It’s hard to imagine Mardi Gras anywhere besides Soulard. Between the grand parade and the throngs of revelers, options that don’t involve horrendous parking, overpriced beer and endless bathroom lines are easily overlooked. Had your fill of house parties, packed pubs and overflowing beer tents? Try Graham’s Grill & Bayou Bar in Kirkwood for its 17th annual Mardi Gras celebration where you can buy crawfish by the pound.

For a handful of alternative destinations for the annual feast of debauchery, check out this month’s tour here.
