Cafe du Monde always reminds me of friends and late nights from the list Eating Near The French Quarter

Cafe du Monde always reminds me of friends and late nights. I live in New Orleans so I don't go that often anymore but it possibly the best late night spot that anyone has ever created. I remember the best time I had was when I went with one of my professors and friends. I haven't had a good moment like that since then but Cafe du Monde is the perfect backdrop to a special moment.
