Things To Do
Mardi Gras Parades
For those who haven't been to Mardi Gras yet, we've provided a link to some advice on how to view parades/what parades will look like! Here are some other tips that aren't listed or need to be stressed: - The best place to stand is somewhere with a bar about a block away - close enough to use their bathroom and refresh on drinks, but far enough back that it's not extremely crowded. Liam's personal favorite is Prytania Bar, but that requires an Uber to get to. - Don't pick beads off the ground. It's bad luck. - Download the Mardi Gras Parade Tracker app for live updates on the route and where the parade is at that time. - Share each other's location on Find My Friends Parade schedule: Thursday, Feb 12th: - 6:30 Krewe of Babylon - 7:00 Krewe of Chaos - 7:30 Krewe of Muses Friday, Feb 13th - WEDDING - 6:30 Knights of Hermes - 7:30 Le Krewe D'Etat - 8:00 Krewe of Morpheus Saturday, Feb 14th - 12:00 Krewe of Iris - 1:00 Krewe of Tucks - 5:00 Krewe of Endymion (Mid City)

The best fried chicken in NOLA!
Parkway Bakery & Tavern
Have a traditional PoBoy! Liam's choice: Surf 'n' Turf Agustina's choice: Shrimp
Creole Creamery
Agustina's favorite ice cream of all time: Earl Grey! (Address is for the Uptown location on the website)
Café Du Monde – City Park
While the original Cafe du Monde in the French Quarter is iconic, this one in City Park is less crowded, cleaner, fresher, and takes credit cards.
Bacchanal Fine Wine & Spirits
Pick out a wine, create your own charcuterie board, and listen to local live Jazz bands
Bar Tonique
One of Liam's favorite bars in the city
