Acme Oyster House in the New Orleans French Quarter, during a July 2022 trip.
Acme has been shucking oysters since 1910 and is best known for its chargrilled oysters, along with raw oysters on the half shell, po’ boys and gumbo. The photos include the restaurant’s famous neon sign and some of the dishes.
The original location on Iberville Street, just off Bourbon Street, almost always has a line, but it moves steadily.

Beignets at Café Beignet in the New Orleans French Quarter.
Beignets are New Orleans’ signature treat: square pillows of fried dough piled with powdered sugar, best eaten hot with a café au lait. The photo shows a fresh plate.
Café Beignet has several locations in the Quarter, including on Royal Street and Bourbon Street, and the lines are usually shorter than at the more famous Café du Monde.
