I went to New Orleans as well. (Couldn't get a decent cup of tea anywhere.)
Maybe you should have tried a Mint Julep or something, you know when in Rome do as the Romans do.
A cafe au lait at Cafe de Monde.

Never been there. I'd probably want some food to do with crawfish, which I've never tasted.

@revelette2,
They did a rum based drink called a hurricane, apparently it's World famous. It was alright though, I got a souvenir glass with my drink but I don't have it any more.
I had to google that. Cocktails are really big there, but with cocktails you can get away with all manner of short cuts. For a lot of people if it tastes like a juicy soft drink but gets you pissed that's good enough.

This might be talked of elsewhere, if it is, please leave a link, but this is just horrible.
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) -- A heavily armed man and woman dressed for battle opened fire on a holiday banquet for his co-workers, killing 14 people and seriously wounding more than a dozen others in a precision assault, authorities said. Hours later, they died in a shootout with police.
Authorities were trying to determine a motive, which could include workplace violence or terrorism.
Wednesday's shooting happened at a social services center for the disabled where the suspect's colleagues with the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health were renting space for a celebration. It was the nation's deadliest mass shooting since the attack at a school in Newtown, Connecticut, three years ago that left 26 children and adults dead.
