Celebrate Mardi Gras in Boston

Yes, most of the good Mardi Gras action is down in NOLA. But we have enough booze and parties to celebrate properly here in Boston. Here are our recommendations:

• Eat at Buttermilk & Bourbon – This NOLA-inspired restaurant is complete with oyster bar, hurricanes on tap and elaborate murals on the walls.

• Revolutionary Snake Ensemble Mardi Gras Party – Groove to the tunes of a band inspired by the second line brass bands of NOLA on March 5 (the night of Mardi Gras).

• Mass Ave Mardi Gras – This party (free entrance) on March 2 features classic food, music and a costume contest.
