RouxThe Day, please remember that I am not from New Orleans, not even Lousiana, so am ignorant of Mardi Gras culture. So, what is Lundi Gras? And, when is the costume contest in the Quarter? I think I would love this!
Thanks to all who have replied! I am so looking forward to coming to NO. There is a great group of people on this forum!
