There are sadly no second lines and thankfully less projectile vomiting from second-story balconies but here’s where to get your dose of green, purple and gold for Mardi Gras in Beijing.
Nola’s named after New Orleans and chef Brandon Trowbridge goes all out every year with live music, traditional foods and plenty of liquid libations. The Randy Abel Stable will be on hand to provide entertainment and we hope there will be our favorite Fat Tuesday treat, king cake.
