Cultural traditions are not the only similarities New Orleans has with the Caribbean Islands: there’s also an often too-accurate weather resemblance, one that demands for a daily refreshment if you wish to keep the motors running. Thankfully, the city’s tropical temperatures have inspired an exceptional variety of ice cream parlors to help both visiting tourists and locals cool off. Here is our guide to the best places in NOLA to indulge in frozen delight.
