Have you ever Beignet-ed?

I woke up this morning and all I could think about were Beignets. Those square puffs of fried dough lavishly sprinkled with an abundance of powdered sugar make my heart melt and my mouth water! The beignet is pretty much a French-style doughnut - Made to order, these delectable beauties are served fresh from the fryer and piping hot every time. New Orleans is famous for having the best stateside, and if only it were a hop, skip and a jump away I would be there this morning feasting on three of my very own beignets with a latte on the side. Heaven!

{Has anyone found a really spectacular place in NYC that serves beignets? I mean REAL beignets. My quest continues!}
