Today is Fat Tuesday, and if you’re looking for a way to celebrate Mardi Gras — the traditional anything-goes end to Carnival celebrations that lead up to Lent — we have a few places to drink Sazeracs and gobble down gumbo in our area. Here’s where to head tonight:

[**Piper And Andy’s Traveling Mardi Gras Party**](https://www.facebook.com/events/941981612492817/?ref%5Fnewsfeed%5Fstory%5Ftype=regular)  
**When:**Tuesday, February 17, 5pm-4am  
**Where:** [Sea Witch](http://seawitchnyc.com/?ref=bklyner.com), 703 5th Avenue between 21st and 22nd Streets  
**What:** The owners of the now-closed Two Boots on 2nd Street are back with their popular Mardi Gras party, just in a new location! Expect cheap specialty cocktails (we’re particularly intrigued by the King Cake cocktail) and Abita beers, while Andy and Piper will be cooking up Louisiana fare in the kitchen — seafood gumbo and other fried and seasoned sea critters. Plus enjoy live music from 7-10pm.  
**Cost:** No cover

John LaMacchia will be DJing, playing music inspired by the Big Easy — including some ’50s and ’60s rock and roll, Creole, zydeco, jazz, blues, and more. Plus, they’ll have drink specials all night.

[The BID notes](http://allaboutfifth.blogspot.com/2015/02/restaurant-week-and-fat-tuesday.html?ref=bklyner.com) that they’re also running a contest “where the winner with the most creative Mardi Gras mask will receive a gift card for the restaurant.”
