The original spot for beignets. Sit outside and enjoy beignets and hot coffee. I'm sure there will be some sort of amazing musician playing music in the street. So lovely!
Great music! Right on Frenchmen street. You can mosey from bar to bar and find live music everywhere.
Gorgeous street in NOLA. Hop on the trolley and enjoy the views!
