FWIW, Carnival Time in NOLA is wonderful. Just stay away from Bourbon Street. (
Are there ANY parades on Bourbon Street?)
Actually, Bourbon Street pretty much sucks 24/7/365.
Other than that there are so many fests, great music (d.b.a is right next door to you), plus spectacular food.
But keep up the charade, it’s a MAGNIFICENT continuing anti-tourism screed.
