Café du Monde

Let's be honest…a cold day in New Orleans is not really that cold. If you are looking to sit outside go to the most famous place in town to grab a cup of joe, I mean, a cup of café au lait. Skip the line and massive amounts of tourists while you still can, and grab a beignet to wrap it all together.
