Where to Enjoy Late Nights in New Orleans

Cafe du Monde
It's a signature taste of the city: beignets and a steaming, hot cup of chicory coffee. Your trip to NOLA simply would not be complete without it. The iconic Cafe du Monde is open 24/7, so you can satisfy your sweet tooth any time of day — and, most importantly, night.
Frenchmen Street
This local hub for live music is the place to be on any night, but on the weekends, the fun runs until 2 AM or even later. Walk down the street and pop into any jazz club to catch the night's acts and buy a drink. If you're not feeling it, you can always keep exploring the area until you find just the right sound. Feeling hungry? Try the eccentric and colorful Dat Dog, open until 3 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. Famous for their signature hot dogs, they also offer a variety of affordable, great late-night eats including hamburgers, beer battered cod, and even vegan and vegetarian options.

Camellia Grille
Chicken and waffles, chili fries and grilled cheese sandwiches — all the late-night comfort food cravings in one place. This historic gem has been around since 1946 and when you walk in the door, you feel the nostalgia. Right in the heart of the Garden District, this classic diner stays open until midnight every night of the week, except Fridays and Saturdays, where the burgers keep grillin' until 2 AM. Look for the neon sign and the white columns — you can't miss it.
Saint Lawrence
Nestled unassumingly amidst French Quarter souvenir shops, ice cream parlors, saloons and tiki bars, Saint Lawrence takes its rightful place on N. Peters Street with a view of the Riverboat in its port across the way. Open from 11 AM until 2 AM, seven days a week, this gastropub offers a cozy respite on the outskirts of the Quarter with amazing eats, over 70 rotating beers, craft cocktails and fresh juice daiquiris.

Crêpes à la Cart
You'll find yourself the perfect little treat here, right on the edge of Tulane's campus in Uptown. Choose from breakfast crepes, ice cream crepes, vegetable crepes, build-your-own sweet crepes... it's nearly impossible to choose. Modeled after a Parisian street-side crêpe cart, this unique little crêperie has been serving the New Orleans area since 2004. Listed as open to "midnight or later", it's best to stop by when you've got a hankering for one of these on a late night out.
