Mardi Gras

The Sazerac is said to have been invented in New Orleans.  Try to find the bar that makes the best Sazerac.

I learned that Mardi Gras is a family event.  The parades don't go through the Bourbon street, in the French Quarter.  There step ladders are everywhere for kids to sit above the heads of the adults.  Kids get special treats from the floats.  There is alcohol on the floats however.
