Grab-and-go sandwiches on the parade route, fried chicken platters, and large-format drink specials abound
When it comes to eating and drinking, locals know the truth about Mardi Gras. While favorite restaurants host their regulars, most eating and drinking doesn’t revolve around bars or restaurants. Instead, the real fun is noshing along the way, stopping in at friends’ homes — always a welcome bathroom option — and grazing as you go. Then there are the vendors that pop up along St. Charles Avenue, Canal Street and Claiborne. Beyond essential king cake bakeries and pop-ups, there are many restaurants on and off the parade route that pull together festive food and drink options for partying on the go. Here’s a roundup of some of the best parade party packages, large-format to-go drinks, and more offered for Carnival 2024.
