If you haven’t noticed, ice cream sandwiches are on the rise and it’s a trend that’s starting to take over the old fashioned ice cream shop model.  Moojo is a new Austin-based, gourmet ice cream sandwich store, serving fresh, all-natural ingredients.  Every sandwich is made with a scoop of all natural McConnell’s Fine Ice Cream and smashed between two warm, freshly baked housemade cookies.

 

Moojo allows customers to custom-build their own ice cream sandwich from a selection of 12 different cookies, 16 flavors of ice cream and bevy of toppings. You can also select from the store’s custom designed Moojo Favorites.  Health nuts and veg-heads can rejoice as Moojo also offers vegan and gluten free options — so everyone can experience the moment when flavorful ice cream melts into a warm cookie.

 

What’s the Big Deal?

The shop is perfectly suited for the buzzing campus area, fitting right in to Austin’s growing food culture. Initially we weren’t too thrilled with the location because parking near campus is never very fun, but fortunately there is 30 minutes free parking at the San Antonio parking garage on 2420 San Antonio Street.  The interior of the store is adorable and modern with plenty of seating, along with a few old fashioned swings hanging from the ceiling along the wall at a few of the tables.

 

The sweet flavors of every ice cream selection is superb as it blends well with the warm freshly baked cookies prepared through out the day. You’ll be hard pressed to find a better ice cream sandwich anywhere else in town. Leave your calorie counting at the door, Moojo is meant for indulgence, so enjoy yourself!

Caesars Entertainment Unveils Stunning Transformation with the Grand Opening of Caesars New Orleans

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
