If you’re searching for a new place to get a haircut, work out, eat or shop, you might find the object of your quest on Freret Street.

Freret boasts new shops, restaurants and bars, all located between Jefferson and Napoleon Avenues. With new stores and the street’s accessibility factored in, it’s no surprise to discover Freret’s popularity with Loyola students.

A major lure of the new Freret is good eats. Dat Dog is an eatery students frequent because of the unique hot dogs offered, like Louisiana smoked sausage, alligator sausage and crawfish sausage.

Not only are the hot dogs different, but Dat Dog also offers customers an array of condiments including guacamole, wasabi, sauerkraut, homemade chili and andouille sauce.

But the hot dogs aren’t the only thing bringing customers in the door.

“My favorite at Dat Dog is their chili fries. They are to die for,” said Kaila Sims-Austin, mass communication junior.

Sims-Austin added that the hot dogs from Dat Dog are unlike any other she has had before.

Students have other culinary options on Freret Street besides hot dogs, such as grabbing a succulent burger at the street’s new burger joint, The Company Burger.

The Company Burger offers a classic American burger, a lamb burger and a turkey burger. Along with burgers, the menu features sides such as sweet potato fries, onion rings and pickle chips.

If you’re on the lookout for a different place to have drinks, you don’t have far to go.
