Cafe Du Monde

Just as Mardi Gras is synonymous with New Orleans, so are Beignets from Cafe Du Monde.  In case you haven't heard of them, they are deep fried French doughnuts covered with lots of powdered sugar.




Cafe Du Monde is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and only closes on Christmas Day.  It is best to get there early as you often see lines.  They also serve chicory coffee if you happen to like chicory.  I really don't care what kind of coffee because when you have an order of 3 beignets, it doesn't matter what you drink.....you just need something to chase down these light delightful snacks. Just make sure you have lots of napkins and check you face on a mirror before you leave as you are guaranteed to have powdered sugar all over your nose and mouth.
