The spirit of House Floats is DIY — amateur artists and professionals alike have been able to find solace and creativity with it after the COVID-19 pandemic wiped out regular gigs and brought sorrow to a city usually known for celebrating.
It began as somewhat of a joke after local resident Megan Boudreaux mused on social media about a way to keep Carnival going in the absence of parades last year.
But the idea swiftly took off and was embraced across the city as New Orleanians got to work to showcase their creativity from porches and balconies and yards.
As Coco Darrow, the lead artist and designer of Stronghold Studios, puts it, “it was a way to show the world we could still make lemonade out of lemons.”
What could have been a temporary tradition is now likely here to stay — even as the city prepares for a slightly-more-normal Carnival season this year and parades are expected to roll.
Stronghold Studios is filled with giant flowers, light-up “luna moths,” a giant sugar skull, cut-outs of local celebrities and other homages to New Orleans culture and beyond. The team of painters, carpenters and other producers will expand over the next several weeks as the studio ramps up production and prepares for a swell of custom orders.

Making Mardi Gras
Sponsored by Blaine Kern’s Mardi Gras World and Kern Studios
January 11–May 8, 2022
Tuesday–Saturday, 9:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.; Sunday, 10:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.

About the Exhibition
You can feel it coming. A marching band cadence echoes from a mile away. Pounding drums and bright feathers flare from the Mardi Gras Indians just up the block. Months of painstaking glittering, marching, beadwork, and brushstrokes have led up to this moment, and you are ready to burst into the street. It’s Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
On January 6, 2022, The Historic New Orleans Collection’s Making Mardi Gras exhibition rambles its way into the museum's French Quarter galleries. This showstopping display invites visitors into the sprawling dens, late-night sewing sessions, and sweaty dance rehearsals where “The Greatest Free Show on Earth” is created and re-created each year among the city’s diverse communities. Explore the vibrant expression that only Carnival season can muster, as we meet up with 19th-century float artists, dawn-breaking skeleton gangs, and homebound house-float creators—stopping to admire costumes, royalty, and hand-painted coconuts.
This is the Mardi Gras that happens before we're watching, the Carnival that will wind through the city on Fat Tuesday, far from the intemperate Bourbon Street scene. Catch it before it passes.
This exhibition is generously sponsored by Blaine Kern’s Mardi Gras World and Kern Studios.

About the Exhibition
Since 1872, revelers on Mardi Gras Day have danced to the tune “If Ever I Cease to Love” and waved to the self-proclaimed “King of Carnival” as the Rex parade wound its way through the city of New Orleans. To mark the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Rex, The Historic New Orleans Collection unveils Fit for a King, an exhibition showcasing jewels, favors, doubloons, float designs, and more from THNOC’s Rex-related holdings, which number in the thousands.
Presented in conjunction with the large-scale Making Mardi Gras exhibition at 520 Royal Street, Fit for a King is part of THNOC’s spring exploration of the creativity that Carnival season conjures.

NATIONAL BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE DAY
Chocolate lovers, rejoice! National Bittersweet Chocolate Day on January 10th gives you the excuse to indulge in some chocolate satisfaction. (National Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day is celebrated on November 7th.)
Chocolate comes from the seed of the tropical Theobroma cacao tree. Cacao, which has been cultivated for at least three millennia, is grown in Mexico, Central America, and Northern South America. The earliest known documentation of the use of cacao seeds is around 1100 BC. The cacao tree seed has an intensely bitter taste and must be fermented to develop the flavor.
Once the seeds have been fermented, the beans are then dried, cleaned, and roasted. After roasting, the shell is removed to produce cacao nibs. The cacao nibs are then ground into a cocoa mass which is pure chocolate in rough form. Usually, the cocoa mass is liquefied then molded with or without other ingredients. This is called chocolate liquor. The chocolate liquor may then be processed into two components: cocoa solids and cocoa butter.
Bittersweet chocolate is chocolate liquor to which sugar, cocoa butter, and vanilla have been added. It does have less sugar and more liquor than semisweet chocolate. However, the two of them may be interchangeable when baking.

Studies have revealed that there are certain health benefits from eating bittersweet chocolate in moderation, such as lowering blood pressure and helping to protect the heart.

NATIONAL OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER DAY
National Oysters Rockefeller Day on January 10th recognizes a dish so rich there was only one man’s name this dish could bear at the time. At least, that’s the story according to the chef who so masterfully created famous recipes in the French Quarter.
In 1889 in the renowned kitchen of Antoine’s, Jules Alciatore developed a recipe for baked oysters on the half shell with sauce and bread crumbs that would earn the name Oysters Rockefeller. A dish so rich Alciatore himself admitted, “…I know of no other name rich enough for their richness.”
While other restaurants serve similar dishes, only historic Antoine’s (founded by Antoine Alciatore, Jules Alciatore’s father in 1840) serves the original Oysters Rockefeller. Food Network’s Alton Brown even told us on Good Eats that Alciatore took the recipe to his grave. Others have tried to determine the finer ingredients without success. Only Antoine’s and the Alciatore family have the authentic recipe.
Having served over 3.5 million orders of Oysters Rockefeller, and counting, Antoine’s recipe has withstood the test of time and garnered the praises of culinary critics. Since 1889, the restaurant has numbered each order. Even today’s customers receive their privileged number identifying their place in the history of Oysters Rockefeller.

The Traveler’s Hotel was located at 441 – 443 St. Charles Avenue at the corner of Poydras Street. In 1902 it was Penn’s Saloon, and the rooms upstairs were rented. This photograph dates from the 1930s by Charles L. Franck. This corner would be where One Shell Square (Hancock Whitney Building) is now situated.
The ground floor corner was occupied by the United Cigar Store, one of several they had in New Orleans. To the right of the cigar store was Sam Gluck’s Restaurant, whose primary location was at 124 Royal Street. He did have two other locations, this one at 437 St. Charles and another at 1115 Canal Street. To the left was the DeLuxe Lunch Room and the Central Barber Shop on the Poydras Street side.

Derby Gisclair
A recent question from Joseph Mahoney regarding the location of the Old Absinthe House bears some clarification. The building at 240 Bourbon Street on the corner of Bienville Street was constructed between 1805 and 1809 depending on which source you choose to cite. It was built Pedro Front and Francisco Juncadelia to serve as their importing firm.
Shown here in 1903, you will notice that the ground floor of the building is taller than the second floor. This provided adequate space for the “entresol” or mezzanine floor between the ground floor and the upper floor. The ground floor was the location of the business itself while the entresol was used for storage and inventory. The second floor provided space for the living quarters for the owners. You will notice this architectural feature in several of the older surviving buildings in the French Quarter.
In 1815, the ground floor became Aleix’s Coffee House, as saloons were termed at the time, and was operated by the nephews of Senora Juncadelia. It was later renamed The Absinthe Room. One of the more colorful debates in New Orleans history is whether or not General Andrew Jackson planned the defense of the city before the Battle of New Orleans in the entresol with Jean Lafitte and Governor Claiborne, a claim also made by the Original Pierre Maspero’s (Maspero’s Exchange) at 440 Chartres Street. Both still lay claim to the legend.
During Prohibition, the original copper-topped wooden bar and all of the fixtures were removed to 400 Bourbon Street where they operated as a speakeasy. They remained there long after the repeal of Prohibition until the original bar and decorative marble fountains were returned to 240 Bourbon Street in 2004. So, for a brief time there were two establishments – the Old Absinthe House at 240 Bourbon and the Absinthe House Bar at 400 Bourbon.

Whether seen on HBO’s Treme or at their legendary Tuesday night gig at The Maple Leaf, Grammy-winning Rebirth Brass Band is a true New Orleans institution. Formed in 1983 by the Frazier brothers, the band has evolved from playing the streets of the French Quarter to playing festivals and stages all over the world. While committed to upholding the tradition of brass bands, they’ve also extended themselves into the realms of funk and hip-hop to create their signature sound. “Rebirth can be precise whenever it wants to,” says The New York Times, “but it’s more like a party than a machine. It’s a working model of the New Orleans musical ethos: as long as everybody knows what they’re doing, anyone can cut loose.” In the wake of the sometimes- stringent competition amongst New Orleans brass bands, Rebirth is the undisputed leader of the pack, and they show no signs of slowing down.

LIVE MUSIC FROM THE BRASS-A-HOLICS at the Jazz Playhouse
Since 2010, the Brass-A-Holics have been taking their unique sound around the world. Steeped in the deep musical culture of New Orleans, the band brings a heavy dose of go-go funk to the New Orleans brass sound. In a blending of musical cultures stemming from cities separated by more than a thousand miles, a Brass-a-Holics live show takes the New Orleans brass band culture and infuses it with the electricity of Washington D.C.'s go-go. The resulting sound is both captivating and unique.
*Preferred Seating for small parties only. Parties of 8 or more people must inquire via email to cwhitney@sonesta.com to reserve.*
**Special Event valet rate - $5/vehicle. Please provide ticket to event staff for validation. Garage entryways located on both the Bienville and Conti sides of the hotel.

There’s intrigue at the Kit Kat Klub, where Sally Bowles performs and Berlin’s nightlight swirls during the rise of Nazi Germany in “Cabaret.”
FULL DESCRIPTION
In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920's draw to a close, a garish Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the Cabaret. With the Emcee's bawdy songs as wry commentary, Cabaret explores the dark, heady, and tumultuous life of Berlin's natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, is immediately taken with English singer Sally Bowles. Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally's boarding house, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish. Musical numbers include "Willkommen," "Cabaret," "Don't Tell Mama" and "Two Ladies."

Mardi Gras 2022 begins with fabulous foot parades: Chewbacchus, Krewe du Vieux, ‘tit Rex
Weeks before the big float parades stampede through the streets, smaller do-it-yourself foot processions gallivant between the curbs. These swarms of feminist Francophiles, nerdy science fiction devotees, absinthe fairy followers, ribald jokesters and other quirky Carnival cabals provide some of the season’s sweetest experiences.
Most of these parades are 21st-century inventions, but they hark back to the earliest, individualistic Mardi Gras impulses. Hail ‘tit Rex! Hail krewedelusion, and Cork! Hail all y’all.
Note: At this writing some details of the upcoming parades aren't completely worked out and may change as start time approaches. Check back for exact parade routes, themes and other features.
Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus
Saturday, Feb. 5, 7 p.m., Marigny and French Quarter
The Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus is a science fiction-oriented foot parade that’s named for Bacchus, the Roman God of wine, and Chewbacca, the furry "Star Wars" sidekick.
The assorted aliens, space heroes, robots, monsters, and cosmic musicians of Chewbacchus first hit the streets in 2011. With annual dues of a mere $42, the do-it-yourself krewe grew to become what may be Carnival’s largest marching club, with 2,000-plus members. In 2013 the krewe achieved an unparalleled meta milestone when Peter Mayhew, the late actor who played the role of Chewbacca, served as parade king.
The lengthy, nerd-friendly parade typically follows a path through the Marigny, to the French Quarter, via St. Claude Ave., Frenchmen Street, and Decatur Street.
Krewe Boheme
Friday, Feb. 11, 7 p.m., Marigny and French Quarter
The mostly female krewe was inspired by absinthe, a formerly outlawed liqueur favored by Belle Époque artists, which is reputed to have hallucinatory properties. The dreamy Boheme parade sashayed through the downtown streets for the first time in 2019, led by their languid mascot, a green absinthe fairy (imagine an Art Nouveau Tinker Bell that follows the Grateful Dead).
Boheme is composed mainly of New Orleans' marvelous dance and marching troupes. Past parades have passed from the Marigny to the French Quarter.
Krewe du Vieux
Saturday, Feb. 12, 6:30 p.m., Marigny and French Quarter
Expect papier-mâché political satire and anatomical allusions aplenty from this procession of costumed marchers, mule-drawn mini floats, and spirited brass bands. Established in 1987, Krewe du Vieux is known for the sort of recklessly adolescent humor that sensible, sensitive folks avoid. Which is why the rest of us try never to miss it.
This year’s KDV theme is “Vaxxed and Confused,” and the parade scored an unparalleled coup by crowning Dr. Jennifer Avegno, head of the New Orleans Health Department, as queen.
Avegno says she's prepared for whatever irreverance the procession provides. “After the events of the past two years, no one deserves to be made fun of more than me,” Avegno said with gracious self-deprecation, when her coronation was announced.
The krewe typically treks from the Marigny to the French Quarter and back. It flows upriver on Royal Street, turns on Toulouse Street, and returns downriver along Decatur and Chartres streets.
krewedelusion
Saturday, Feb. 12, 7:15 p.m., Marigny and French Quarter
Krewedelusion is one of Mardi Gras' most eccentric, eclectic parades, with homemade min-floats, dance troupes, and marching groups including the Mexican Krewe de Mayahuel and Kreweleidoscope (formerly the musical Krewe du Seuss).
The king of the krewedelusion’s 12th parade is Tremé Brass Band leader, Benny Jones Sr., who will be escorted by members of the Black Men of Labor social and marching organization.
Krewedelusion usually follows immediately behind Krewe du Vieux through most of its trek, though the exact route has not yet determined.
'tit Rex
Sunday, February 13th, 4:30 p.m., Marigny
Inspired by the shoe box parades traditionally created by New Orleans school kids during Carnival season, 'tit Rex (petit Rex) was founded in 2009 as an antidote to the lavish, big-footprint krewes such as Bacchus.
The satirical, doll-scale parade could have remained an artsy novelty, but in 2011 the mighty Rex organization threatened to sue poor little 'tit Rex for infringing on the much older, wealthier krewe’s trade name.
In the end, ‘tit Rex agreed to change their name slightly (they adopted an upside-down "e"). But by then, Rex's public relations faux pas had made ‘tit Rex famous.
Krewe of Cork
Friday, Feb. 18, 3 p.m., French Quarter
The Krewe of Cork comes of age in 2022, with its 21st vino-centric stroll on Royal Street in the Vieux Carre. The annual procession is dedicated to sipping and sometimes sloshing wine, and sharing custom-made beads and other throws.

Route changes announced for 2022 New Orleans
Mardi Gras parades
|
The changes are being made due to limited staffing from police, fire, medical and other public safety personnel, officials said.
Highlights from the press conference:
Magazine Street has been removed from the Uptown parade route.
Parades that traditionally start on river side of St. Charles Avenue will now start at Napoleon and Prytania.
Parades that traditionally start on the lake side of St. Charles Avenue now will start at Carondelet and Napoleon.
Endymion will roll in Mid-City with some modifications. The krewe will not go past Gallier Hall and will not do a traditional toast there. A new toasting spot will be determined later.
Zulu will roll on its original route - starting in Central City - with some modifications. The changes will be the same as in 2020 that were caused by the Hard Rock Hotel collapse.
Rex will start at Napoleon and Carondelet and then roll on its original route.
All the parades will roll on their traditional day, officials said, adding that the changes were made with input from the krewes.
Mardi Gras is March 1. Parades begin rolling several weeks ahead of that day.
The route changes also are temporary for this year, said NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson, and will be reevaluated before the next Carnival season.
