Cafe Du Monde is one of the best tourist stops in New Orleans. However, the locals frequent this place just as much. They are known for their delicious beignets, which are square pieces of dough that are fried and then covered in powered sugar. They are served fresh and hot. You can get a great cup of coffee with your beignets too.
This is a "must do" when you visit New Orleans. When you leave, you can buy a box of the beignet mix to take home with you.
