North Roman Street Snowballs stand specializes in kid-friendly flavors and snacks

North Roman Street Snowballs is a relatively new stand in the Lower 9th Ward that specializes in classic flavors and kid-friendly snacks.

• The business is across the street from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Charter School and gets hopping when classes let out.

Our order: Pink lemonade and Granny Smith apple, one of the most popular flavor combos at the stand.

• The stand also has a large assortment of cold drinks and snacks like hot dogs, chips, pickles and cookies. The nachos made with Nacho Cheese Doritos are a bestseller.

Worth noting: Conrad Bailey grew up in the neighborhood and opened the stand two years ago after retiring from Crescent Crown distributing company.

• "I'm enjoying this. It's better than sitting at home and flipping the remote."

What's next: He's expanding the stand to add a kitchen so he can make burgers, poboys and other hot food.
