Best Coffee in New Orleans

Ms. Haiku

I'll be a stone's throw from the French Quarter. Where's the best coffee and cookies?

Go to Cafe Du Monde on Decatur. Get some cafe ole and some beignets. That's real New Orleans right there.



Actually a stones throw away from there right now.

I second that recommendation.

I can't say that Cafe duu Monde is the best, but when I think of a cup of coffee in NOLA, it's the first place that comes to mind.

Beignets are AWESOME!

I'll be there tomorrow returning Saturday. I plan on going to that one place you 3 agreed upon . . . but, maybe, I'll find out about a place you didn't know about, eh?

I'm on a quest!

There is no doubt that white people love coffee. Yes, it’s true that asians like iced coffee and people of all races enjoy it. But I promise you that the first person at your school to drink coffee was a white person. You could kind of tell they didn’t enjoy it, but they did it anyways until they liked it - like cigarettes.

White people all need Starbucks, Second Cup or Coffee Bean. They are also fond of saying “you do NOT want to see me before I get my morning coffee.” White guys will also call it anything but coffee: “rocket fuel,” “java,” “joe,” “black gold,” and so forth. It’s pretty garbage all around.

If you want to go for extra points - white people really love FAIR TRADE coffee, because paying the extra $2 means they are making a difference.

How about pizza? Would you recommend

Warehouse District Pizza

Is it within walking distance of the French Quarter?

#7 Diversity
January 19, 2008 by clander

White people love ethnic diversity, but only as it relates to restaurants.

Many white people from cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York will spend hours talking about how great it is that they can get Sushi and Tacos on the same street. But then they send their kids to private school with other rich white kids, and live in neighborhoods like Santa Monica or Pacific Palisades.

But it’s important to note that white people to do not like to be called out on this fact. If you run an ethnic restaurant you can be guaranteed repeat business and huge tips if you act like your white customers are adventurous and cultured for eating food that it isn’t sandwiches or pasta.

#21 Writer’s Workshops
January 23, 2008 by clander

It’s no secret. White people want to be writers. Why wouldn’t they? Work 10 hours a week from a country house in Maine or England. Get called a genius by other white people, and maybe get your book made into a film.

Every single white person harbors this dream. No matter what they tell you, all of them have at least one chapter of a novel stashed away somewhere.

Being a marginally crafty race, white people will often seek out every possible route to achieving this goal, and one of the most popular methods has been writers workshops.

These are expensive mini go-to-school type vacations. Where you talk with a published writer (often someone you haven’t heard of, but they have a book on Amazon) who will tell you how they became writers. If there is time, they will listen to you read your stuff and tell that you it’s good but it needs work on a) structure, b) characters, c) dialogue. Then they will collect their check and go back to their country house or studio apartment in New York.

Cafe Rose Nicaud is great cause it's about 3 blocks from where I work. PJ's and CC's are alright, but they are chains. Rue De La Course is close to where I live, but never been there.



Also, pizza? Hrm. My favorite is this place calle Slice on St. Charles avenue.


But screw pizza, go to Mother's and get a poboy or some jambalaya.
