| Since 1862, Café du Monde has been dispensing steaming mugs of café au lait and beignets, New Orleans' distinctive, sugar-dusted fried crullers. Situated across from Jackson Square in an arched, partly enclosed space, it's a fascinating place to people-watch or celebrate a balmy day. The ideal time for stopping by is just before dawn, when seats are easy to come by and the French Quarter's frantic pace subsides. But it's also a good spot for ending a night on the town in the wee hours. There is always music playing from somewhere nearby, mixed in with the sounds of steamboats roaring up the adjacent Mississippi River. This is quintessential New Orleans. |
