Daily -ist List: My Big Fat Tuesday To Do List

The Titties and Beads Edition

It's Fat Tuesday Houston. A day made for over eating, over drinking, over partying, and pretty much over indulgence in general. For those of you non historically minded people, Fat Tuesday, or Mardi Gras in French, has evolved from a glutonous day long celebration the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday (the start of Lent), into weeks and months of balls, parades, ceremonies, and bar tabs. Oh, and lest we forget, beads.
Today, Houstonist can't help but think that if we lived in New Orleans, we would have the day off, but we will use our love of Houston to work through this little bump on the road of life. Get out tonight Houstonians, and celebrate a day that seems named for one of the top ten fattest cities in the nation.. Fat Tuesday.
Parades, Food, and Liquor: Head to Galveston, that's right, our own little Mardi Gras to the south. The Mystic Krewe of Aquarius rolls down the strand tonight at 6:30p. Arrive early to steak out your spot, and please, try to keep the titties under lock and key.
Mardi Gras Grill: Head on over to the Mardi Gras Grill at 1200 Durham. They are having specials on hurricanes, crawfish, and other select menu items. The Grill will also have a live band. Get there early because it fills up fast, and last year, they ran out of crawfish.
Ragin' Cajun: This Louisiana eatery has multiple locations, but we prefer the one on Richmond near the tracks. For Fat Tuesday, the specials vary per location, so contact them directly for specific specials and events. In our opinion, if it's crawfish you are after, get them at the Ragin' Cajun!

From Houstonist to you: have fun, be responsible, and try your best to get maximum beads with minimum exposure of titties! (ok, maybe that last part was from lady Houstonist, and not man Houstonist.)
