Many areas of the city are untouched by Mardi Gras, as long as you stay away from the French Quarter and parade routes, you'd never know it was going on. It is an amazing city...and while I live in the suburbs, MsGilmore and I enjoy playing tourist in it as much as time allows...awesome restaurants, great places to see, we love just driving around admiring the beautiful homes
