Mardi Gras, the pre-Lent celebration of extravagance and excess, is next Tuesday, February 16. Though boisterous parties and jubilant crowds of people parading through the streets certainly aren't feasible right now, there are plenty of safe alternatives. We've rounded up a list of places to get king cake, crawfish boils, and other food and drink specials from local businesses like Addo Like List , Bakery Nouveau, and Where Ya At Matt Like List below, as well as a couple of virtual events, like a celebrity-packed celebration streaming live from New Orleans Past Event Like List . Laissez les bon temps rouler (let the good times roll)!
