Happy Tuesday Everybody!
You can get your day started off right with a trip to the Farmer's Market and stock up on your holiday menu items too!!! Visit the Crescent City's Farmer's Market at University Square (200 Broadway) from 9:00 to 1:00 pm and pick up some fresh seafood, veggies and you can even grab some lunch! December brings the fabulous food truck Geaux Plates to the Tuesday market. They'll be set-up right along side where the GPS tent usually is (making room for additional seating under the tent). Stop by and enjoy a Bayou or Veggie Banh Mi, one of their delicious homemade soups or their Barq's Root Beer Braised Cochon de Lait......yummy!!
