A new tenant is coming to The Pizitz Food Hall this spring and, thanks to their popular food trucks, we already know all about them. Get ready to welcome Broad Street Peaux Boys brought to us by the owner of NOLA Ice. The concept will open in the former Spoon & Ladle space and bring a taste of the Big Easy to The Magic City.
The stall will combine Broad Street Peaux Boys and NOLA Ice under one roof so you can grab a po’boy and a shaved ice for dessert.
