"Mondays are my only day off and my ritual is to pop into Lilly’s for lunch after a pedicure; in this walkable section of New Orleans I appreciate that Lilly’s is one of the few non-fusion Vietnamese restaurants. I always get Lilly’s Pho Combo (đặc biệt) full of beef flank, brisket, and meatballs, along with the crispy Saigon spicy rolls brimming with grilled pork and shrimp." - ByAna Castro, as told to Megan Braden-Perry
