Ive never been to New Orleans! I want to go this comming year for Mardi Gras! Im from L.A. and making plans to take my boyfriend out there for some fun on his birthday! Can someone tell me what are the best places to stay and best dining to eat at? :)

[@cpcoasternut]

going to this is on my list of things to do before i die

[@mystickybuns1]

@princessdana99 No way. Mardi Gras started in New Orleans and it's been a part of the tradition and heritage of the people for centuries. They have tried to simulate Mardi Gras all over the country, but I promise you that it doesn't even compare. It's a HUGE deal down here.

[@princessdana99]

Mardi Gras is the best. But the parades are better in Tampa. :)

[@ranelproductions]

There is also Mardi Gras in Austin, Texas.

@ChocolateLoverGirlxD the U.S. is not as old as Copenhagen, thats the beauty of marti gras it marks the begginings of a culture that encorporates the melding of the french spanish and black Amercan cultures

[@wookieecookies]

"TRADITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[@sportzmn]

Happy Fat Tuesday! :)

[@princessdana99]

@sweetnaughtylove Yes, I know. I'm in a krewe here in Tampa.

[@Sapherer]

Mardi Gras rules. If you've never been to a parade, BRING. GLOVES.

[@princessdana99]

@mystickybuns1 I'm telling you, for real! I've been to Mardi Gras many times, and it's fantastic. But the entire social scene of Tampa is based around pirates, krewes and parades. It's a huge deal in Tampa, too.

[@boscostix42]

@acealexl what do you think, its basically one big party, and there's alcohol everywhere, so yes, of course

[@TheCODplayer594]

@UltraNicator you say "these people" like we are so different... and yes most of us do, in fact celebrate lent.

[@TalentedLittleMe]

Also one thing about New Orleans you will always see beads in da trees.

[@unrealichbins516]
