I went to see the Mardi Gras in New Orleans the first time. It was sooo amazing =) Mardi Gras lasts almost a whole month in New Orleans. It's the best thing ever happened there. There were other Mardi Gras parades in Mobile, AL also in Pensacola FL, Destin and Panama City Beach in Florida. Of course they weren't as big and fancy like the one in New Orleans. The parades passed through Canal Street of Downtown New Orleans. It was so crowded with almost millions of people on the streets partying, drinking, collecting beads, dancing and playing. I saw a lot of people with cool costumes and outfits. It was like a different version of Halloween. I don't know why people collect so many beads, they get heavy on your neck. I only had few =P Bourbon Street had the party scene after the parades. I loved it there. There are clubs, bars and nightlife scene on Bourbon Street, Royal St and Frenchmen Streets. New Orleans is such a lovely city. I'm glad that they fixed all the damage Hurricane Katrina caused in the past. The whole city looks great now with tons of things to do, cool places and people. New Orleans is one of the best places to visit in U.S especially during Mardi Gras. It's one in a lifetime experience there. I wish New Orleans had more vegan restaurants and places. I actually saw a few online that serve all kinds of delicious Vegan dishes and some amazing Vegan bakeries around the town. Vegan is the best thing can happen to any place. We definitely need more Vegan shops, restaurants and bakeries everywhere =) Peace out !!
