New Orleans is on my mind in a big way: Superbowl, Mardi Gras and Jazzfest. I’m not going to the Superbowl, but I AM going to Jazzfest this year. As for Mardi Gras, I’m happy to celebrate it in New York City. Although I won’t be able to get my beads thrown at me directly from one of the Mardi Krewes (I love the krewe of ZULU), there are some places in the city that do a pretty solid job of creating the party atmosphere that we love. Can’t wait for February 12 and a whole new wad of colorful beads.

How to Celebrate Earth Day in New York City
On April 22, 1970, nearly 20 million Americans attended the first Earth Day celebration, an event designed to raise awareness of important environmental issues such as pollution, waste, ozone depletion, and wildlife extinction. Earth Day is even more relevant today, focusing on issues such as the increasing amount of garbage in landfills and the rising levels of carbon in the atmosphere, with a goal of helping preserve the health of the Earth. New York City venues have planned fun-filled events to observe the holiday.
