1. We only do this for special occassions, but I love a "girls day" brunch with my family at Commander's Palace. The jazz brunch is sensational.

2. Whenever I'm in NOLA, I have to go to Angelo Brocato's for a cup of amaretto ice cream/gelato. Not sure which one it is, but it's delightful. I also usually buy a bag of cucidati (fig filled cookies).

3. NOLA also has the best greek/middle east food at a restaurant called Lebanons. I eat way too much pita bread when I go there. :)

I just realized my three favorite things are food related. Oops!
