Things to Do in New Orleans in January

Grab beignets and coffee

Grab beignets and coffee
There are certain foods you shouldn't leave New Orleans without sampling, and the beignet is at the top of the list. It is best described as a deep-fried, hole-less doughnut loaded with powdered sugar, paired perfectly with coffee. This sweet treat dates back to the 18th century and was introduced by the French-Creole colonists. Visit Café Du Monde in the French Quarter, a 24-hour beignet shop founded in 1862 that doubles as a historical landmark. Although Café Du Monde is the most iconic place to grab beignets and coffee, there are plenty of NOLA cafés to get your fix!

Go on a food tour

It's no secret that New Orleans is famous for its delicious food. With so many different flavors and "have-to-try" dishes, picking the right restaurants can get overwhelming. From gumbo to etouffee, and everything in between, embarking upon a New Orleans food tour is the perfect way to get a taste of the finest the Big Easy has to offer. Bon appetit.
