Café du Monde is a New Orleans institution. You simply can not say you did “The Big Easy” the right way without a trip here. Open 24/7, you’ll have plenty of opportunities during the bachelor party weekend to convince your crew to make repeat visits here-- and they will be glad you did! From whatever malady you suffer, the food here will provide the cure: overcoming the morning hangover, getting you through a lazy afternoon, or late night drunken ambling. Visit the Café for some good coffee and awesome beignets (little dumplings of fried gold; they’re like a puffy donut hole with copious amount of powdered sugar).

Be prepared to wait for your food at peak hours (which is most of the time), but you’ll enjoy unparalleled people-watching and a chance to convince some ladies in a relatively safe environment to party with your crew later on in the French Quarter. Just make sure they know you’re not French.
