New Orleans or bust!

Take a ride on the trolley. Be sure to note Octavia Street right next to Henry Clay. In LaFayette Square you'll also want to notice the Sam Houston marker.

Street car ;-)


Also, if I had not had my 17 year old with me, I would've loved to have visited Hookah Cafe on Frenchman St. It sounded very interesting.

And I know this could be blasphemous but I've decided that the beignets at Cafe Beignet are better than the ones at Cafe du Monde. But of course, the ambiance cannot be matched with that of Cafe du Monde's. Especially at 2am! Tough call - - ambiance vs. quality.

agreed. cafe beignet is where i go in the mornings. it's quiet and one can read in there without being pushed out the door. cafe du monde can't be beat late nite though. if i'm leaving NOLA after a show, i go there for two orders of beignets and au lait, one for the ride to the state line, one for the next morning to continie the drive.

We've enjoyed Coop's on Decatur

Acme Oyster House is, of course good, epsecially sitting at the bar watching the guys shuck them, but we have been told to try Felix's across the street.

Cafe Fleur-de-Lis is good for breakfast

Also, I ate some of the best French toast for breakfast at the Monteleone. It was to die for. Who knew something so simple could be so perfectly divine.

Forgot about a breakfast place. On Charter, sw corner, across fromm the Omni. If you have a sweet tooth, try the Praline French Toast. It's one sugar high for the day. And, the prices there are reasonable. Mary, our waitress, is really nice. Have fun.
