If you ever visit New Orleans and want to have café au lait and beignets, as French people do, you should go to Café du Monde. According to Yong Seok, it is one of the tourist attractions, also locals love. Since we were lucky enough to have a local, we went to City Park one, not French Quarter one. 

I am not a latte girl. For me, their café au lait was better than many lattes I have in fancy coffee shops. When we were having our beignets and coffees, I told Yong Seok, this is something time to time I would love to have as breakfast, like donuts and coffee. Plus, beignets are so similar to the Turkish dish we have with Jam and hazelnut chocolate spread "pişi." To be honest, almost every cuisine has their own dough fry desert/pastry, right? I also added it does not seem that crowded, so if you open your computer here no one would say anything. 

Yong Seok told me this is exactly what he was doing whenever he wanted to have beignets for breakfast. So, if you are passionate enough, even Café du Monde is a coffee shop to do research :)
