You can get your day started off right with a trip to the Farmer's Market!!!  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!  St. James Cheese Company is fixing up some great food each Tuesday in July at the Market.....on the menu today: Chilled summer squash vichyssoise, heirloom tomato panzanella salad, and capicola, agrodolce onion & Pecorino sandwiches on ciabatta....yummy!!

Today the Omni Royal Orleans (621 St. Louis St.) is once again treating travelers to a summertime soirée celebrating National Ice Cream Day.  Guests are invited to a complimentary ice cream social - complete with a Design-Your-Own Sundae Bar, on from 4 to 6 p.m.  Through a partnership with Häagen-Dazs, the luxury hotel will serve rich, vanilla and chocolate flavored ice cream along with toppings such as brownie chunks, crumbled chocolate chip cookies, Butterfingers, Heath Bars, M&Ms, butterscotch, strawberry, caramel and chocolate fudge sauces, pecans, chocolate chips and cherries, as well as toppings cherished by locals.  Chef Rene Bajeux will add a unique local twist with the addition of praline, spicy pecans and king cake toppings.  Another yum!!
