I just got back from my trip to New Orleans and I had a blast! Thanks for all the suggestions for places to go (and I followed some of them in the limited time I had to explore)!
I ended up going down to Jackson Square, the French Market, Café Du Monde for beignets and shopping for souvenirs for the grandkids. I even bought a little voodoo doll and told DH that I'm going to stick a pin in it when he annoys me.
We have one of the grandkids here today and I was showing him the voodoo doll and told him about sticking the pin in - when we tried it DH screamed and pretended to be hurt. It was too funny! |

How do you like the beignets?
Personally I think they are flavorless ..... but I'm weird that way.
NO is a great place to visit.
Glad you had fun. |

I actually have a slate that blew off during Katrina from Café Du Monde . . . with a picture of it on top of it. I visited NO both the year before and the year after Katrina during Mardi Gras.
As far as beignets go, they are the NO equivalent of funnel cakes in my opinion. I like them both, but I will admit the Café Du Monde's version is tastier.
Did you get red beans and rice? That always makes me think of NO.
