breakfast spot in 2016 and best brunch spot in 2015 – and for good reason!

4. Willa Jean

One word – cookies! That’s right! Willa Jean offers one of a kind brunch options (such as smoked salmon croissant and crispy duck dirty rice), classic New Orleans favorites (such as fried oyster benedict and gulf shrimp étouffée), and quite possibly the best chocolate chip cookie I’ve had in my entire life. Oh, and did I mention the frosé?? If you haven’t tried Willa Jean yet, move it to the top of your list!

5. Blue Line Sandwich Company

This has turned into my go to brunch spot this year. It is quick service, casual, reasonably priced, and has incredible food! My personal favorite is the breakfast burrito. It is not on the official menu, but it is usually offered as a special item. When it is offered, I can’t pass it up. Also, the duck-duck-goose waffle is top notch! Is your mouth watering yet?

These are just a few of so many amazing brunch spots in New Orleans. The restaurants that I mentioned above are some of my personal favorites. I hope you give them a try if you haven’t already. I promise they won’t let you down!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
