SlimJim Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 It's been a few years since I've been to Mardi Gras. I'm considering going this year. Any others considering heading to the Big Easy in February? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to so some homework and figure out where to stay and what we can do while visiting. cany10011 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cany10011 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Good friends of mine who love New Orleans and got married there, always love the Royal Sonesta. It’s in the heart of everything but can get quite noisy if the room faces Bourbon Street. During festival time, a lot of hotels have minimum multiple night stays and the rates are often higher during this time period. If you do go, try Coquette, a cute restaurant in the Irish Channel neighborhood. A little bit off the beaten path but the food is amazing. I still think about their dishes/ food to this day + FrankR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymbeaux Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 For parades, you want to be uptown, preferably in the Garden District on St Charles. Only small parades go through the Quarter, and they are this weekend, Krewe Boheme, my fav. Fat Tuesday is Feb 21, that is the day to roam the Quarter, but better, Frenchmen St in the Marigny. The Wednesday before Fat Tue, the big parades roll everyday until Ash Wed. My advice: Book uptown on the parade route, uber to the Quarter and Marigny to party. If you need any more info, please ask. I've been visiting New Orleans since I was a child, and owned a condo there for 15 years, so I am familiar. I'm headed over tomorrow for the weekend parades. + Vegas_Millennial and Dr.Daddy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJxn Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Decide on what you really want to experience. If it is the parades, then definitely uptown. If it is the gay bar scene, then the Quarter or Marigny. I like the Bourbon Orleans, right next to some of the more popular gay bars in the quarter; however, they REALLY jack up the prices during Mardi Gras. Hotel Saint Marie is another one of my favorites and is less expensive. cany10011 and gymbeau 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cany10011 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Does anyone remember the gay sauna on Toulouse? Believe it has been closed for a while… but had lots of fun there whenever I visited NOLA for work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJxn Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Yes, it has closed. A great loss to the community. And the Country Club is no longer clothing optional. What’s the city cumming to??? cany10011 and + Vegas_Millennial 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's not a traditional bath, but I've had some good times there. (And it's a unique, well-equipped gym too) gymbeau and + Vegas_Millennial 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
