Boudreaux’s Seafood has opened a traditional New Orleans-style shaved ice shop at 2111 Lumpkin Rd. next to Samaha Insurance Agency.
“Many wonder what makes a New Orleans-style snowball? Yes, a great flavor, but really it is all about the ice. When you touch our ice with a spoon, it will easily turn into a soft puddle of smooth ice. Please come check us out and beat the heat,” read a Facebook post from Boudreaux’s.
The hours are 2 to 7 p.m. Sunday, noon to 8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday and noon to 9 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
