Vietnamese Cuisine in New Orleans | WYES

A great documentary on the Vietnamese in New Orleans. A well done overview of the history and the recent changes since 2005. The Viet community truly led the recovery of the entire city by showing focused entrepreneurial intent and deep community values.

New places for locals and visitors alike

Danny and Jerry of Cafe Amelie fame have added another outlet at which to sell their food; a little storefront at the next corner of Royal and Dumaine. A more informal place to drop in with little tables, lovely ambience, sandwiches, drinks AND some local farm goods like the Mauthe’s fresh milk in glass bottles!
