The cafe life in New Orleans
Cafe Du Monde sits on the edge of the French Quarter in New Orleans. It is well-known for its chicory coffee and beignets. I am not a coffee drinker but I can vouch for the beignets. They are covered in powdered sugar and taste awesome. Late one night I was there with a bunch of work buddies and we devoured a plate of them. As I leaned in close to the plate to take my last bite, my big friend across the table blew with all his might at the huge pile of powdered sugar, which landed on me and covered my face and hair. I looked like Jack Frost or something. It was funny - at least now I think so. Anyways, if you get to New Orleans, make the time to stop in here and try the beignets. Just don't share the plate with a jokester.
