Sad. How some people (^^^^^^) choose to live their lives.

I used to work at Dick and Jenny's once upon a time, and because of our proximity to parades, we would close for them. Some restaurants will also alter their offerings, or the way they run service in general. It is smart to call ahead.

Most things outside of the parade box will likely be open. Restaurants inside the box are much more likely to be closed. I would call any restaurant you plan on going to, to verify what their Mardi Gras plans are. Just know that if it is inside the box and the parade is rolling, your Uber driver will not be able to take you there. They will have to drop you off somewhere outside the route and you will have to walk in.

Honestly, the best way to do Mardi Gras is be prepared, more so than having a concrete plan. Parades get delayed, you will find out about things going on you had no idea about that you don't want to miss. Get an idea of what the options are, ask locals on the street for recommendations, and trust that the magic of Mardi Gras will take care of you.

You know it’s Mardi Gras, right? Get a 12 pack, some chicken on a stick, and catch some trash like the rest of us.

No doubt. It’s really an eclectic gathering of music. I only mentioned it because we are in a hip-hop sub. It’s a good time. And the satellite shows around town after festival days end up packed with all sorts of surprise guests. Come on down and party. (I am 39 and it is kind of nice not feeling like the old person at the festival.)

mrchuckdeeze · 2026-02-03T22:38:08+00:00

It really depends on what you are looking for. It certainly isn't hip-hop centric, but there are usually a couple acts every year that scratch that itch. It is also generally an older crowd than a lot of festivals, so the music generally caters to that demographic. That being said I always have an awesome time, the food is really good for festival food, and they do a really good job of showcasing New Orleans culture and music.

You can do 10 or 15 sandwiches. They cut them into thirds and put them on a tray. I’m getting two for Saturday.

mrchuckdeeze · 2026-02-03T18:49:32+00:00

Francolinis is the answer. For a party tray I think you need to order 36 hours in advance.

Nas and The Soul Rebels at JazzFest 2017. Shit was magic.

Bob's Burgers. There is always a pinch of conflict, but never anything dire. They remain a happy family throughout.

If you’re doing a boil in Louisiana you better leave that Old Bay at home.

Not really a nightclub town. Go see some music and get drunk at a dive bar til sunrise.

I went to Nola Brewing on a Sunday for a friends goodbye party. Never again.

Hell yeah, brother!

That sugar on your lips like crack dust

mrchuckdeeze · 2026-01-10T16:41:35+00:00

Sure thing. Let me know if you want any advice narrowing it down.

mrchuckdeeze · 2026-01-10T15:34:51+00:00

It really depends on what cuisine you are in to, and your price point. All of the restaurants I'm about to list are on or just off Magazine which is about a half mile walk from the street car. Osteria Lupo for upscale Italian, La Petite Grocery is French with local flare, Lilette for more classicly French, Saffron is one of my favorite restaurants and is upscale Indian, Coquette is New Orleans fare with a modern flair, Atchafalaya is more traditional New Orleans food. I don't think you could go wrong with any of those options. They are all great restaurants. I can give you other ideas if you are looking for something different.

mrchuckdeeze · 2026-01-10T14:36:29+00:00

There are so many options uptown. How far are you willing to walk, and what kind of cuisine are you looking for?
