In New Orleans, the Cafe du Monde continues to serve several hundred people cafe au lait (real, live coffee with scalded milk) and/or beignets (square, delicious fresh donuts with powdered sugar-- no calories, of course!) 24 hours a day (with a slight interruption due to an intruder named Katrina). It has done so for about150 years! What is Starbucks???????? And who cares!!??! Joe B in NOLA PS-- I was employed at Cafe du Mode for a short period in the mid 1970s. After 10 hours on the job, one goes home to shower off the accumulated effects of spray-net-like powdered sugar-sprinkling. It's like being encased in a sugar-plum-spiderweb. There are jobs available there for many of the 12,000---- weekly! It is quite a trot. Joe
