FRENCH QUARTER. Café du Monde is a pilgrimage for some and a true "N'Awlins" experience for others. A French Market landmark, the café is renowned for its beignets, which are fried dough covered with powdered sugar. Since opening in 1862, Café du Monde has been the spot locals and tourists flock to for savory chicory coffee, café au lait and light pastry desserts. All can be enjoyed while soaking in the foot traffic of Jackson Square while sitting at the café.

CBD. Mother's has been a New Orleans tradition since the 1940's and it is still creating happy customers today. If you are looking for a hearty breakfast or a "meat and three" for supper and don't mind standing in line, this cafeteria-style eatery is sure to please. And do not miss the po' boys – natives claim Mother's sells the definitive version of the popular sandwich. Also a winner: the New Orleans style, chicory-flavored coffee.

FRENCH QUARTER. If the muffuletta was the official sandwich of New Orleans, Central Grocery officially makes the best sandwiches in the city! For the uninitiated, a muffuletta is a loaf of bread layered with Italian meats and cheeses and crowned with a chopped olive mixture. Be warned that Central Grocery's sandwiches are huge – you might need to share with a friend. And if you want to sit down, get your sandwich to go – there is only a standing-room counter at the Grocery.

MARIGNY. Creole soul food is Praline's much-applauded specialty, and it's considered by many locals to be the best in the city. Originally a meal delivery service for working women who didn't have time to cook, the business now invites people to enjoy its savory dishes in person. Popular items include jambalaya, fried chicken, and lima beans and rice.

BIG BRANCH. Ranked by "Traveler" magazine as one of America's top ten restaurants, La Provence absolutely justifies the 40-minute drive from New Orleans. Located across Lake Pontchartrain, it's affiliated with a country inn and features a Provencal atmosphere. The chef savors seclusion from New Orleans, and La Provence's idyllic spot only enhances its inherent charm. Meals frequently commence with a series of pâtés and languish well into the evening. Entrees take their inspiration from fine French and Creole cuisines, and service is well above par.
