New Orleans' Cafe du Monde: A Taste of History
Rated • 1 review • travel • mentalmosaic.com
When you enjoy a cup of chicory-laced coffee and a plate of beignets at New Orleans’ famous Cafe du Monde, you’re ingesting a bit of history along with your sugar and caffeine.
Coffee played a big role in New Orleans’ history, and at one point in the 1800′s there were nearly 500 coffeehouses in the French Quarter. Cafe du Monde is the sole survivor from that era, with a menu that is virtually unchanged since it first opened in 1862.
