Move over beignets, New Orleans is coming up donuts! The Underground Donut Tour, already in key cities around the U.S., is now in the Big Easy. New Orleans joins Chicago, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, New York City, Portland, Seattle, Boston and Nashville in bringing the best of what this addictive little pastry can offer to sweet-toothed guests from around the world.
Donut Tour: Delicious Donuts, Beautiful Beignets
“New Orleans is home to some of the best food, culture, nightlife, beignets, and donuts in the country. How could we not add it to our roster? Our team visited New Orleans just prior to COVID-19 and we were planning on opening this location in 2020, but those plans got postponed with everything going on. Thankfully, it looks like things are opening back up and we’re ready to welcome both locals and tourists alike to come and join us for a donut and beignet celebration!” said Jeff Woelker, founder of the Underground Donut Tour.
Walking between four of the best donut and beignet shops in New Orleans – the donut tour shares the history of each location, along with many local sights, sounds, and history of Magazine Street and the Garden District, but most importantly, taking the donut tour means lots of samples of the best donuts and beignets at each location. Some of the locations include District Donuts and The Vintage with two other secret locations you’ll only learn about on the tour.
Tours started on Friday, April 15th, and will now run year-round every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 9-11 and 10-12 with more days and times coming soon. Tickets are sold on a first come, first served basis.
Donut aficionados can buy tickets for $40 for adults and $25 for kids 10 and under at www.undergrounddonuttour.com.
