Although the largest and most famous Mardi Gras in America is celebrated in New Orleans, there’s a lot of evidence pointing to the idea that the first such event did, in fact, take place about 150 miles to the east and 15 years before the Crescent City was founded — in Mobile, Alabama, in 1703. Mardi Gras: Fat Tuesday, the final day of celebration before Lent. Parish: Louisiana’s version of a county. The Parish: Local shorthand for Chalmette (in St. Bernard Parish). Happy Mardi Gras, y'all! We're open everywhere except our French Quarter store today for all your last minute party and parade needs. Enjoy your Fat Tuesday, which we're so fortunate to celebrate in our neighborhoods- because everywhere else today is just a Tuesday. A place where the land, music and food are plaited together in a braid so tight it would be impossible to pull out a single strand without it all unraveling. A place where sharing and togetherness are paramount to not just Mardi Gras, but day-to-day life.

The French Quarter’s new Chinese-Thai hybrid restaurant is open for its first Mardi Gras day, opening at 11 a.m. for cocktails — including king cake shots — and and its full (vast) menu, staying open all the way through 10 p.m. The first tribe of Mardi Gras Indians who masked as we recognize the phenomenon today appears to be the Creole Wild West, which was active in the 6th Ward by the 1880s; in his book, Berry cites a memoir written by a New Orleanian named Elise Kirsch, who remembers “a band of men disguised as Indians shouting and screaming war whoops” and Mardi Gras Hours Effective Tuesday, February 28th CLOSING AT 12PM Rouses Market #25 (2900 Veterans Blvd, Metairie) Rouses Market #26 (4500 Tchoup, Nola) Rouses Market #30 (701 Royal st, Nola) Boudreaux was also a focus of the award-winning 2010 documentary film Bury the Hatchet, which followed three Mardi Gras Indian Big Chiefs as they worked to rebuild their lives and their culture in the years following Hurricane Katrina.
