Only tourists wait in the line... The line is just for To Go orders so if you see an empty table it is whoever grabs that table first and then you get table service! I am not the biggest fan of beignets period but if I get dragged off to eat them with tourists I might eat ONE minus the powdered sugar. I have been eating at Cafe du Monde since I was a tiny child and as a child arguing with the servers to give me plain black coffee with no milk as they would insist the coffee was too strong for a young lad like me and how their coffee was so much stronger but I always insisted and got it black the way I ALWAYS drank it for as long as I can recall after I explained I was a regular and knew exactly what I liked :)

The Carousel Bar, where we grab some pre dinner cocktails and then take our to-go cups for a lovely walk down Royal. The Court of Two Sisters for jazz brunch...the food is incredible. Of course you have to hit Frenchmen Street and especially the Spotted Cat for jazz. Faulkner House books... not food related but a cozy book store on Pirate Alley with a great selection. And no trip to New Orleans would be complete without a visit to Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop for a voodoo. I could go on and on about this magical city.

As a NOLA native I roll my eyes every time I see Cafe Du Monde getting hyped up by tourist. To anyone who hasn't tried the beignets just go to your local state fair and get a funnel cake, they taste the same. Fried dough with powdered sugar, big woop. I would recommend a soft shell crab po'boy, thin fried catfish, boiled crawfish, char broiled oysters. Now you talking.

@TheJourneyest2016

Brian Martin hey brian thanks for the suggestions! While I am usually not keen on going to every major tourist destination I will defend cafe du monde. Any business that can stay open as long as it has only providing a few options tells you something. They are as vital and a part of New Orleans as any of those other suggestions you gave. I appreciate your insight and I know cafe du monde is just a fried funnel cake in essence but to sit at a place that has been there for as long as it has and stood through wars, presidents, and natural disasters and it still serves thousands of people a day should be something to be marveled at and commended!
