New Orleans, Louisiana Port Q&A

There’s the original Cafe’ du Monde in the French Quarter on Decatur St. If you go there, you’ll be at ground zero for the great things New Orleans is most known for. You’ll likely hear the street music and see horse drawn carriages and street performers from there. The historic St. Louis Cathedral will be within your line of sight as well. If you go to a mall, you’ll not experience the ambiance that New Orleans has to offer.

For Beignets, it has to be Cafe Du Monde. The original location is in the French Quarter on Dacatur Street. However, there is another location in the Riverwalk shops that is located right at the Port! You can sip coffee and enjoy your beignets while staring out the windows at your ship.

To many things to list. Cafe de Monde is great. Bourbon street is an adventure. Restaurants, to many to list. My go tos are Ruby Slipper for breakfast, Vampire Cafe for lunch, and Redfish for dinner. But honestly, anywhere in the French quarter is good.

Haydel's Bake Shop has a very high reputation; but, it's not convenient to the port area

Publix is where I always get king cakes. They have 2 or 3 different flavors and a baby you put in.

You have to have a Gumbo. We had a food tour around NO town and Gumbo was on the tour, it’s great.
