TRIP TO NEW ORLEANS

BEIGNETS IN FRENCH QUARTER ALLEY, MIDTOWN CREPERIE & CAFE

New Orleans’s lively French Quarter is the inspiration for Midtown Crêperie, where Matthew & Melissa Grizzle were looking to bring the same sparkle to the Miracle Mile.  Midtown could just as easily be Café Du Monde (of famous New Orleans notoriety), and they have the sugar dusted, puffed doughnut beignets to prove it.  Take your beignets with Gharardelli caramel or chocolate sauce to the breezeway next to the shop.  With twinkling lights in the trees, café seating, and a mural of New Orleans sidewalks, you might as well be sitting on Bourbon Street in Louisiana.
