New Orleans shouldn't get to be the only American city that heads into Lent with a bang. Though it's been Carnival season since Epiphany, Mardi Gras is the time to go all out before 40 days of repentance (or really, resuming your normal schedule of frivolity and sin). On March 8th the city will be full of bars and restaurants celebrating Fat Tuesday with drinks, music and Cajun food, with some celebrations heading into the weekend. And don't worry, you don't have to flash for drinks at these.
