Over the last couple of years, we've seen a number of women yell back at guys who are encouraging them to show their breasts. They want the guys to flash something of their own. DO enjoy the family atmosphere of Mardi Gras in the Uptown area. Mardi Gras on St. Charles and Napoleon Avenues is a good bit different than what's happening in the Quarter. This is where families spread out blankets on the neutral grounds and have picnics.
People even bring out playpens to lay down the little ones when it's nap time.
It's a time for families to relax and have a good time, catch some stuff, and enjoy the parades. If all you've ever heard about are the wild times your co-workers have had in the Quarter when they come to Mardi Gras, remember that there are a lot of family folks who are a good bit more subdued than that. DON'T expose any parts of your body outside of the French Quarter. Simple as that. The guys on the floats may want you to pull up your top before they'll throw beads.
