New Orleans Shorts
Description: New Orleans is a Louisiana city on the Mississippi River, near the Gulf of Mexico. Nicknamed the “Big Easy,” it’s known for its round-the-clock nightlife, vibrant live-music scene and spicy, singular cuisine reflecting its history as a melting pot of French, African and American cultures. Embodying its festive spirit is Mardi Gras, the late-winter carnival famed for raucous costumed parades and street parties.
Description: While Mardi Gras started as one day of pre-Lenten celebration, Louisiana has taken Fat Tuesday to a whole new level, with a weeklong festival full of beads, floats, parades, drinks, & King Cakes. The streets of New Orleans become a magical carnival like nowhere else. Whether you're a lifelong Louisianian, a Bourbon Street reveler, or just visiting NOLA, a Mardi Gras gift is a great way to commemorate the festivities in the Deep South.
