As someone who has experienced the chaotic magic of a New Orleans Mardi Gras several times, I can tell you that the key to any good Mardi Gras celebration is three fold: great traditional Southern food, jazz or other brassy music accompanied by a lot of dancing, and wacky & wild costumes. Oh, and beads…lots and lots of beads. The good news is, you don’t have to travel all the way down to the Big Easy to celebrate the wondrous joys that this holiday has to offer. CT is ready for Mardi Gras this year and each of these local restaurants is serving it up big and in style. Whether you’re in it for the good eats, the Hurricanes, or the dance til you drop live music, this list has got you covered…covered in beads, that is. “Laissez les bons temps rouler!”

Get out there, have some fun, throw on a colorful mask, rip the heads off some crawfish and slurp some gumbo, mes amis. This is a decadent celebration if ever there was one and we’re not even in New Orleans! So, who’s going to find the baby in the cake and be crowned King or Queen of it all?
