Drink a cup of cafe brulot, the Christmas concoction of dreams. Orange and lemon peel, dark coffee, cognac, brandy, cinnamon and cloves are involved in this traditional drink, which is served at classic establishments like Antoine's Arnaud's and Galatoire's.
So iconic it deserves its own listing, Galtoire's was founded in 1905 at its famous Bourbon Street address by Frenchman Jean Galatoire. Now in its fifth generation, this family restaurant represents New Orleans fine dining royalty and has served sentators and presidents.
