Mardi Gras, the pre-Lent celebration of extravagance and excess, is next Tuesday, March 1. Even if a trip to New Orleans isn’t in the cards for you, you can still celebrate in style with our list of places to get king cake, beignets, crawfish boils, and other food and drink specials from local businesses like Delta Cafe and NOLA Doughnuts. Laissez les bon temps rouler (let the good times roll)! For more ideas, check out our food and drink guide.
