The Wynwood Yard is an Excellent Detour

I set aside a full day to spend at Wynwood Walls. Little did I know that I would end up loitering The Wynwood Yard for more than half the day. What is the Yard you ask?

Wynwood Yard is outdoor bliss for food, culture and drink enthusiasts like myself. There is an eatery, bar, food trucks, garden, and open space to sit and dream. Every single person I came into contact with was friendly and went out of their way to make sure I was satisfied.

Yoga anyone?

First order of business on the Yard train was to satiate my appetite with a happy bowl at Della Test Kitchen. My mind and body were content after devouring the Forbidden Bowl.

Tempeh, veggies, black coconut rice, almonds & raw roots

You will indeed be happy!

After a brief intermission at Wynwood Walls, I returned to stalk this amazing space. My taste buds were yearning for some local beer, so I bellied up to the bar to wet my whistle. I'm a stickler about trying local beers when I travel, and this Miami Weiss by MIA Beer Co. was so good I had to have a double.

Thanks, I'll have another

After imbibing, the stomach was beckoning to be fed again. This time, I chose to dine at the Lone Wolf Food Truck and was excited for the vegan options on the menu.

The Wynwood Yard offers numerous events, so I highly recommend checking their calendar frequently whether you are a local or visitor. I have already started fantasizing about my next visit.

A Slice of Tranquility at Good Karma Prasad Cafe

My favorite meal in New Orleans was consumed at the Good Karma Prasad Cafe inside Swan River Yoga. Check your schedule at the door, and prepare to relax and take in all its splendor.

I couldn’t get enough of the Malaysian Curry Bowl consisting of veggies, soy protein, and brown rice stewed in a lemongrass and ginger coconut sauce. I accompanied this delectable bowl with an Enlightened fresh juice.  

The Good Karma Prasad Cafe will sustain you with mouthwatering food in a tranquil setting that will make you so at peace you won’t want to leave.

On my return visit to NOLA, I plan to attend one of many drop-in yoga classes and you should do the same. Until then, I will be dreaming about my next meal....
