New Orleans: Classic Treats Under $10

In honor of this week's Mardi Gras festivities in New Orleans, these are a few treats that every traveler should try at least once. Unfortunately, more than a year has passed since my last visit. Luckily, these classics should still be there on my next trip (whenever that may be).


A trio of beignets ($1.82) and cafe au lait ($1.82 for a small cup) from Cafe du Monde

Muffuletta ($6.95 for a half) from Central Grocery
