The Bakeries. The French Quarters. The Riverwalk and plazas. The Garden District.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I used to think that New Orleans was for the party people, perhaps not appropriate for little children. I was wrong. Yes, it\u2019s a happening place. But it\u2019s for everybody. A unique charm and the sweet aroma of pastries roams the flower-studded streets. We stayed at Dauphin Island, Alabama, which enjoys proximity to this city–about two hours away. Owing to it my son\u2019s eleventh birthday that day, we wanted New Orleans to be grand. It delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. The Bakeries<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every corner seems to have one: French bakery shops and cafes. These shops go well with music, art, and books of New Orleans. Our first stop was\u00a0Bittersweet Confections<\/strong>. With brilliant customer service, a small but bigger-than-a-pastry cake, available candles at the shop, we weaved the birthday spirits. They provided the silverware and a lighter as we enjoyed our second warm breakfast of the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, experience this city through your taste buds. Sweetness! My son opened his gifts and made a wish before cutting the cake. Birthday at a bakery\u2014bravo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
