"New Orleans used to be filled with corner stores—mom and pop shops that offer groceries, hot plates, and neighborhood gossip—and those that remain are fiercely loved. Every day, neighbors gather on the benches outside Frady’s One Stop Corner Store to eat "grumpy old man” breakfast plates (two eggs, home fries, bacon, and toast) and shoot the shit. Order a shrimp po’boy at the register (plastered with prayer cards and a picture of the Evil Queen fromSnow White), locate a bag of Zapp’s Voodoo Chips, then head out to the sidewalk tables or down to the river to eat." - ByAliza Abarbanel
