I read about District Donuts from a New Orleans guide and then discovered I was only about a five minute walk from the location while I was in the Garden District! The Donut District was very unassuming from the outside. But inside it was such a cool, funky, and vibey little spot. It’s the first time I’ve been to a donut shop that was also a bar!

There is a section of New Orleans that is definitely my favorite…the Garden District. I found myself returning time and time again to the Garden District. To get lost in the gothic romanticism.

So naturally my inquisitive self had to check…
