Things to do in New Orleans

Things to Do in New Orleans in January

Grab beignets and coffee

Grab beignets and coffee
There are certain foods that you shouldn't leave New Orleans without trying, and the beignet is one of them. Best described as a deep-fried doughnut (without the hole), loaded with powdered sugar, and paired perfectly with coffee, this sweet treat dates back to the 18th century; the French-Creole colonists introduced them! Visit Cafe Du Monde in the French Quarter, a 24-hour beignet shop founded in 1862 that doubles as a historical landmark. Although Cafe Du Monde is the most iconic place to grab beignets and coffee, there are many other cafes throughout the city to get your fix!

Go on a food tour

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, going on a food tour is the perfect way to get a taste of the staples!
