We will be working hard during our time in New Orleans. We will also take some time to learn about the rich culture that makes the "Big Easy" so unique. One our stops will be the renowned Cafe Du Monde, famously known for their delicious beignets!!!
The location at the upper end of the French Market was established in 1862. For over a century it was one of two similar coffee and beignets places in the market. Due to Hurricane Katrina, the shop closed at midnight on August 27, 2005. Although it suffered only minor damage, it remained closed for nearly two months. Owners took advantage of the low traffic time afterwards to refurbish the eating areas and kitchens. The French Quarter location re-opened on October 19, 2005.
