The morning starts under a fog of powdered sugar. You step off the curb at Café du Monde with a cup of chicory coffee steaming in one hand and a beignet in the other; the first bite sends sugar into the air like confetti. Spanish moss drips from live oaks overhead, and the city feels like a place that remembers every song it has ever heard.
