    As a native New Orleanian thank you for making this. This is so well crafted and edited. I have so many guests ask about Mardi Gras, and this is just perfect and spot on. Perfect to send their way.

    This man really said "Mardi Gras, for New Orleanians is more important than Christmas, Easter, any other time of the year". OMG. that is a problem. and I'm so New Orleans.

    hate to tell you this, but the street that is marked as Napoleon Ave. in the vid is actually Louisiana Ave. Napoleon is in between Louisiana and Jefferson.
