New Orleans Historic Beignet & Donut Tour
Magazine Street runs through the heart of the Garden District, and it is the ideal place to eat your way through New Orleans. The tour opens with the classic: traditional New Orleans-style beignets served warm under a generous drift of powdered sugar. From there you walk, passing colorful murals, historic architecture, and the independent businesses that give the neighborhood its personality. At the second stop, discover the sweeter side of modern New Orleans with inventive takes on the classic donut. Then, return to the beloved beignet, reimagined with seasonal fruit, jam, and toppings that change throughout the year. Between stops your guide fills in the history, food, culture, and people who shaped this part of the city, closing with oversized beignets at The Vintage.
