Tue Feb 13 20:43:15 -0800 2007 2290530 19636 Tonto 1 2291361 It's the best. I haven't been back since Katrina, but this convenience store makes some great food to take back when you don't really want to go out for dinner. Their creamed spinach still brings a smile to my face. It's truly a place for the locals, but don't let that stop you! On the corner of Royal and Gov. Nicholls.

Thu Oct 29 14:59:31 -0700 2009 5140476 118263 JazzyB 3 5152020 I second the "dirty marte" comment. Too, too, gross. Even when I lived a block away it was a no-go. And, I am a broke college student who will eat anything. I prefer Quarter Master. Tue Nov 03 09:11:30 -0800 2009 5141284 278875 pinkbayou 3 5152133 interesting. im as comfortable in Parasol's as i am Commander's, and havent seen anything particularly unusual about VM. cramped, to be sure, but just seemed pretty much identical to Quarter Master, Frady's, or any other convenience store deli counter. Tue Nov 03 09:42:01 -0800 2009 5141284 143137 kibbles 4 5161523 In my opinion it's just dirtier and one is much more likely to get a stomachache eating their greasy poboys with "special" sauces. I don't know why I feel that Quarter Master is better. Just a better track record with it I guess.

It's my morning stop for the New York Times and sweet talk from the proprietors, and my late-night stop for ridiculous pork ribs, cheesy potatoes (the garlicky ones in ball shape are really good, too) and crisp-tender green beans. I only wish they had fried chicken with the bone in -- those little boneless strips hardly qualify as fried chicken, in my book. Thu Oct 29 15:00:13 -0700 2009 2290530 1120179 Demi Monde 2 5141665 the verti mart does make one of the best shrimp po-boys in the city. the shrimp are larger than what you would find at other places and there are enough of them that they fall out of the sandwich. verti mart is really a good old fashioned french quarter corner store! i love it. Thu Oct 29 17:49:41 -0700 2009 5141289 155305 mcegielski 1 5185502 I do. Their bread pudding is fantastic, as is the chicken cordon bleu which will do you for two meals. A Quarter staple, this place, that's for sure. Mon Nov 16 09:18:42 -0800 2009 2290530 66022 bronwen 1 5197152 Where I used to work - we would have Verti Mart delivered all the time for lunch. From the loaded baked potatoes that were almost the size of footballs to all the sandwiches and specials we thought it was great. I have not ordered anything from Verti Mart since I saw the inside of it and the area where the food was served/prepared. I miss it still - lol. Indeed sometimes ignorance is bliss!
