We love the vegetarian friendly Bánh mì... or totally loaded tater tots. I love the in-house murals and frozen Irish coffee. Eating at the bar ensures listening to Frenchmen Street's Bamboulas club and excellent people watching. They also have on tap Big Easy Bucha (kambucha) infused with vodka. It's a new business partnership, unique to 13 and Molly's at the Market.
