Midnight at the Cafe Du Monde by Diane Millsap

  On our first visit to New Orleans, we were surprised to find that this unique coffee stand is open at midnight.
  Hot coffee and "Beignets" (French-style donuts drenched in powdered sugar) were being served. What a pleasant surprise!
  Later the following day, we found out that this famous coffee stand has been in operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week since 1862...only closing for Christmas day. It served rescue workers in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
  You can find Café Du Monde in the French Market at the edge of the French Quarter.
