Come to the Largest Mardi Gras Party in Town! This Thursday @ Jet Set Restaurant. 118 South 9th St. Reading For Info: 215-650-3587 --------------------- What To See, Hear And Taste At Mardi Gras 2011 In New Orleans There is so much to see, hear, taste and do at Mardi Gras because even though it is technically a one day event, anyone who has been can tell you it's a 2 week long celebration. Here you will read what you still have time to witness. New Orleans is truly an incredible place for doing, so please read on to know what matters this week. See There is a wide variety of adventures to stimulate your visual senses at Mardi Gras in New Orleans. One option is to go to Bourbon Street. Bourbon Street is a place where people of all ages go to let their inhibitions go--it is sort of a modern day red light district. What you should probably know, however, is that during the 4 days leading up to Mardi Gras, at night, Bourbon Street will have so many people on it that you will likely not be able to move around very well. For casual visitors who do not want to spend much time there, it is recommended that you go during the day, spend some time, and get out before things get too crazy! Hear It is no secret that music is huge in the city of New Orleans. Some of the greatest musicians ever, like Louis Armstrong and Louie Prima, had their start there. The influence of these early pioneers cannot be overstated, as it can be heard in the brass bands that still play throughout the city. One of these groups is the Rebirth Brass Band. The band has been around since 1983 and knows how to entertain any crowd they are put in front of. If you are a fan of Funk, Rock, Soul, Rap or Jazz music, it might be impossible for you to not be entertained at one of these shows. The sound of acoustic brass instruments blaring harmoniously sounds timeless; like a party that began a long time ago and has never stopped. You can find this band playing all over town a few days before Mardi Gras. Taste As always, life in New Orleans, and all of Louisiana, comes down to the most important thing: food. Seafood, butter, garlic, cayenne, vegetables and herbs come together to flavor anything you could ever imagine. While you are here, if you have limited funds, give up the extra cash allocated to souvenirs to eat priceless food. You can try fried rabbit livers at Cochon, the first cocktail ever made at the Sazerac bar, crawfish at a variety of places and even get great food at some 24 hour restaurants. If you can get a reservation, try to eat lunch at one of New Orleans most highly rated restaurants, many of which have inclusive menus under $ 30, including: Antoine's, Commander's Palace, Restaurant August and many more. 24 hour food New Orleans tastes better when it's Mardi Gras or festival season.
