For those with a little extra dough in their pockets this semester, Magazine Street’s District Donuts Sliders Brew is worth a visit. A peek inside reveals a brightly lit space filled with friendly, bustling workers. Front row seats are available at the bar to watch the chefs work and nearby tables are perfect for grabbing a bite to eat with friends.

The name may lack originality, but the same can’t be said about its menu. This new addition to the Crescent City offers a new variety of strange but delicious treats seven days a week. Chocolate Blackout, King Cake Kolcahes, Maple Sriracha and Vietnamese Iced Coffee are a small sample of the rotating selection of original donuts whose first taste will leave customers with glazed eyes. Each donut costs approximately $1.75.  

Among the restaurant’s notable sliders are the Croque Monsieur, a grilled donut with Nueske ham, and gruyere; the Fried Chicken Slider, complete with coleslaw, pickled onions, a vinaigrette sauce and jalapeno peppers; and the 5-Spice Duck Slider. Sliders, which average $4.00, are made to order.

Chemistry may deem alcohol a solution, but the brew and beverage section of the menu boasts a different solution entirely. Traditional flavors of coffee, milk, tea and other beverages are available to wash down spicier items.

Those who find themselves wandering the Tchoupitoulas

Street Walmart’s cookie cutter shelves awaiting the Tulane shuttle’s incredibly slow but valiant return may find solace in this local donut shop. After all, it’s less than a mile away. For the more ambitious sort, a four-and-a-half mile bike ride from campus will put you right on District Donut’s doorstep.
