One block from Mimis & Flora's in the Marigny / Bywater . They carry all kinds of Vegan treats including Almond, Soy, Rice and Hemp milk. Kombucha tea (good for hangovers, and just good for you), Blackstrap Molasses for $5 a bottle. Just add Blackstrap Molasses to your favorite veggie milk for some extra iron, potassium & calcium in case you're not getting enough veggies on your vacation.  I also give it to my puppy to supplement his vegan diet as well as Hemp oil. He loves it!  

It's Whole Foods, no explanation needed. It's a Vegan Disneyland . If you call ahead the bakery will even make you a Vegan cake , so if someone in your group is having a birthday or just needs cheering up- there you go . They also do delicious Vegan King Cakes during Carnival . Whole Foods on Magazine is currently offering free Vegan cooking classes, call for times.
