They literally camp out the night before to hold down spots. There’s probably 500 times more people who line up for Zulu and Rex than go to the Marigny. To the original comment - I agree. NEW ORLEANS — Dirty, drunks, overrated. These are some of the words a 20-year-old LSU student used to describe Mardi Gras in New Orleans in a piece she wrote for LSU’s student newspaper, The The Philadelphia New Year's Day mummers parade is 200 years older than Mardi gras and two of the foundeing members of Mardi gras were Philadelphia mummers. Like they say it officially started with city financing in 1900 but our parade goes back to the 1640s. Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday, which takes place March 4, marks the party’s climax and the end of Carnival Season on the Gulf Coast. The conclusion falls the day before Ash Wednesday and is seen as a final day of feasting and revelry before the solemnity of Lent. The age-old Mardi Gras saying has never been truer: In New Orleans, half the people watch the parade, and the other half are in the parade.

Her base ice cream recipe is truly great, but the flavors have definitely gone down hill.
