Did you know…Louisiana is the only state in the union that does not have counties. Its political subdivisions are called parishes. Why? Louisiana was officially Roman Catholic under both France and Spain's rule. The boundaries dividing the territories generally coincided with church parishes. In 1807, the territorial legislature officially adopted the ecclesiastical term. Through each change in her history, Louisiana never deviated and the primary civil divisions have been officially known as parishes ever since.

I'm looking for a good place for breakfast in the French Quarter, other than Cafe' du Monde, Brennan's, and Cafe Beignet (already been there). Any suggestions? Thanks!
