"When Compere Lapin and Bywater American Bistro chef Nina Compton is zipping around on her red scooter, she points it towards Small Mart, the bagel and vegan emporium, on Chartres Street (just a few blocks from Bywater American Bistro). “Larry and I like to cook simple meals at home like roasted chicken and vegetables from the garden,” says the chef. “But I can’t live without Small Mart, it really sets my day off right.” The couple also love Addis and Jewel of the South, “when we want to dine with our pinkies out,” says Compton." - Beth D’Addono
