I agree with Cleo, the Cafe Du Monde is an absolute must for me when I'm there, gotta have my beignets! I'm going to have to try the shrimp soup, but I don't like champagne. Do you think Chef Paul will send me a nasty email if I make it without ;-)!

Just before school began one year, she invited a batch of us pals to stay with her for a few days, and we did all the touristy stuff.
