It’s Fat Tuesday, everyone! With all the stuff going on the past few days (Chinese New Year, Valentine’s Day), it may be easy to forget that today’s the big Catholic blowout down in Rio, New Orleans, and elsewhere. In addition to two-for-one margaritas at Café Floré, we should also point you to the Tablehopper’s roundup of Mardi Gras party options, including a jazzy blowout in the Fillmore, and the concurrent anniversary of The Tipsy Pig, where they’ll be featuring a three-piece New Orleans jazz band. To those giving up booze for Lent, we wish you the best in your last-minute partying.

Mardi Gras! [Tablehopper]
