Double order of Beignets (powdered donuts), Cafe au Lait, Chicory coffee, and hot chocolate. |
TIPS: Make sure that you are in the correct line. There are two lines - one is for the take-out window and the other is to be seated. Most times the staff will try to get the take-out line to enter from the back of the shaded outside area. The seating line is to the front of the building, off of Decatur. The outside patio may be closed in the morning until there are enough people lined up to warrant all of the extra seating and staff. If you see an open table, take it. No one is going to seat you, but someone will be around to clean the table of the coffee cups and powdered sugar. Then you can make your own mess.
We walked past Jackson Square. The square is surrounded by a beautiful iron fence, and ornate gates on each side. The outer perimeter of the fence often holds artwork from local artists and the open plaza holds fortune tellers and tarot card readers. And, as always, musicians selling CDs, entertaining, and adding to the overall ambiance of the French Quarter.
